Today we’re turning our attention to one of the most iconic and longest running British soaps: EastEnders.

Set in the fictional London borough of Walford, EastEnders follows the lives of the residents of Albert Square, a tight knit East End community full of drama, secrets, and the occasional laugh down the local pub, The Queen Vic. From the Mitchells and the Beales to the Slaters and the Brannings, generations of families have faced love and loss, and had a fair few shouting matches throughout.
