About Berkhamsted

Berkhamsted is an historic town of some 19,000 people. It is situated in the west of Hertfordshire, between the towns of Tring and Hemel Hempstead. It is in the administrative district (and borough since 1984) of Dacorum. The town thrives as a prosperous settlement for those working in London.

The name of the town has been spelt in a variety of ways over the years, and the present spelling was adopted in 1937. Earlier spellings included Berkhampstead, Muche Barkhamstede, Berkhamsted Magna, Great Berkhamsted and Berkhamstead. Historian Percy Birtchnell identified over 50 different spellings and epithets since the Domesday Book. However, the town is known to locals as "Berko".

It is also the home of the British Film Institute's National Film and Television Archive, the largest film archive of its kind in the world endowed by John Paul Getty. This world class facility archives copies of all English language films.
