Bridgerton Returns—Here’s Your Guide to Visiting Filming Locations

The latest season of Bridgerton has arrived! This enchanting romance series revolves around the eight fictional siblings of the affluent Bridgerton family. Set against the backdrop of a fictional 19th-century London, the show delves into their challenges, scandals, and the quest for love amidst the fierce gossip of the Lady Whistledown papers—an intriguing newsletter detailing the escapades of London’s elite. As the Bridgertons remain unaware of Lady Whistledown’s true identity, viewers are captivated by the tension of her secretive existence and her role in high society, voiced by the iconic Julie Andrews.

The highly anticipated third season of this Netflix sensation will be released in two segments. The first four episodes will premiere on May 16, followed by the second part on June 13. Bridgerton enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the long-anticipated friends-to-lovers storyline between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), along with other romantic entanglements and rivalries expected to unfold this season.

Since its debut in 2020, Bridgerton has captivated audiences with its stunning debutante balls set in breathtaking locales throughout the British countryside. If the release of this season makes you long to stroll through English gardens and envision yourself in grand palaces, we’ve got you covered.

Much of Bridgerton was filmed across England, predominantly in London, Bath, and Cobham. The following seven real-life filming locations will transport you to the charming scenes of the British Regency era as envisioned in Shonda Rhimes’s hit series. From lavish ballrooms to scenic parks, we have all the details on how to visit these stunning Bridgerton destinations.

1. Exterior of the Bridgerton Family Home

The Bridgerton family residence serves as the heart of the series’ drama. Nestled in Mayfair, this charming house is where the Bridgertons navigate the latest scandals of the Ton (the elite of Regency-era British society), entertain potential suitors over tea, and share their innermost thoughts away from Lady Whistledown's watchful gaze.

In reality, the Georgian villa used for the Bridgerton home is called Ranger’s House. Located in the Greenwich area of London, it sits between Greenwich Park and Blackheath. Constructed in 1723 by a naval vice-admiral, the villa boasts elegant red-brick walls. While the romantic wisteria seen in Bridgerton was added for filming, visitors can enjoy various views of the property as its grounds and interiors are open to the public. While there, you can explore the Wernher Collection, showcasing medieval sculptures, exquisite jewelry, French tapestries, and Renaissance masterpieces, including Madonna of the Pomegranate from Sandro Botticelli’s workshop.

A must-visit for any Bridgerton enthusiast, this house features prominently throughout the series and will likely remain crucial until the finale. You’ll recognize it from memorable moments, such as the family’s heartfelt farewell in season one to newlyweds Simon Basset (Regé Jean Page) and Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), during which Colin Bridgerton shares his plans for a grand adventure with Penelope Featherington.

2. Exterior of Featherington House

Penelope Featherington stands out as a pivotal character in the Bridgerton narrative, and without giving too much away, she is also one of the most complex. Known for stirring up drama wherever she goes, Penelope leaves her mark with her keenly sharpened quill.

Key moments in the series have unfolded outside the Featherington residence, including the introduction of Marina Thompson (Ruby Barker) in season one and the unveiling of the first Lady Whistledown papers in season two. With Penelope stepping into the role of romantic lead in season three, this location is set to gain even more significance.

The exterior shots of Featherington House are filmed at the Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa, situated in the historic city of Bath. Here, you can enjoy a luxurious stay at the Featherington residence, while soaking in the beauty of the hotel’s Georgian architecture. Don your finest Bridgerton attire and stroll through the one-acre garden, which boasts an array of flora, including vibrant lavender and three hedgehogs rescued by the nearby Bath Vets.

3. Exterior of Buckingham House

If you’re a devoted fan of Bridgerton, you’ve probably recognized Blenheim Palace—it serves as a stand-in for Buckingham House, the shared residence of King George III (Cory Mylchreest) and Queen Charlotte (India Amarteifio) in the Bridgerton spin-off, Queen Charlotte. This location will make a return in season three.

This palace is a UNESCO World Heritage site, featuring extensive seven-acre grounds that include Sir Winston Churchill’s birthplace, a charming Walled Garden, the sprawling Marlborough Maze, and a miniature train that offers tours of the estate.

You can also join Blenheim’s “Lights, Camera, Action! Trail,” a guided tour showcasing filming locations from various productions, including Queen Charlotte, Bridgerton season three, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and James Bond: Spectre.

4. Interior of The Queen’s House

If you aspire to feel like a Diamond of the First Water, just like Daphne in season one or Edwina (Charithra Chandran) in season two, look no further than Wilton House, where Queen Charlotte selects her star debutantes each season. This iconic location appears in several episodes across the Bridgerton universe, notably in the season one opening scene showcasing the Queen’s selection of debutantes, marking Daphne’s grand entrance.

Within this Palladian-style residence, you’ll discover filming sites for many rooms in Queen Charlotte’s Buckingham House, various interior scenes from the Duke of Hastings’ Clyvedon Castle, and the chambers of Lady Danbury’s home.

The estate is owned by the Earl and Countess of Pembroke, who have graciously opened their grounds for public visits. Spanning approximately 21 acres of beautifully landscaped parkland, be sure to prepare for a lovely day out.

5. The First Garden Party of Season 3

Located in Sevenoaks, southern England, Squerryes Court hosts the garden party depicted in the first episode of season three. If you’re keen on exploring the site where gossip disrupts the Ton, this is a must-visit destination.

At Squerryes Court, you can tour the historic estate and experience the grandeur (and intrigue) of 18th-century England. For those seeking a touch of Bridgerton-inspired luxury, enjoy a wine tasting at the estate’s 36-acre vineyard, known for producing some of the finest sparkling wine in the world. In 2020, Squerryes Court earned gold at the Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championship.

6. Primrose Hill

Dedicated Bridgerton fans will recognize this park from various memorable scenes. In season one, Daphne and Simon stroll here while pretending to date, drawing the attention of the entire Ton. Their famous conversation on the stone bridge occurs at Painshill Park’s Five Arch Bridge, which also hosted the Featherington family picnic in the same season.

In an interview with Country & Town House, Tony Hood, the locations manager for Bridgerton season three, revealed that the park will return in season three, featuring a new character, Lord Hawkins, who makes a comically disastrous attempt to ascend in a hot air balloon.

Visitors to the park can explore its expansive grounds, step back in time at the renowned Crystal Grotto—a cave adorned with stunning stalactites and coral pools—and indulge in playful imaginings at the charming Gothic Temple, which offers some of the park's finest views.

7. The Grand Outdoor Ball of Season 3

The largest ball of season three was filmed at Osterley Park & House, located in the London borough of Hounslow. The expansive outdoor garden boasts a stunning quadrangle at its center, giving the Bridgerton cast and crew ample space for the celebration. Hood mentioned that sparks (and drama) are sure to ignite between Colin and Penelope in this enchanting setting.

While at Osterley Park & House, don’t miss its six-acre garden, filled with a variety of roses, herb borders, and decorative plants. You can also explore the Osterley house, often referred to as the “Palace of all Palaces” by the National Trust. Inside, you’ll find the remarkable interior designed by 18th-century Scottish architect Robert Adam—one of his most complete works. To capture the authentic Bridgerton atmosphere, plan your visit just before closing, as the scene filmed here was shot in the late afternoon.
