10 “Bridgerton” Filming Locations in England That You Can Actually Visit

Cue the strings—here are the best “Bridgerton” filming sites to visit.

While England may be long past its Regency era, Bridgerton fans are decidedly not. Thankfully, Netflix’s steamy smash hit has given this gilded age a second life. And while scintillating scandals are the show’s signature, the grand backdrops are draws in their own right—real-life Bridgerton settings fit for romance, intrigue, yearning, and plenty of heavy breathing.

For fans eager to step into Shondaland’s most opulent world, there’s good news: This Bridgerton filming locations guide makes it easy to experience the high-society fantasy in real life. Grab your diamonds (of the season, or otherwise)—here’s where to go.

1. Ranger’s House, London

See where the Bridgertons pass their London days.

It may not be draped in wisteria in real life, but the Bridgertons’ residence is still a grand sight to behold ... although it's actually adjacent to sweeping Greenwich Park in London, not Grosvenor Square, Mayfair where it's assumed to be situated on the show. (In fact, it's about 8 miles, or 13 kilometers, from Mayfair.) Either way, this red-brick Georgian mansion is now an art museum open to the public. Home to everything from fabulous jewelry to Renaissance paintings, the interior (though not used in filming) is a setting worthy of Queen Charlotte herself, and certainly worthy of a visit, too.

Insider tip: Get to Greenwich via a Thames River cruise for a royally grand arrival.

2. No. 1 Royal Crescent, Bath

Spoiler: The Featheringtons “live” in Bath, a most popular “Bridgerton” series location in England.

Strain your ears, and you might hear Prudence singing or Penelope “sharpening her knives.” No. 1 Royal Crescent serves as the exterior of the Featheringtons’ stately “Mayfair” home. This Bridgerton filming location is actually in Bath, though, a destination so well-preserved, the entire city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Thirty homes make up Bath’s “crescent,” with No. 1 serving as a museum dedicated to English life from 1776–1796. Rest assured, dear reader, that this is a go-to stop on any Bridgerton walking tour in Bath.

3. Abbey Green, Bath

Get your measurements taken at this pretty “Bridgerton” spot.

Less than a mile (1.6 kilometers) from No. 1 Royal Crescent lies Abbey Green, a historic cobbled square built around a soaring 19th-century London Plane tree. It’s an idyllic place to grab a bite, preferably at The Abbey Deli, which doubles—on the exterior—as the spot where Madame Delacroix does her finest pinnings. Grab a seat outdoors, practice your best furtive glances, your thorniest Cressida Cowper jabs, or even your worst French accent.

Insider tip: This one will be showcased with any good Bridgerton scenes locations guide on a Bath walking tour.

4. Castle Howard, York

Where Daphne’s favorite Duke abides.

Driving up to the magnificent Castle Howard as you discover another Bridgerton filming spot, you’ll be as taken aback as Daphne. This circa-1811 estate—a long day trip from London or an easy adventure from York—served as the Duke of Hastings’ ancestral home, Clyvedon Castle. The Turquoise Room, Antique Passage, Long Gallery, and more can be spotted in Season 1 (specifically Episode 6).

Castle Howard and its fabulous gardens and grounds are open year-round for self-guided tours and ticketed visits. Outdoors, avid Bridgerton fans will also spot the setting for one of the show’s steamiest scenes: the Temple of the Four Winds, a rococo folly built for no other purpose than … pleasure.

5. Hampton Court Palace, Molesey

Fit for a king and queen—or three.

Yes, this is the palace of Queen Charlotte—and the real-life Henry VIII. Twelve miles (18 kilometers) south of London, Hampton Court Palace would be an England must-do even if it weren’t one of the best Bridgerton filming sites to visit. Most easily recognized as the backdrop for the wedding reception party for Anthony and Edwina, it also houses the corridor in Benedict's art academy and can be seen behind Queen Charlotte in a key Whistledown-hunt scene or two.

The palace is open for tours—although booking in advance is recommended—and it’s a great day trip from London.

6. The Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club, Berkshire

Pass a Saturday afternoon at the races.

When the Bridgertons and the Sharmas head to the races in Season 2, they’re actually visiting the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club. King Charles is a founding member, and that should tell you all you need to know about this institution's pedigree. Citizens without rank and membership can’t just wander in, but scheduled polo matches are open to the public—when it isn’t in use as a filming location from the Bridgerton series. It’s about an hour west of London and just a few miles from Windsor Castle, so definitely try to combine the two if you can.

7. The Windsor Great Park, Windsor

A “Bridgerton” backdrop and public park—with royal roots.

While you’re already in Windsor, stop by the Windsor Great Park, where the Bridgertons go hunting and Kate and Anthony ride horseback in the rain (no spoilers). This public park used to be the sprawling hunting grounds of Windsor Castle, and today it’s completely free and open to the public—and included in some castle day trips. At 5,000 acres (2,023 hectares), you’ll want plenty of time to wander the grounds, the historic gardens, and maybe even practice your hedge jumps.

8. Syon Park, Brentford

Recall the “Bridgerton” ball made of glass.

Lady Danbury’s fire-lit ball in Season 2—where the Sharmas are first introduced to Queen Charlotte—took place inside the immaculate Syon Park Conservancy. Billed as the "last surviving ducal residence complete with its country estate in Greater London," Syon Park is fully open to the public for guided and self-guided tours. It may not be draped in lilacs and lit aglow, but you can always play “Material Girl” in your headphones.

9. Holburne Museum of Art, Bath

Where our favorite wealthy widow passes her days.

Back in Bath, yet another historic-estate-turned-museum is a Bridgerton filming spot to visit in England. Fans will recognize Bath’s Holburne Museum of Art as Lady Danbury’s stony abode, particularly for early in Season 2, where Anthony tries to gift Edwina a horse. In real life, the museum houses an impressive collection of paintings, valuable books, and more. (Some Bridgerton tours end here so visitors can enjoy the collection.)

Insider tip: For Bridgerton fans who also love Sense and Sensibility (and its famous “gift horse” moment), a stop at the nearby Jane Austen Centre, also in Bath, is a must.

10. Wilton House, Wilton

A “Bridgerton” filming location with plenty of prior TV and film credits.

The Wilton House and grounds make a number of appearances on Bridgerton—indoors, shots include the year’s debutantes being presented to Queen Charlotte; outdoors, this is often where the ton promenades. (Hardcore fans will be able to place the Palladian Bridge.)

Wilton House, an English “country home” more than 400 years old, is open to the public come summer for guided and self-guided visits. In fact, TV and movie fans in general will likely love Wilton—beyond Bridgerton, its filming credits include The Crown, Tomb Raider, Outlander, and more.
