'''Martin's Heron''' is a housing estate on the eastern edge of [[Bracknell]] (a town in [[Berkshire]], [[UK]], just west of [[London]]). The name Martin's Heron is frequently misheard, and its name is a source of much confusion. It has nothing to do with the avian [[Heron]] but stems from the old English word for meadow - Hern.
Martins Heron is well known locally as being the site of [[Harry Potter]]'s house. The recent filmed version of [[JK Rowling]]'s famous story was filmed partly on ___location. The external scenes with the actor [[Daniel Radcliffe]] playing Harry Potter at his house were shot on ___location at a house in Picket Post Close, Martin's Heron.
[[Martins Heron railway station]] serves commuters travelling to [[London Waterloo]] and [[Reading, Berkshire]]. The train station is very small but is manned during office hours, and is equipped with CCTV. The train station is situated right next to a [[Tesco]] supermarket, and indeed was built by the supermarket chain, as a precondition of the supermarket being built.

Martin's Heron Tesco is also used for filming. It is one of the very few Tesco supermarkets in the country that is not open on Sunday, owing to concerns from local residents. It is therefore used as a filming ___location for all the Tesco television adverts featuring [[Prunella Scales]] and [[Jane Horrocks]] among others.
