Albert Square is the fictional location of the popular BBC Soap Opera '' EastEnders ''. It is ostensibly located in the equally fictional London Borough of ''' Walford ''' in London 's East End . The square's design was based on the real life 'Fassett Square' in the East End, and was given the name Albert Square after the real life history of Prince Albert and the then deprived East End. The Public House , The Queen Victoria , was also given its name due to this. One of the key characteristics of the pub is the window twitching by any of the occupants throughout the years. They are often known to look out of the windows, giving a view across the whole Square. This is especially common in dramatic storylines. Central to the Square are the gardens. As the show is filmed up to six weeks in advance, the trees need to have extra leaves stuck on them during the spring to make them look like they would in summer. The garden is home to Arthur Fowler 's bench, which was placed there in memory of him. The bench is also known as the Bench of Tears, as it is often the place where characters will go and cry.
