Stacey's cousin, Belinda Peacock (Carli Norris), began staying with The Fowlers in May, following her separation from her husband, whilst Andy Flynn (Jack Derges) briefly stayed here in May too.

5 Albert Square
The house was originally owned by Benny Bloom (Arnold Yarrow), who lived here with his wife Golda, in the backstory of the show. The house was derelict and was used as a squat by a number of homeless characters, including Rod Norman (Christopher McHallem), Donna Ludlow (Matilda Ziegler), Mandy Salter (Nicola Stapleton) and Aidan Brosnan (Sean Maguire).

Richard Cole (Ian Reddington) bought the property in 1993 and converted it into bedsits. During its time as flats/bedsits it was lived in by Ricky and Bianca Butcher (Sid Owen and Patsy Palmer), Liam Tyler (Francis Magee), Sanjay Kapoor (Deepak Verma), Della Alexander (Michelle Joseph) and Binnie Roberts (Sophie Langham). The house was later sold to Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).

It was then converted into a semi-detached property and Phil and his wife Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) lived here with their son Ben (Matthew Silver), until Kathy left Phil and took Ben with her to South Africa. Phil then shared the house with his girlfriend Lisa Shaw (Lucy Benjamin), and his godson Jamie (Jack Ryder) also lived here. Other guests to stay with Phil have included his mother, Peggy (Barbara Windsor), Dan Sullivan (Craig Fairbrass), Conor Flaherty (Seán Gleeson) and Harry Slater (Michael Elphick). Phil later moved to the Queen Vic with Sharon Rickman (Letitia Dean), and Steve Owen (Martin Kemp) bought the house. He lived here alone, and later with his to-be-wife, Mel (Tamzin Outhwaite).

The house was then left empty until Den Watts' (Leslie Grantham) return from the 'dead'. He bought the house for his family, but when the family fell apart, Johnny Allen (Billy Murray) bought it. His daughter Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton) and girlfriend Tina Stewart (Charlotte Avery) moved in soon after. Tina left Johnny, and Ruby moved in with her boyfriend Juley Smith (Joseph Kpobie), and then Ruby and Johnny left Walford to live in Essex. Johnny has since died in prison and Ruby moved into number 41 before leaving Walford for good.

The house, still owned by Ruby, was then left empty, until Max Branning (Jake Wood), his wife Tanya (Jo Joyner) and children Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) and Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) moved in in late June 2006. Max's son, Bradley (Charlie Clements) moved in with them, before moving out to live with his wife, Stacey (Lacey Turner). Max was then kicked out upon the revelation of his affair with Stacey, and, shortly after, Tanya's sister, Rainie Cross (Tanya Franks) returned. Rainie was later asked to leave by Tanya as Max did not like the idea of an ex-drug addict living with his children and was going to use that against Tanya to gain custody of his kids. The house is now occupied by Tanya, Lauren, Abi and newly-born, Oscar (Gabriel Miller-Williams).

In July 2008, Max announced he'd bought the house from Ruby. However, days later, Max's brother Jack (Scott Maslen) announced that he had been in touch with Ruby and had beaten Max's bid for buying the house. In October 2008, Lauren run over Max and Tanya took the blame for her crime. Following Max's recovery, he had Jack kicked out of the house so he could look after Lauren, Abi and Oscar (now played by Charlee and Neo Hall), but when Tanya was released in January 2009, she kicked Max and Bradley, who had recently moved back in, out. Lauren had to live with social services after confessing to her crime. After being away for three months, Lauren was allowed to return home and Max moved back in, in July 2009. Tanya and her best friend, Jane Beale (Jo Joyner) decided to do a wife swap for a week and Jane came to stay with the Brannings. In December 2009, Tanya left Max after discovering that he lied about being in debt and she took Lauren and Oscar with her. Abi stayed with Max as she did not want to go, but at Christmas, Tanya returned to the house and Max tells Abi that she must go with her as there is no need for her to stay with him. This leaves Max living alone in the house. In early 2010, Abi unexpectedly turned up at the car lot, surprising Max, telling him that she hated living with Tanya and wanted to move back in.

Max's sister, Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson) and her son Billie (Devon Anderson) move in several months later, as Carol had to help Max after the sudden death of Bradley. In spring 2010, Billie left to join the army and in July 2010, Abi convinced Max to let Darren Miller (Charlie G. Hawkins) move in following his eviction from his own flat. In August, Rainie returned for a visit - causing friction with Carol, as Rainie, in need of drugs, had stolen some of Carol's money. Ultimately, Max threw both Carol and Rainie out. Vanessa Gold (Zoe Lucker) moves in after her husband, Harry (Linal Haft) throws her out. However, when Vanessa's daughter Jodie (Kylie Babbington) tells her that the stress of visiting the place where Vanessa & Max are living is so much that she is going to break up with Darren, Vanessa returns to Harry. Lauren (now played by Jacqueline Jossa) returned early from America after dealing drugs, in August 2010. Vanessa & Max later reunited and Tanya returned with her new fiancée, Greg Jessop (Stefan Booth) in late 2010. In April 2011, Max began an affair with Tanya and this was exposed in August - leading to Max & Greg leaving the square and Vanessa moving out of number 5.

Tanya, Lauren, Abi, Oscar, Rainie and Tanya's mother, Cora Cross (Ann Mitchell), moved into number 5 following Max's departure. Max returned in November and joined them, causing Cora to leave. Joey Branning (David Witts) stayed with the Brannings in autumn 2012 and Max was kicked out in December. Tanya, Oscar and Lauren left Walford in June 2013, leading to Max moving back in. Lauren returned in August, but Max was arrested for attempted murder in October so Cora joined the girls. Dexter Hartman (Khali Best) joined Cora, Lauren and Abi in December when his mum left Walford, but him and Cora are forced to leave when Max returned from prison. Lauren and Abi briefly moved out following a disagreement with Max. Stacey Branning, her daughter, Lily (Aine Garvey) and Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) all stayed with Max briefly in September 2014. In November, Max's partner Emma Summerhayes (Anna Acton) moved in with him, Lauren and Abi, but was killed in January 2015.

Abi moved in with her partner and his family and Lauren moved to New Zealand with her partner in February, leaving Max alone. Max moved out in July, having faced eviction and the following month, bailiffs removed his belongings. In April 2016, Sharon Mitchell decided to buy 5 Albert Square in an auction, but was outbid by Jack Branning, who decided to turn the house into flats. A builder, Andy Flynn (Jack Derges), secertly squatted in the flat until Jack installed cameras in the flat.

Deals on Wheels
Deals on Wheels (previously Frank's Autos, Pat Cars, Evans & Son, Janine Cars, Toucan Cars, Mitchell's Executive Motors, Branning & Son and Branning Brothers) is a used-car dealership that is located at 6 Albert Square. It was first owned by wheeler-dealer, Frank Butcher (Mike Reid) and his wife, Pat (Pam St. Clement) as Frank's Auto in 1989 after being closed for 6 years. Frank employed Christine Pretis (Vivien Heilbron) as the bookkeeper from 1989 until 1990, when she became too expensive. Frank becomes in financial ruins in December 1993, leading to him asking Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) (out of desperation) to set fire to the car lot so he can claim on his insurance, in March 1994. Phil goes through with this, but unknown to him and Frank, a homeless man is sleeping in one of the cars and burns to death. Frank is arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, but is later released due to lack of evidence. Frank tries covering his tracks by claiming his accounts have burnt but Pat gives the business's books to the investigating agent. The pressure becomes too much for Frank, who is suffering severe guilt over the death of the homeless man. He becomes so depressed and despondent, no one can get through to him. Unable to cope, Frank leaves Walford and his family without warning in April 1994, and does not contact them to say where he is. Pat renames the business Pat Cars, but struggles to run it alone.

David Wicks (Michael French) and Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen) go into partnership and buy Pat Cars - renaming it Deals on Wheels. Frank later returns at Christmas in 1995, announcing he wants his business back, worrying David, however he contacts his lawyers and is relieved to discover Frank has no claim on the car lot. Ricky, however, gives his share of the business to Frank, but Frank leaves the square in March 1996. Roy Evans (Tony Caunter) later goes into business with David, following Frank's departure and his son, Barry Evans (Shaun Williamson) helps out here. The car lot later is torched again in 1996 after Barry pays someone to torch it (unaware Frank had left the square already) and Phil is left trapped in the portacabin. Fortunately, Phil is not hurt, but Barry is later arrested for arson. David later leaves the square in November 1996.

The business is renamed again to Evans & Son when Barry takes over David's share of the car lot, much to his glee. Barry risks the business by handing his monetary assets over to con-woman Vanessa Carlton. Barry then loses his job at the car lot, after Vanessa runs away with everything Barry has given her. After the bailiffs arrive at the Evans household, Roy and his wife, Pat (Pam St Clement) ask Frank to be a silent partner in the business. Roy later dies of a heart attack in 2003 and Pat is given full control of the car lot, and she renames it Pat Cars. In July 2004, Pat begins renting to the Ferreira family and rename the car lot, Toucan Cars. They leave in March 2005 and in early 2006, Kevin Wicks (Phil Daniels) takes over management of the car lot and Pat renames it Pat Cars. Kevin dies in January 2008 and Pat sells to Jack Branning (Scott Maslen), who was then blackmailed into selling by Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) and she renamed it Janine Cars.

In 2008, Janine teams up with Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb) and he tricks her into signing over the car lot and he renames it Mitchell's Executive Motors. Archie is murdered at Christmas 2009 and leaves the car lot to her daughter, Roxy (Rita Simons) in his will. Roxy rents the car lot to Max and Bradley Branning (Jake Wood and Charlie Clements), who rename it Branning & Son. Bradley dies in February 2010 and after a year of struggling, Max goes into a silent partnership with Jack, renaming it Branning Brothers. Fatboy (Ricky Norwood) begins cleaning cars for Max, as does Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) in 2012, and Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) in 2013. Joey Branning (David Witts) begins helping in 2013 as well. In October 2013, Jack leaves and Max employs David, who in January 2014, goes into partnership with Max and buys the free hold from Roxy, renaming it Deals on Wheels.

In May, David leaves and Max begins running the car lot alone. In June, Lauren begins working here as does Stacey Branning (Lacey Turner) in August. Stacey quits in August and Lauren ceases working here shortly after. Charlie Cotton (Declan Bennett) begins working here in November as a trainee car salesman. Charlie is promoted to car salesman in January 2015, but takes leave, following the birth of his son. Max later enters a war with the Mitchell family by conning Ben Mitchell (Harry Reid) into signing over Mitchell's Autos. Charlie, being married into the Mitchell family, sides with the Mitchells and quits his job. Phil decides to act revenge and humiliates Max with the help of Karin Smart (Denise van Outen), while also getting him to sign back Mitchell's Autos and sign over the car lot. The car lot remains called Deals on Wheels and Charlie is hired by Phil as the manager. Phil's wife, Sharon (Letitia Dean) employs Fatboy to work here as the car lot manager, following Charlie's departure from Walford. Fatboy employs Lee Carter (Danny-Boy Hatchard) to work here as a car salesman.

Phil begins heavily drinking in late 2015, causing his businesses to slide. Fatboy continues to run the car lot until his death in December 2015. A drunk Phil sacks Lee the following month, leaving the business inoperable. Phil destroyed the car lot with a digger in March 2016, unknowingly putting the life of his daughter, Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper) in danger.

18-20 Albert Square
18-20 Albert Square (formerly The Abercorn Bed and Breakfast and Kimberley's Palace B&B), started as a B&B located at 20 Albert Square, unattached to number 18, consisting of two doubles, three singles, dining room and lounge. It was managed by Madam Doris Bover (a character who was never seen) with the help of Marge Green (Pat Coombs), until it was bought by Pat and Frank Butcher (Pam St. Clement and Mike Reid) in 1989. They also bought the attached house, 18 Albert Square, for use as their residence, which was first occupied by Mrs Pollock. Frank's mother Mo Butcher (Edna Doré) and children Janine (Rebecca Michael), Ricky (Sid Owen) and Diane (Sophie Lawrence) lived here with them and Marge stayed on as their cleaner. Guests at the B&B included Simon Wicks (Nick Berry), Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), Mandy and Lorraine Salter (Nicola Stapleton and Linda Henry), Mark Fowler (Todd Carty), Sam Mitchell (Danniella Westbrook), Joe Wallace (Jason Rush) and Disa O'Brien (Jan Graveson). Both properties were sold to Charles Raymond (Tim Stern) in 1992.

Vicar Alex Healy (Richard Driscoll) converted the B&B to a shelter for the homeless for a while, and later it was restored to a B&B by Audrey Trueman (Corinne Skinner-Carter) and her son Anthony (Nicholas Bailey). When Audrey died, it was run by her ex-husband Patrick (Rudolph Walker) and other son Paul (Gary Beadle). Guests at the B&B during this time included: Trevor and Little Mo Morgan (Alex Ferns and Kacey Ainsworth), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Wilfred Atkins (Dudley Sutton), Frank's daughter Janine, Precious Hudson (Judi Shekoni), previous owner and new staff member Pat, Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman), Barry and Natalie Evans (Shaun Williamson and Lucy Speed), and JJ. Billy Mitchell and Honey Edwards (Perry Fenwick and Emma Barton) stayed here briefly until they found a place of their own, in 2006. Patrick's wife Yolande (Angela Wynter) then moved in, but it is no longer run as a B&B. Aubrey Valentine (Joseph Marcell) stayed with them briefly in 2006 and attempted to seduce Yolande. Bert Atkinson (Dave Hill) stayed there for several weeks with his grandson Jay.

Denise Wicks (Diane Parish) and her daughters Chelsea and Libby Fox (Tiana Benjamin and Belinda Owusu) also moved in, after Patrick and Denise became close. Darren Miller (Charlie G. Hawkins) also moved here after the fire at his family's house. Lucas Johnson (Don Gilet) moved in with his son, Jordan (Michael-Joel David Stuart) to be with Denise as they had reunited. In June 2009, Chelsea ran away, but returned the following month and Jordan went to live with his mother, Trina (Sharon Duncan Brewster). However, in September 2009, during an argument with Lucas, she was impaled on a rake and died, meaning Jordan came to live here full time. Libby began attending Oxford University, but returned home for visits. Libby's father Owen Turner (Lee Ross) returned, but Lucas strangled Owen to his death and buried him under Trina's memorial tree. When Owen's body was discovered, Denise became a prime suspect and Lucas subdued her before keeping her prisoner in the basement of number 18. Lucas then led Denise's loved ones to believe she had committed suicide. However, Denise managed to escape and returned home, with Lucas shortly behind. The police soon arrest Lucas for the murders of Trina, Owen, a woman called Gemma and the holding of Denise. He is later charged with life imprisonment and this causes too much pressure for Chelsea who decides to live in Spain with Libby's grandmother, Liz Turner (Kate Williams). Wanting Libby to also have a fresh start, Denise encourages her to go on holiday with Liz & Chelsea and go live in Oxford upon her return.

Following the departures of Chelsea, Libby, Liz and Lucas, the only people left in number 20 was Denise, Patrick and Jordan. They were joined by Kim Fox (Tameka Empson), but Jordan decides to live with his aunt Gloria. In 2011, Kim purchased number 20 and re-opened number 18-20 as a bed & breakfast called Kimberley's Palace, with new GP Yusef Khan (Ace Bhatti) as their first guest. Yusef moved out and in with his new partner, Zainab Masood (Nina Wadia) and their family at 41 Albert Square. Shortly after, Zainab's ex-husband, Masood Ahmed (Nitin Ganatra) moves in after Denise offers him a room and at Christmas 2011, Yusef sets alight to the B&B in a bid to kill Masood, leaving Kim, Denise and Patrick homeless. However, Kim renovated the B&B in July 2012 and opened it, under the name of Kimberley's Olympic Palace to coincide with the 2012 London Olympics. Unfortunately, Kim is told by officials that she isn't allowed to call her B&B this, so she calls it Kimberley's Palace instead. Since the refurbishment, guests at the B&B have included: Sharon and Dennis Rickman Jr (Letitia Dean and Harry Hickles) on and off; Kim's boyfriend, Ray Dixon (Chucky Venn); newly-reunited couple, Max and Kirsty Branning (Jake Wood and Kierston Wareing); new market inspector, Aleks Shirov (Kristian Kiehling); and more. In late 2013, Denise went to live with her partner, Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) at his house. Kim left for a cruise with a mystery man in January 2014, leaving Patrick to try and run the B&B. The stress becomes too much for Patrick and kicks all his guests out in February. He then invites his friend, Cora Cross (Ann Mitchell) and her grandson, Dexter Hartman (Khali Best) to live with him, after they were kicked out of 5 Albert Square. But, when Cora insults the recently-deceased, Nick Cotton (John Altman) in front of his mother, Dot Branning (June Brown), Patrick throws the pair out.

Patrick suffered a stroke in July 2014 and when he was released from hospital, he was under Denise's care - meaning he has to move in with her and Ian. However, when Denise discovers that Ian has slept with prostitute, Rainie Cross (Tanya Franks), her and Patrick move back to number 18 and 20. Once arriving at the house, they discover they've had a break-in, but Denise's friend and stepson, Shabnam Masood (Rakhee Thakrar) and Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) help clean up. In December 2014, Dean is kicked out of his flat that he shared with Stacey Branning (Lacey Turner) after she discovers he raped Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and his mother, Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) soon joins him. Kim also returns in December, 5 months pregnant and separated from her husband, moving back in. In February 2015, Kim gives birth to baby Pearl, two months early, and Dean goes missing after a fight with his brother, Mick (Danny Dyer).

In April 2015, Dean returns, but is instantly arrested. His father, Buster Briggs (Karl Howman) moved into number 18-20 as did Dean upon his release. Shirley's sister Tina (Luisa Bradshaw-White) stayed here briefly. Kim's husband Vincent Hubbard (Richard Blackwood) joined Kim and Pearl, causing Patrick to briefly move out. Denise kicked out Shirley, Buster and Dean in August. Kim, Vincent and Pearl moved out in October. The house was split again in December when Kim sold her half of the house. Denise's step-son Jordon (now played by Joivan Wade) and his son JJ (Zayden Kareem) joined her and Patrick in Feburary 2016. Jordon was arrested the following month, which resulted in JJ returning to his mother in April.

23 Albert Square
23 Albert Square ("Ventnor") is where Reg Cox (Johnnie Clayton) was found dead in the first episode of EastEnders. It was originally two separate flats, until 2000 when it was converted to a house as the new Slater family moved in. The original Slaters living here were loudmouth grandmother Mo Harris (Laila Morse), easy-going father Charlie Slater (Derek Martin), his daughters: feisty Lynne (Elaine Lordan); floozy Kat (Jessie Wallace); timid Little Mo (Kacey Ainsworth); and bolshy Zoe (Michelle Ryan), and Lynne's partner Garry Hobbs (Ricky Groves). Various members of the family have lived here during different times. Non-original Slaters to have lived in number 23 included: Little Mo's husband Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick); Charlie's daughter Belinda Peacock (Leanne Lakey); Charlie's bleak sister-in-law, Jean (Gillian Wright); and her two children, Sean and Stacey (Robert Kazinsky and Lacey Turner). Various house guests have joined the family over their tenure in the house. Little Mo was being abused by her husband, Trevor Morgan (Alex Ferns) which led to him starting a house fire whilst Little Mo, Trevor and his son Sean were inside. Little Mo and Sean were saved, but as fireman Tom Banks (Colm Ó Maonlaí) tried to save Trevor, the house exploded.

By May 2008, the residents of number 23 were Charlie, Mo, Jean, Stacey and Sean. Sean's girlfriend, Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) moved in with the Slaters during summer 2008 until they found a home of their own. In August, Danielle Jones (Lauren Crace) moved in and in January 2009, Jean left to live elsewhere due to her bi-polar, and Sean left Walford. In March, Jean returned to living here and the following month, Danielle was run down and killed by Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks), leaving the Slaters - especially Stacey - devastated. The death of Danielle and exit of Sean made Stacey have erratic behaviour, before being diagnosed bi-polar. In August 2009, Charlie briefly moves to Medeira with his girlfriend Brenda Boyle (Carmel Cryan) but returns within a few days. When Charlie returns he brings back a new Russian friend named Orlenda (Mary Tamm), she stayed there for a few days but left when Charlie realised she was using him for his money. In October, Jean had Stacey sectioned and she returned in December, pregnant. Stacey's ex-husband, who she has reunited with, Bradley Branning (Charlie Clements), moves into number 23. Stacey's friend Becca Swanson (Simone James) moves in as well and in February, Becca informs the police Bradley had killed Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb), leading to his death and Stacey's devastation.

In June 2010, Stacey gives birth to a daughter, Lily and struggles raising her. After months of controlling Stacey, Becca is kicked out of her life and the house, but not before throwing Bradley's ashes against the wall. In September, Kat returns with her husband, Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) and they briefly stay there until they rent The Queen Victoria from Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden). At Christmas 2010, Stacey is framed by Janine for stabbing her, causing her to leave the square with Lily. Charlie also departs the square in early 2011, while Jean is sectioned. This leaves Mo as the only resident, which makes Kat invite Mo to live with her, Alfie and her baby Tommy (Ralph and Shane) and when Jean returns, she moves into The Vic. Upon the arrival of Eddie, Anthony and Tyler Moon (David Essex, Matt Lapinskas and Tony Discipline), Mo rents the house to them. Eddie leaves in October 2011, whilst Anthony leaves in August 2012 and Tyler also moves out. Roxy and Fatboy (Ricky Norwood) rent the house from Mo from September 2012, living here with Roxy's daughter, Amy Mitchell (Amelie Conway). This arrangement continues until Derek Branning (Jamie Foreman) gets them evicted so her and his daughter, Alice (Jasmyn Banks) can move in. When the affair between Derek and Kat is revealed, she moves in here with Tommy, but the following day, Derek dies.

Following Derek's death, Joey Branning (David Witts) moves in to support Alice and in April 2013, Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd) joins them. Michael is murdered in October and by December 2013, Alice and Joey have left the square, whilst Kat has reunited with Alfie. However, as they have been kicked out of The Vic, Alfie moves into number 23 with Kat and Tommy. In February 2014, Stacey and Lily return to Walford, briefly staying with the Moons. Stacey confesses to Archie's murder and Lily goes to live with Jean in Brighton, leaving Kat, Alfie and Tommy again. Jean makes a visit, with Lily, in August, but after realising her mental state, leaves Lily in Kat & Alfie's care. Kat gives birth to twins Bert and Ernie Moon (Freddie and Stanley Beale) and shortly after, Stacey is given appeal and returns to number 23. Alfie, who is going through financial ruin, sets number 23 alight, unaware that Kat is inside and that Mo has left her supply of hairspray inside. This causes an explosion. Once realising that Kat is inside, Alfie rushes inside and is shortly followed by Peter Beale (Ben Hardy) and Johnny Carter (Sam Strike). All three receive burns to their hands, while Kat receives more severe scaring throughout her body. Everything is lost in the fire, except a picture of Nana Moon (Hilda Braid) which Alfie hid and until the results are given, Mo believes she was responible. The family find alternative accommodation.

In January 2015, bad boy Nick Cotton (John Altman) was ejected from his home at number 25 by mother, Dot (June Brown) and son, Charlie (Declan Bennett). Having nowhere else to go, Nick squats in the derelict and burnt number 23. Dot secretly is aware of Nick's presence in number 23 and begins regularly bringing him food, behind Charlie's back. The kindness made by Dot, streched so far that she bought Nick dodgy heroin, which he took. Dot decided against calling an ambulance and Nick died in Dot's arms. Nearly a week later, Martin Fowler, Kush Kazemi (James Bye and Davood Ghadami) and Stacey discovers Nick's corpse in the living room of number 23, in the same spot Reg Cox was found thirty years previously. In May, it was shown on-screen that building work had commenced on number 23 and in July, it began a process that saw it turn into new luxury flats by a local property developer. By the end of July, it was shown that number 23 had completed refurbishment and new residents had moved in.

41 Albert Square was the original home to Pat (Pam St. Clement) and Frank Butcher (Mike Reid) when they were married. Frank's daughter, Janine (Rebecca Michael; Alexia Demetriou) lived here with them. Frank and Janine left and Pat later remarried. Her husband Roy Evans (Tony Caunter) moved in with her. Roy's son Barry (Shaun Williamson) and his wife Natalie (Lucy Speed) moved in with them. Natalie moved out when she and Barry broke up. Roy's other son Nathan Williams (Doug Allen) also lived her for a while. When Roy died, Barry kicked Pat out of the house. Barry started a relationship with Janine (now played by Charlie Brooks) and she moved in. Janine later pushed Barry down a cliff in Scotland while they were on their honeymoon, but she continued living here until she was arrested for the murder of Laura Beale (Hannah Waterman).

The house was bought by Johnny Allen (Billy Murray) who leased it to Alfie Moon (Shane Richie). Alfie lived here with his brother Spencer (Christopher Parker), and grandmother Victoria (Hilda Braid). Victoria died in December 2005 and Alfie went to America with Kat. Alfie's cousins Jake (Joel Beckett) and Danny Moon (Jake Maskall) also lived here, until Danny was chased from the Square by Johnny Allen. Jake lived here until his sharp exit in October 2006. After Jake left, Ruby (Louisa Lytton) inherited the house from her father and lived there with her boyfriend Sean Slater (Robert Kazinsky), his sister Stacey (Lacey Turner), and her boyfriend Bradley Branning (Charlie Clements). They all moved out when Ruby left Walford, and she planned to rent out the house. In July 2007, Kevin Wicks (Phil Daniels) and his wife Denise (Diane Parish) expressed an interest in purchasing the house and in September 2007, they were devastated when they discovered the property had been sold.

Several weeks later, the Masood family were revealed as the new owners of number 41. The Masood family consisted of; Masood Ahmed (Nitin Ganatra), Zainab (Nina Wadia), Shabnam (Zahra Ahmadi) and Tamwar Masood (Himesh Patel). In June 2008, Keith Miller (David Spinx) surprised the Masoods by moving himself in after being kicked out of his house by stepdaughter Dawn Swann (Kara Tointon). After Keith and Dawn's brother Mickey (Joe Swash) left for the Cotsworlds, Dawn, Jase Dyer (Stephen Lord), Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) and Dawn's baby Summer (Rebecca and Isabella Hegarty) temporarily lived here following the explosion at number 27 that was caused by May Wright (Amanda Drew). They later moved into a B&B outside of the Square and in October 2008, Shabnam left the square to go to Pakistan. In April 2009, Zainab and Masood's eldest son, Syed (Marc Elliott), turned up after being in contact with Zainab and being away from the family for four years. Syed later moved in with Zainab, Tamwar and Masood in May 2009. The following month, Syed's girlfriend, Amira Shah (Preeya Kalidas), moved in with the Masoods for a brief time and then later moved in with Janine. Amira moves back in after she marries Syed.

In April 2010, Syed and Amira rent 11a Turpin Road, therefore leaving number 41 much to the dislike of Zainab. Syed comes back to stay with the Masoods in May 2010 after he says to the Masoods that he will get his life on track and keep away from Christian Clarke (John Partridge) after their secret affair was revealed a month earlier. In July 2010 Syed decides he can't fight his feelings any longer and he can't change who is for his family so he decides to get back together and move in with Christian. In 2011, Tamwar marries his partner, Afia Khan (Meryl Fernandes) and she moves in. She departs in June 2012 after deciding that she can never be truly happy in Walford and the following month, Masood's brother, AJ Ahmed (Phaldut Sharma) moves into the Masood household. December sees the Masood's family friend, Ayesha Rana (Shivani Ghai) arrives and three months later, February 2013, Zainab and Masood end their relationship and she and Kamil leave Albert Square. Ayesha then leaves shortly after and in July 2013, Fatboy (Ricky Norwood) becomes a lodger for the Masoods. Masood's mother dies in January 2014 and Masood insists that he and AJ should go for the funeral, despite AJ getting a new job in Birmingham. AJ refuses, leaving Walford.

Shabnam (now played by Rakhee Thakrar) returned in January, causing Fatboy to move out. Jane Beale (Laurie Brett) stayed with the Masoods between February and April and Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) and his large family stayed with the Masoods between September and November. Peter Beale (Ben Hardy) also stayed here briefly in December. In November 2015, Shabnam moved in with her husband, Kush Kazemi (Davood Ghadami) and Kamil returned to live with Masood. Tamwar left Walford in April 2016. Jane's mother and brother, Linda Clarke (Lynda Baron) and Christian Clarke (John Partridge) stayed with Masood in May.

Michelle moves out in 1986, as does Mark in 1987 and Kenny returns to stay in Walford, for a month, in February 1988 and five months later, Lou dies peacefully in her sleep. Mark (now played by Todd Carty) moves back in 1990 and so does Michelle with her daughter, Vicki (Samantha Leigh Martin), in 1993, but they move out two years later. Arthur dies of a brain haemorrhage in 1996, after months of tragedy for him and in 2001, Mark's new wife, Lisa (Lucy Benjamin), moves in until the couple move out. Pauline's childhood friend, Derek Harkinson (Ian Lavender) arrives in the square and Pauline lets him live in number 45 and in 2003, Martin (now played by James Alexandrou) briefly moves out.

Vikki (now played by Scarlett Johnson) returns living here at the same time as Martin, but she eventually leaves again.

They marry in February 2006, but Pauline dies on Christmas Day 2006, with Joe also leaving the household. Pauline left her house to Martin, unless he reunited with Sonia (which he did), but they left Walford with Rebecca anyway. This left Pete and Kathy's only child Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) in ownership of number 45. He moves into the house with: wife Jane (Laurie Brett); daughter Lucy (Melissa Suffield); and sons Peter and Bobby (Thomas Law and Alex Francis). Jane's brother, Christian Clarke (John Partridge, stayed here with the Beales on two occasions in 2008 and 2009.

Jane left Walford for a month, returning in December 2009. Lucy leaves Walford in August 2010, following a stressful few months, to stay with her grandmother Bev Williams (Diane Langton) in Devon. Peter chose to leave Walford in December, also going to stay with Bev. Jane decides to divorce Ian in early 2011, but continues living with him and Bobby until May 2011. Mandy Salter returned to the square in August, to the surprise of Ian and he invites her to live with himself and Bobby. They later begin a relationship, as well as getting engaged. Lucy (now played by Hetti Bywater) returns in January 2012 for the funeral of Pat Evans (Pam St. Clement) and is disgusted by Ian's engagement to Mandy. Mandy's mother Lorraine Stevens (Victoria Alcock) stays with the Beales during March. On their wedding day, Mandy is perturbed by Ian's erratic behaviour and leaves him. Ian suffers a nervous breakdown and leaves the square, absent-minded. This left Lucy to look after Bobby and in Ian's absence, Lucy matured and acted like a parent to Bobby. Lucy moved her boyfriend Joey Branning (David Witts) into the house and he helped Lucy with Bobby. Lauren (now played by Jacqueline Jossa) found Ian at a homeless shelter and returned him to Walford, where he was given the cold shoulder by Lucy. She later allowed him to return to number 45 because he signed all the businesses over to Lucy. Joey ends his relationship with Lucy and moves out. Peter (now played by Ben Hardy) returns for the opening of Ian's new restaurant, originally titled - 'Ian Beale @ Le Square', and moves back in. Peter and Lucy's half-sister Cindy Williams (Mimi Keene) arrives in Walford and quickly moves in, annoying Lucy and worrying Peter. Ian begins a relationship with Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and she moves in - pleasing the children.

Peter moved in with his girlfriend Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) in March 2014. The following month, Lucy was murdered and Cindy went to live with her aunt, Gina Williams (Nicola Cowper), in Devon. Jane then left Walford, taking Bobby with her, whilst Peter joined Ian and Denise. Following his stroke, Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) moved in, but moves out with Denise in August. Cindy returned in August and gave birth to a daughter, Beth. Jane and Bobby (now played by Elliot Carrington) returned in November, joining Ian and Peter. Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) stayed with the family between December 2014 and February 2015. Jane revealed in February to Ian, Peter and Cindy that Bobby killed Lucy in the family living room and following this, Peter leaves Walford. Martin and Rebecca Fowler house-sat for Ian and Jane whilst they were on honeymoon. Following Cindy's decision to give Beth to her father, she was asked to move out by Ian and Jane, but returned in July. Cindy left Walford in August.

Kathy Sullivan returned to Walford 'from the dead' in October and began staying with the Beales. Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean) stayed here in January 2016 and Bobby left Walford to live at a boarding school. Bobby returned in May and brutally attacked Jane in the living room. When Bobby confessed to attacking Jane and killing Lucy, the house was treated as a crime scene, causing the Beales to stay elsewhere. Ian and Kathy later moved back in, but Bobby was denied bail pending his trial. Steven Beale, Lauren Branning and Ian's grandson Louie Beale returned to Walford and moved in with Ian and Kathy in July, whilst Jane also returned home.

Bridge Street Market
Bridge Street Market is located down Bridge Street and is seen as the centre of the Walford community to the residents of the square. Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) once planned to remove the market in favour of a shopping centre, to the dislike of the residents and his family and in 2004, the residents celebrate 100 years of the market. The residents of Albert Square, led by Ian, fiercely protested against the market's proposed closure in February 2014, resulting in Spring Lane Market merging with Bridge Street Market. There have been many market inspectors over the years, with nobody currently occupying the role.

It is shown that Tracey still has her stall in June 2012, and Jean is offered her old job back by Tracey. However, after Jean argues with Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd) - who has been conning her out of thousands, Tracey sacks her.

When the market merges, florist, Pam Coker (Lin Blakely) arrives, however when discussing the competition with Alfie, Pam states she has no competition. This implies Tracey no longer runs a flower stall and that Pam is the only florist of the market. In early 2016, Pam's grandson, Paul Coker (Jonny Labey), was made redundant and began working on Pam's stall as a market assistant. Paul was killed in July and whilst Pam grieved for her grandson, Claudette Hubbard (Ellen Thomas) ran the stall on her behalf.

Bates' Fruit and Veg Stall
In September 1989, Laurie Bates (Gary Powell) arrives on the square and takes up a market stall, selling fruit and veg. This causes rivalry between another fruit and veg seller, Pete Beale (Peter Dean), which leads to Pete and Laurie's rivalry becoming violent. Laurie later begins a relationship with Pete's estranged wife, Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) and this creates a further rivalry between the pair. Kathy and Laurie later separate and Laurie leaves the square in March 1990.

Masala Masood Stall

Zainab decides to go into business with Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), renaming it Masala Queen, and they open a kitchen/office at 12 Turpin Road. They continue to sell the food here. This closes in 2010. Masood chooses to reopen the stall again in 2015 using the original name, Masala Masood. He hires Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) to work on the stall, alongside himself.

Stacey's clothes stall
After weeks of cleaning together at the R&R and The Queen Vic and failing, Bianca Butcher (Patsy Palmer) and Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) decide to start a market stall, selling clothes. Kat's estranged husband, Alfie (Shane Richie) gives Bianca and Kat the money to get a stall.

Kat and Bianca clash with Donna Yates (Lisa Hammond), when she arrives to the market as a new trader from Spring Lane. Kat is given a suspended sentence in May 2014 and her and Bianca discover someone has bought the pitch next to theirs and will be selling clothes, but are shocked when it is revealed to be Alfie. The war between Bianca and Kat and Donna heats up when Donna starts to tell customers that her clothes aren't 'old tat' unlike Bianca and Kat's.

In June 2014, it was shown that Kat is not working on the stall at the moment due to her pregnancy with twins, but when the Moons become in financial trouble, she returns to the stall while Alfie looks after the children. In September 2014, Bianca leaves the square with her partner, Terry Spraggan (Terry Alderton) and their family, leaving Kat as the sole trader on the stall. Mo Harris (Laila Morse) begins helping out on the stall, following Bianca's departure and the stall temporarily closes when Kat is hospitalized following an explosion at her house. However in November, Kat returns to the stall. Kat continues to work on the stall, but on a few occasions has not worked due to personal issues.

In May 2015, Kat and Alfie win the lottery and plan to emigrate to Spain. After discovering that her cousin Stacey Branning (Lacey Turner) is in need of a job, Kat and Alfie pay for market fees and stock for a year so that she can work on the stall. In December 2015, Stacey gives birth to a son, causing her to quit the market. In April 2016, in need of money, Martin Fowler (James Bye) opens up a stall on Stacey's former pitch. He sells bric-a-brac. Kyle Slater (Riley Carter Millington) assists him on the stall. Martin quickly closes the stall when it begins failing.

Donna's clothes stall
Donna Yates (Lisa Hammond) was one of many to transfer to Bridge Street Market from Spring Lane Market, following the merge. She set up her clothes stall and instantly clashed with Bianca Butcher (Patsy Palmer) and Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace), who also have a clothes stall. It is shown that Donna has two assistants on her stall. In August 2015, Donna is given a second stand after Aleks removes Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) from the market, but this is given to Kush Kazemi (Davood Ghadami) in October. Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) began helping Donna on the stall in May 2016.

Kush's clothes stall
Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) decided to take over a pitch in 2014, with Terry Spraggan (Terry Alderton) assisting on occasion. Market Inspector Aleks Shirov (Kristian Kiehling) sacks Alfie from working on the market in August. Donna Yates (Lisa Hammond) is then given the pitch, extending her stall, but Kush Kazemi (Davood Ghadami) is given the pitch when he arrives in October. Carmel Kazemi (Bonnie Langford) also works on the stall alongside Kush.

The Minute Mart
The Minute Mart (originally called First 'Til Last) is a supermarket located at 1 Bridge Street. It was originally owned by Saeed (Andrew Johnson) and Naima Jeffery (Shreela Ghosh), until Saeed left the square. Naima's parents, who were helping to fund the shop, stopped all funds with Naima after they fell out. The Karims began running First 'Til Last after Naima's parents decided to let Ashraf and Sufia run it. They left in June 1990 and Mr Papadopolous (Lee Warner) buys it in the mid 1990s, with Mrs Andreos running it for him. Mr Papadopolous planned to knock down the wall between the laundrette and First 'Til Last so he could expand the laundrette, however after much persuasion, he decides not to expand. In March 1997, Sanjay Kapoor's (Deepak Verma) mother, Neelam (Jamila Massey) arrives to Walford. In August, she purchases First 'Til Last

In 1998, not long after they marry, Terry and Irene Raymond (Gavin Richards and Roberta Taylor) become the new owners of First 'Til Last. A man smashes his van into the First 'til Last by mistake in 2000, meaning they have to close down. Irene separates from Terry shortly after.

First 'Til Last is later turned into part of The Minute Mart fictional chain, with Nita Mistry (Bindya Solanki) becoming the first character to work here, in December 2001. Following her departure in February 2003, Mr Hendry took over and Gus Smith (Mohammed George) also worked here in that year. In 2007, Patrick and Yolande Trueman (Rudolph Walker and Angela Wynter) purchase the lease to the supermarket and they run it together. Since Patrick and Yolande's takeover, an extra character Helen, began working here. Yolande impresses a Minute Mart official and is offered a management position in Birmingham. Yolande accepts and prepares to move, however Patrick is less keen. Yolande leaves for Birmingham in October 2008, without Patrick. He continues to run the Minute Mart alone, until he bonds with Denise Fox (Diane Parish) which leads to Patrick offering Denise and her sister, Kim (Tameka Empson) jobs in the Minute Mart - to which they accept. Kim resigns from her role due to buying 18 and 20 Albert Square and transforming it into a bed and breakfast. Denise offers her friend, Zainab Khan (Nina Wadia) a job here after her family becoming embroiled in money issues.

Patrick stores some fireworks in the B&B, which he plans to light at New Year and when Yusef Khan (Ace Bhatti) sets fire to the B&B, the fireworks explode. Feeling guilty, Patrick retires and offers the Minute Mart to Denise and Kim - who accept. Yusef dies in the fire and Zainab inherits all of his money, which she gives to Denise and Kim so they renovate the B&B after feeling bad for the pair. Denise and Kim continue to run both the Minute Mart and B&B together and Patrick helps with the B&B. Denise focuses on the Minute Mart more in 2012 and Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) buys a scratchcard from the Minute Mart and wins £250,000, leaving Kim to take pride in owning the shop which someone won a large amount of money from. This leaves Denise feeling very left out. Zainab leaves the square in February 2013, leaving Denise without a shop assistant. After still being in need of money, Zainab's son, Tamwar (Himesh Patel) helps out at the shop.

Kim left Walford in October 2013, leaving Denise as sole shopkeeper. Shabnam Masood (Rakhee Thakrar) joined Denise working at The Minute Mart in February 2014 and the following year, Denise is sacked by the shop owners. The owners decided to sell the shop in July 2015, but later decided to keep it open. Denise returned to work as shopkeeper when Shabnam had to take extended compassionate leave in September. Shabnam left Walford in February 2016 and Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) is employed to replace her.

Cindy's
Cindy's (aka Bridge Street Café, previously Al's Café, Laura's, Kathy's Café, Shirley's Café and Mandy's) is the café located at 2 Bridge Street. It was first seen as Al's Café where it was run by Ali and Sue Osman (Nejdet Salih and Sandy Ratcliff). From the building they also ran a minicab firm called OzCabs. Ian Beale and Guizin Osman (Adam Woodyatt and Ishia Bennison) works her too. In late 1989, Ali begins to struggle to keep his businesses afloat and cannot afford the rent increase. He attempts an insurance scam by torching his cafe, which is witnessed by Ian. Ian uses the situation to his advantage, forcing Ali to sign the cafe over to him and a feud is sparked between them when Ali neglects to mention that the kitchen utilities were bought on hire purchase and are later repossessed. Ian and his wife, Cindy (Michelle Collins) run the café together as Bridge Street Market. When their marriage fell apart, Ian sold the café to his mother, Kathy (Gillian Taylforth). Following Kathy's purchase of the café, Blossom Jackson (Mona Hammond) began working here and continued to work here until her departure in 1997. In 1993, Kathy employed Sylvia Weng-Chung and Christine Hewitt (Rachel Hiew and Elizabeth Power) as a waitress in the café.

Kathy remained in control until 1995, when she fell pregnant with Ben Mitchell (Matthew Silver). Following this and the reunion of Ian and Cindy, Ian buys the café from Kathy and renames it Kathy's Café. Cindy and Ian split up and he continues to run the café alone after this. He employs his fiancée, Melanie Healy (Tamzin Outhwaite) as a waitress. She was fired in December 1999 and Ian goes into bankruptcy the following year. The café is closed for a couple of months. Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), Ian's rival, bought the café and gave a remake. Marie Evans (Elizabeth Sweet) became a café assistant here in 2003. Ian later tried to rebuild his empire, but Phil refused to sell. Ian's ex-wife, Laura (Hannah Waterman) was robbed of her money by Ian and plotted her revenge. Phil gave her a job as café manager to which she accepted and with his permission, Laura renamed the café, Laura's. Phil was framed for armed robbery and left, signing the café to his sister Sam (Kim Medcalf). Laura didn't continue to work here. Ian sneakily got Sam to sign the business to him and he returned it to the name Kathy's Café.

Due to his other business ventures, Ian employed his girlfriend Jane Collins (Laurie Brett) as the café manager. Ian's children, Lucy (Melissa Suffield) and Peter Beale (Thomas Law) helped out here. In 2009, Nick Cotton (John Altman) holds Heather Trott (Cheryl Fergison), Lucy, Lauren Branning (Madeline Duggan), Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald) and Bradley Branning (Charlie Clements) hostage and the café explodes. The café goes under refurbishment, following the explosion. Ian and Jane refurbish the café, to the design of her brother Christian Clarke (John Partridge). Ian goes into a partnership with Jane, but they divorce - battling it out for the businesses. Ian was especially determined to keep hold of the café, but Phil teamed up with Jane to get the café for her. Jane won the café in the divorce settlement, upsetting Ian and she then employs Carol as café manager. Jane, however, left the café soon afterwards - selling it to Phil. Phil's partner Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) manages the café. They renamed it Shirley's Café, in a mockery of Kathy's Cafe - to annoy Ian. She employs Heather Trott (Cheryl Fergison) briefly and Bianca Butcher (Patsy Palmer) briefly after that.

The café was sold back to Ian in April 2012 and he renamed it Mandy's. When Lucy (now played by Hetti Bywater) is given power of Ian's businesses, she renames the café Cindy's. Ian returns to ownership in June 2013 and in January 2014, Carol quits her job. Tina Carter (Luisa Bradshaw-White) is then hired by Ian. Carol returned to work in April 2014, but took leave in May, with Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) and Liam Butcher (James Forde) covering her shifts. Carol returned to work in September and Jane began working at the café when she returned to Walford in November. Carol left Walford in October 2015 and Kathy, who had returned 'from the dead', replaced Carol. Tina was sacked from the café in April 2016 and Bex Fowler (Jasmine Armfield) was shown to work in the café in July.

Walford Laundrette
Walford Laundrette is a laundrette is located at 3 Bridge Street. It was originally owned by Mr Papadopoulos, until his death in 1992 and his son, Andois (Lee Warner) became the owner following his death. The original laundress manageress was Dot Cotton (June Brown) and Pauline Fowler (Wendy Richards) assisted Dot in the laundrette. Dot left the square in August 1993 and Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson) replaced Dot at the laundrette, not long after her arrival, while Pauline took on the manageress role. Andois visited the square in July 1994, where he discovered that Carol was faking an illness in order to get out of work. Carol was actually attending the wedding of Nigel and Debbie Bates (Paul Bradley and Nicola Duffett), which Andonis witnessed. The following day, he fires Carol as well as Pauline, who had been covering up for her. He employed a relative to work in their place, but the launderette fell into chaos, so both were eventually offered their jobs back, however Pauline made him grovel before accepting and managed to get a 75 pence per hour payrise.

In the 1990s, Andois bought the supermarket next to the laundrette, First 'Til Last and planned to extend the laundrette by knocking the wall between the two, but he later decided not to go through with his plan. Carol later stops working at the laundrette and when she returns in 1997, Dot returns to working here. Dot returns to her previous laundrette manageress role, whilst Pauline becomes laundrette assistant again. In 2004, Rosie Miller (Gerry Cowper) arrived and was given a job by Pauline. She left in July 2006. Pauline and Dot continue working here together until Pauline's death in December 2006. Dot continues to run the laundrette alone following her death, but now as laundrette manageress. Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) worked here from 2007 until her departure in 2008. Heather Trott (Cheryl Fergison) begins helping in the laundrette, in late 2008 and she goes on a shortened maternity leave in October 2009, due to struggling to fund for her and baby George. Dot works alongside many other various other colleagues, other than Heather, since Pauline's death. Dot left, following Heather's murder, in April 2012 and Cora Cross (Ann Mitchell) takes over her role, but when she returns in January 2013, Dot resumes her role as laundrette manageress. Cora continues to work here, very infrequently and much to Dot's annoyance.

The laundrette makes less frequent appearances during 2015, following the imprisonment of Dot and the disappearance of Cora. Dot was released in September and mentioned she had a meeting with Mr Papadopoulos regarding her job. She later stated she had been reinstated as the laundrette manageress.

Elysium
Elysium (previously Snooker World, Butcher's Joints and Blades) was originally a snooker hall, located at 2 Turpin Road, owned by Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden). It was rarely mentioned within the show, but was where Phil met his shady cilents. Prior to it's closure, in 1999, Phil's cousin Billy (Perry Fenwick) was the manager here. The building then remained empty until 2011 when Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) bought it for her business, Butcher's Joints, after inheriting millions. It is a letting's agency and cleaning company. Janine employs Billy as the operating director and they open for business in October 2011. She employs Rose Cotton (Polly Perkins), Heather Trott (Cheryl Fergison) and Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) as cleaners. Rose quits the following month, Heather is murdered in March and Jean is sacked in May. When Janine gives birth, her husband Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd) takes over. In September, Janine leaves and closes the business, but still owns 2 Turpin Road and the letting properties. Janine returns in April 2013 and reopens Butcher's Joints. Billy returns working here and in July, Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater) and Danny Pennant (Gary Lucy) are employed as sales assistants. In December, Janine sells several letting properties in order to purchase The Queen Victoria. She is arrested, however, on Christmas Day. Billy continues to run the business with Danny & Lucy. In March, she is found not-guilty and decides to leave, selling the office and her properties. Lucy then uses some of the properties to open her own business, LB Lettings, until her murder in April.

In June, Stan Carter (Timothy West) offers his grandson Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) money to open a salon at this address. Dean then decides to name it Stan's, after his grandfather, but then discovers there is a kebab shop called Stan's. He then decides on the name Blades. He employs three female hairdressers, Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) as a salon assistant and Stacey Branning (Lacey Turner) as a hair stylist. When Stacey discovers Dean raped Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), she cuts ties with him, including quitting her job. Dean employs his mother Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) as salon manager and she continues to manage it in his absence from January to April 2015. Stacey, who is struggling to find employment, accepts Shirley's offer of a job whilst Dean is away. When Dean returns in April, Stacey quits and he employs his father Buster Briggs (Karl Howman) as assistant salon manager. He leaves his position months later. Stan died in April 2015, leaving Blades to Dean. In June 2015, Paul Coker (Jonny Labey) enquires about a job and Dean gives both him and Lola trials as hair stylists, with Lola coming out as the successful candidate. However, on the same day, Lola chooses to leave Walford and she quits her job, giving Paul the job. Dean later manipulates his partner, Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) into quitting her market trader job and become the assistant salon manager, alongside Shirley. In January 2016, Dean was arrested for the attempted rape of Roxy, but whilst Shirley and Buster did not continue running the business, Paul temporarily took on the role of salon manager and ran the salon. Buster later revealed that Blades was to be sold, with Paul also revealing that he had lost his job due to the closure.

In July 2016, Belinda Peacock (Carli Norris) bought the salon, changing its name to Elysium and turning it into a beauty salon.

Beale's
Beale's (previously Eddie's Antiques Emporium and Scarlett's) is currently a burger restaurant, located at 6-8 Turpin Road. It is owned by Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) and his ex-wife, Jane (Laurie Brett). It was originally an antiques emporium, owned by Eddie Moon (David Essex) and run by him and his sons Tyler and Anthony (Tony Discipline and Matt Lapinskas). Eddie wanted to move his business onto the square from Upton Park, but couldn't find any premisses. He later discovers a squatter squatting in here and decides he'll move his business here, in July 2011. Tyler arrives to help him, shortly followed by Anthony. Eddie leaves the square in October, but continues to own his business. Tyler and Anthony continue to run this, until Anthony sells the premisses to Derek Branning (Jamie Foreman) in a poker match. He then leaves the square and Tyler collects everything from the emporium. Tyler then moves the business to a market stall. Derek doesn't make use of the premisses and dies at Christmas 2012.

Months later, Ian decides to launch a restaurant, which he planned to call Ian Beale @ Le Square. Sam James (Cornell S John) helped Ian convert the emporium into a restaurant. Ian was struggling to pay for his restaurant and when he found £10,000 of Derek's, he stole it. However, he was still in need of money so he went into partnership with Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) and tricked his daughter Lucy (Hetti Bywater) into signing all her businesses, which were originally his, to him. Lucy discovered this, on the opening night, but was interrupted by her brother Peter (Ben Hardy)'s return. On the opening night, Ian unveiled the sign where it said "Scarlett's" after Janine's daughter Scarlett Moon (Amelie). Janine then revealed to Ian she had reordered everything with the name "Scarlett's" on it. Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty), Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) and Poppy Meadow (Rachel Bright) are employed as waitresses along with Lucy and Peter. Ian was the chef, alongside Jake Stone (Jamie Lomas) and Jean Slater (Gillian Wright). Jean quits as does Whitney, Poppy and Lauren.

When Lauren goes to an alcoholic clinic, her sister Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) covers some of her shifts. In December 2013, Janine is arrested and decides she will sell some of her properties so she can afford a good lawyer. A desperate Ian asks his recently returned, ex-wife, Jane Beale (Laurie Brett) to buy Janine's share. She initially decides against it, but changes her mind and buys it. They then change the name to Beale's and into a family burger restaurant. They employed Masood Ahmed (Nitin Ganatra) as a chef, after Jake's departure and Lauren and Fatboy (Ricky Norwood) as waiters, following Lucy's murder. Masood quits his job at the restaurant so that he can open a market stall, but uses the restaurant kitchen to cook his food. Peter and Lauren left Walford in February 2015, while Jane begins a more prominent role in the restaurant. Fatboy was killed in December 2015. In February 2016, Ian announced that he would be selling the restaurant in order to pay for his son's boarding school fees, but changed his mind in April. Lauren returned to Walford in May 2016 with Steven Beale (Aaron Sidwell) and they began working at Beale's. Kyle Slater (Riley Carter Millington) was also employed as the chef.

In for a Penny
In for a Penny (previously Walford Post Office & Gilly's Massage Parlour) is a discount store, located at 7 Turpin Road that is seen as a background shop. It was first seen as Walford Post Office and was run by Zainab Masood (Nina Wadia), upon her arrival in July 2007. Zainab was assisted by Denise Wicks (Diane Parish) and the office's postman was her husband, Masood Ahmed (Nitin Ganatra). The post office was closed after cuts, leaving the Masoods jobless, but Masood continued as the business' postman elsewhere. The building later became Gilly's Massage Parlour for a while - to the consternation of Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor), before becoming discount store, In for a Penny.

The Albert
The Albert (previously The Dagmar, Meal Machine, SophistiKate's, Booty, Roxy's, Beauty and Pearls) is currently an upmarket cocktail bar, situated at 10 Turpin Road, owned by Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean) and Vincent Hubbard (Richard Blackwood). Originally an old disused pub, James Willmott-Brown (William Boyde) purchases it and turns it into a suave wine-bar called The Dagmar. He employs the former landlady of rival pub The Queen Victoria, Angie Watts (Anita Dobson) as manageress - much to the chagrin of current landlord (and Angie's ex-husband) Den (Leslie Grantham). They opened for business in June 1987. The following year, they began losing business so James employs young bartenders, Simon Wicks and Kathy Beale (Nick Berry and Gillian Taylforth). After Kathy argues with Pete one night, James invites her here for a glass of wine after work. When it becomes clear that he is trying to seduce her, she attempts to leave. However, he will not take no for an answer and the seduction ends in rape. Den discovers what has happened after Kathy tells him. Den then watches The Firm throw a fire-bomb into the Dagmar and the place catches fire, in 1988. James is later imprisoned for Kathy's rape, in May 1989.

Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) buys the building and turns it into the first of many restaurants, called The Meal Machine. In 1991, Ian briefly employed Joe Wallace (Jason Rush) until learning he was HIV-positive. When Ian becomes bankrupt, in 2000, he loses all his businesses, including Meal Machine. It then became a discount store for several years. Kate Morton decides to set up a nail salon called SophistiKate's here, in 2003 and the following year, Kate goes into partnership with Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman), who brings a hairdressing element to the business. Shortly after discovering a fling between Kate and husband, Den, Chrissie smashes up the salon and leaves. She returns and calls a truce with Kate. In January 2005, Kate decides to leave the square, but Chrissie continues to run the business alone. However, she is imprisoned at Christmas 2005. After Max Branning (Jake Wood) cheats on his wife, Tanya (Jo Joyner), he decides to buy the salon and Tanya turns it into a beauty salon called Booty. Tanya manages to get rival salon's top beautician, Preeti Choraria (Babita Pohoomull), to work at Booty and also employs: Chelsea Fox (Tiana Benjamin), in May 2006; Gaynor Lucas (Kathleen Frazer), in December 2007; Amira Shah (Preeya Kalidas), in May 2009. After Christmas 2007, Preeti didn't return to work because she'd left the square. Gaynor replaced Chelsea in the salon, after her imprisonment. Tanya's sister-in-law, Suzy (Maggie O'Neill) looks after the salon, while Max and Tanya are on holiday, in 2008. Amira quits in September. Tanya continues to run Booty until Christmas 2009, when she leaves the square after Max cheats again. This leaves Gaynor jobless.

Off-screen, Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) decides to buy the salon, with the money she inherited from her father Archie (Larry Lamb), from Tanya and she opens for business in 2010. Gaynor continues working here and Amira is employed by Roxy, in February 2010. Amira quits in March and the following month, Chelsea is employed to take over Amira. However, Chelsea leaves in August, with her aunt Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) replacing her. Jodie Gold (Kylie Babbington) was employed in June 2010. Kim was fired in February 2011. In April 2011, Roxy sells the salon to Tanya's husband Greg Jessop (Stefan Booth) who gives it to Tanya as a wedding present. Gaynor and Jodie continue working here and Tanya employs Jodie's friend, Poppy Meadow (Rachel Bright) as a receptionist for the salon, before seeing her beauty talents and employing here as a beautician. Roxy later persuades Tanya to hire Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) as a salon assistant. Still in need of a receptionist, Tanya gets her daughter Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) to work as one, to keep her busy, but Lauren shortly quits. Poppy and Jodie leave in November, but Poppy returns in June 2012. In December, Bianca Butcher (Patsy Palmer) returns from prison, having gained a hair & beauty qualification, looking for a job at Booty. Lola also decides to ask Tanya for a promotion.

Tanya tells them that they will both trial for the job and whoever does best can have the job. Bianca quits before Christmas and in January, Lola is told she is the new beautician. In June 2013, Tanya leaves the square for Exeter. Booty remains open until August, when Sadie Young (Kate Magowan) buys the salon and calls it Beauty. She allows Gaynor, Lola and Poppy to continue their role here. Lauren asks Sadie for a job as a receptionist, but she tells Lauren she hasn't got the money. Max then offers to pay for Lauren's shifts, to which Sadie agrees. This arrangement stops when Max is imprisoned. In January 2014, Sadie leaves after discovering her husband, Jake Stone (Jamie Lomas)'s affair with Lauren. This leaves Gaynor, Poppy and Lola jobless & annoyed with Lauren. In March, Sharon Rickman and Phil Mitchell (Letitia Dean and Steve McFadden) buy the building and name it The Albert. Sharon employs four bartenders, including The Queen Victoria's barman Johnny Carter and Curtis (Sam Strike and Winston Showan). To re-assert his authority and demonstrate Sharon's vulnerability, Phil hires two men to vandalise the bar, but his plan goes awry when Sharon sacks the bouncers Phil employs to intercept the attack. Sharon confronts the vandals alone; they critically injure her and she is hospitalised with a ruptured spleen. While she is in hospital and too scared to go outside, Roxy manages the bar. Sharon soon returns though and promotes Johnny to bar manager.

In December 2014, Johnny left for a new life in Italy. In June 2015, Phil signs over The Albert to Vincent Hubbard (Richard Blackwood) in return for his silence over the murder of Carl White (Daniel Coonan). When Sharon finds out about this, she demands that Vincent sign her original share to her. Vincent does so and also employs wife Kim (Tameka Empson) as the bar manager. The two engage in a petty feud, but resolve this. Due to some family issues, Sharon was unable to take a central role in the bar which resulted in Vincent renaming the bar, Pearls, without the Mitchell's knowledge. Phil then attacks Vincent because of what he has done and orders him to revert the name, which he immediately does. In late 2015, Vincent's mother Claudette (Ellen Thomas) began assisting at the bar and Vincent also employed Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack) in a bid to get closer to her. Sharon sold her share of the bar to Vincent in March 2016, whilst Claudette and Ronnie have been shown to stop working here.

During Huw and Lenny's tenancy, Alan Jackson stayed in the house, as did the singer Frankie Pierre. Mark and Ruth returned to the premises in 1997. Their foster daughter Jessie Moore lived with them for a brief period and Louise Raymond lodged here with Ruth and so did Mark's cousin Conor Flaherty. Ruth and Mark's marriage broke down in 1999 and he moved out. Ruth moved to Scotland in 1999 after having an affair with Conor and becoming pregnant by him, so Mark moved back in.

Garry Hobbs and his fiancée Lynne lived with Mark for a while and Lisa Shaw moved in after falling out with her boyfriend Phil Mitchell. Lisa and Mark lived together with Lisa and Phil's daughter Louise. Lisa later got back with Phil, and Mark went travelling in February 2003, so the house was left empty for a while. The Ferreira family moved in, in 2003, but the house was repossessed and they were forced to move out a year later. The house was then bought by Ian Beale who lived here with wife Jane and children Lucy, Peter and Bobby. Ian's younger brother Ben stayed here when Ian brought him back from South Africa, in 2006, after his mother and stepfather were killed, but he later decided to live with his father, Phil at the Queen Vic. Ian, Jane and the children moved into 45 Albert Square, in 2007, and the house was rented to Danny and Jess Fuller. The Fullers have since left Walford to be nearer their daughter's school, leaving the property empty.

Denise and Kevin Wicks approached Ian about buying number 55, but Kevin died and Denise left, so doubtless that the arrangement has fallen through. In February 2009, Ian revealed he was renting the property again although the occupants remain unknown, and in November 2010, Phil Mitchell bought the house and began living there, with his partner, Shirley Carter, his relative, Billy Mitchell and Billy's foster son, Jay Brown. Phil's son, Ben returns from a stint in prison and begins living here. Jay is later adopted by Phil and in 2011, Billy moves out. Ben murders Heather Trott in March 2012, but Phil & Jay help him keep it secret. In August, it is revealed that Ben killed her and that Jay & Phil covered it up so Ben is imprisoned for manslaughter, Jay is rejected by everyone and Shirley leaves Phil in disgust. When Sharon Rickman returns to the square, she and her son, Dennis, briefly stay with Phil.

When Billy's great-granddaughter, Lexi Pearce is taken away from her mother, Lola by social services and revealed as Ben's daughter, Phil begins a fight for Lexi and he eventually wins so Lexi begins living with Phil, in early 2013. However, Lexi is returned to Lola in spring 2013. Phil begins a relationship with Sharon Rickman in July 2013 and she moves in with her son, Dennis.

Ronnie's sister, Roxy moves in with her daughter, Amy after the breakdown of her marriage to Alfie Moon. In November 2013, Shirley briefly stays here with her sister, Tina, much to Sharon's displeasure and Jay also moves back in.

Ronnie, Roxy and Amy go to Ibiza in January 2014 and they returned two months later, but they move into 27 Albert Square in April 2014. In September, Ben returns in time for Phil & Sharon's wedding, and the following month saw Jay fall out with Phil and briefly move into 5 Albert Square. He soon returned and in January 2015, Phil is arrested for the attempted murder of Ronnie and the murder charge of DC Emma Summerhayes (Anna Acton). He is released in February, but doesn't return to the square. He does turn up weeks later, briefly, with his mother, Peggy (Barbara Windsor), but doesn't stay.
