BBC to demolish EastEnders set

The plans were submitted to Hertsmere Borough Council in July.

BBC bosses are planning to demolish the 'EastEnders' set.

The 30-year-old soap is set to get a facelift with bosses ready to tear down Albert Square at Elstree Studios in North London and replace it in order to modernise it and make it up to 20 per cent bigger.
