“Stalag 17 by the look of things....” If I Were A Carpenter - Hamburg, Düsseldorf and London. Many of you might already know this, but Hamburg was used as Düsseldorf on screen, and also London was used as Newcastle. The Beco Building site which we saw most of on screen, was actually in Elstree, Hertfordshire, where the EastEnders outdoor set of Walford now stands.
