'''Walford''' is a fictional [[London boroughs|borough]] of [[East London]] in the [[BBC]] [[soap opera]] ''[[EastEnders]]''. It is the primary setting for the soap. ''EastEnders'' is filmed at [[Borehamwood]] in [[Hertfordshire]], towards the north-west of [[London]]. Much of the location work is filmed in nearby [[Watford]], which was chosen for many of the exterior scenes due to its close proximity and the town's name being so similar to Walford. Thus, any stray road signs or advertising boards which are accidentally filmed in the back of shots will appear to read Walford. Locations used in Watford include most interior and exterior church scenes of various churches, the snooker club, the County Court and Magistrates' Courts courtrooms, and the cemetery (where most of the deceased characters are interred).

The name Walford is both a street in [[Dalston]] where one of the series' creators, [[Tony Holland]], lived and a [[Blend word|blend]] of [[Walthamstow]], where Holland was born, and [[Stratford, London|Stratford]].{{sfn|Smith|2005|pp=}} The [[suffix]] '-ford' is found throughout Britain (for example, [[Bradford]], [[Guildford]] and [[Telford]]); it just means the first place you can cross a river.<ref>{{cite web|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070405114814/http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/haveyoursay/yourquestions/yourq_content/yourq_street_names.shtml |archivedate=5 April 2007|publisher=BBC|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/haveyoursay/yourquestions/yourq_content/yourq_street_names.shtml|title=BBC - EastEnders - Have your Say - Your Questions - }}</ref> Walford's [[London postcode district]] is [[EastEnders#Setting|E20]] (real East London postcode districts only went up to E18<ref>{{cite web|title=London Postcodes|url=https://www.spareroom.co.uk/content/info-flatsharing/london-postcodes|publisher=Flatshare Ltd|access-date=5 May 2017}}</ref> until 2011, when E20 was introduced to serve the [[London 2012]] Olympic Park).<ref>{{cite web|title=ROYAL MAIL INTRODUCES NEW E20 POSTCODE FOR THE OLYMPIC PARK|url=http://www.londonlegacy.co.uk/royal-mail-introduces-new-e20-postcode-for-the-olympic-park/|publisher=[[London Legacy Development Corporation]]|access-date=5 May 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131106060433/http://www.londonlegacy.co.uk/royal-mail-introduces-new-e20-postcode-for-the-olympic-park/|date=18 March 2011|archive-date=6 November 2013|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Walford's fictional [[tube station]], Walford East, is located on the ''EastEnders'' [[tube map]] in the position normally occupied by the real [[Bromley-by-Bow tube station]].<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/places/index.shtml Eastenders Website]</ref> As part of the 2010 ''[[Children In Need]]'' charity appeal, Walford became twinned with [[Weatherfield]] in a special programme uniting the two soaps ''EastEnders'' and ''[[Coronation Street]]'' called "[[East Street (Children in Need)|East Street]]".
