Being located near several film [[Elstree Studios|studios at Elstree and Borehamwood]], Bushey and Bushey Heath frequently feature as backdrops for many film and TV shows. Most notable is a bus scene in the ''[[Cannon and Ball]]'' film{{clarify|date=July 2024}}, and in the 1957 film ''[[Lucky Jim]]''. Several historic buildings in Bushey, notably the old [[Royal Masonic School for Boys]], later the International University, in the Avenue, have been used in films over a long period of time, including ''[[Nuns on the Run]]'', ''[[Out of Bounds (2003 film)|Out of Bounds]]'', ''[[Children of Men]]'' and ''[[Harry Potter]]''. It has also been the set for several television comedy series, including ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' and ''[[Little Britain (sketch show)|Little Britain]]''. This site is currently{{when|date=January 2023}} being redeveloped for residential usage, with the 1960s additions to the site having been demolished. Many of ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' episodes include location shots around the Bushey area, and the latter half of the ''[[Confessions of a Driving Instructor]]'' is entirely shot on the roads between Elstree and Bushey, finishing in the car dump at 'Bushey Breakers'. Pupils from local schools including [[Bushey Hall School|Bushey Hall]] and [[Bushey Meads School|Bushey Meads]] have taken part as extras in productions such as ''[[My Dad's the Prime Minister]]''. Warren Lake, a duck pond on Bushey Heath, was restored in 1992 after falling into a poor state of repair.
