Bridgerton Filming Locations in England That You Can Actually Visit

After reveling in the ravishing romance and lush Regency-era fashions of Netflix’s smash hit Bridgerton, follow in the footsteps of Daphne and the Duke at some of the show’s main filming locations. Although Season 1 is technically set in 19th-century Mayfair, many scenes were actually filmed in UNESCO-recognized Bath, a city known for its beautifully preserved Georgian architecture. Here’s where to relive your favorite Bridgerton moments, from royal English estates to top London locations.

1. The Assembly Rooms

Bath, England.

While London’s polite society vies for a chance to size up the “marriage mart” at exclusive balls, modern-day visitors can score free entrance to the ballroom where Daphne and the Duke exchange waltz steps and charged glances—no ballgown required. The Assembly Rooms are among Bath’s most treasured historic venues, and the Ballroom and Tea Room (both featured in the show) are typically open to the public—just be sure to confirm opening hours in advance of your visit. Alternatively, many Bath walking tours include a stop at the Assembly Rooms, where you can also drool over real Regency formalwear fit for a duchess at the Fashion Museum Bath.

2. No. 1 Royal Crescent

Bath, England.

The first in a series of 30 townhouses that together form Bath’s most distinctive architectural feature, No. 1 Royal Crescent has housed several elite local families since its construction in 1767. In Bridgerton, it serves as home base for the social-climbing schemes of the Featheringtons. Although you won’t catch Penelope staring wistfully out the window, you can step inside the exquisitely preserved home—now a museum—to learn about the lifestyle of upper-crust England in the Georgian era.

Fun fact: The entire arc of the Royal Crescent also makes many Bridgerton appearances as a backdrop for horse and carriage rides.

3. Abbey Green

Bath, England.

This lovely square in Bath was used for several market scenes in Bridgerton, where polite greetings and sideways glances were exchanged as characters went about their daily shopping. It's also home to Abbey Deli, one of Bath’s most popular cafés, the storefront of which served as the Modiste. Fans can step inside to snack on tea and cake while recalling the socially charged dress fittings and dubious French accent of sought-after seamstress Madame Delacroix. As you might imagine, it’s also an essential stop on most Bridgerton walking tours of Bath.

4. Castle Howard

North Yorkshire, England.

This grand, 17th-century estate near York stands in for Clyvedon Castle, the Duke of Hastings’ ancestral home and many visitors are as wide-eyed as newlywed Daphne upon approaching the sprawling stronghold. On the castle grounds, fans will certainly recognize the Temple of the Four Winds, the setting for one of Bridgerton’s most memorable love scenes, while themed tours offer a peek inside Castle Howard’s richly furnished rooms that are fit for a queen. (No, literally—Queen Victoria and Prince Albert did drop in during the summer of 1850.)

If you’re visiting without a car, reach the castle on a private day trip from York or go all out and book a holiday cottage in the estate’s village of Coneysthorpe. You might recognize it as Clyvedon Village in Bridgerton, where Daphne commits a pig-related faux pas.

5. The Ranger's House

London, England

If you’re yearning to climb the steps of the Bridgerton family manor, plan a detour to the regal London borough of Greenwich, where a historic Georgian mansion now known as the Ranger’s House was used as the fictional family’s home. The romantic purple wisteria may have been mere set dressing, but this stately red-brick building—adorned with immaculate 18th-century period furnishings and an impressive private art collection—is always ready for an aristocratic reception. Greenwich itself makes an easy day trip from central London, and you can even get there by boat on a Thames sightseeing cruise.

6. Hampton Court Palace

London, England

The sprawling former home of King Henry VIII stands in for St. James’ Palace, where Queen Charlotte welcomes debutantes to her make-or-break royal reception in the first episode. Shrewd viewers will also recognize the rust-colored exterior and courtyard where London’s most eligible daughters pull up in carriages ready to attend the high-stakes event. Modern attendees, meanwhile, should swap a carriage for a bike and explore the massive palace grounds on a 2-wheeled tour.

Insider tip: Most of Queen Charlotte’s interior scenes were filmed at Lancaster House in London’s West End, a private neoclassical mansion also featured in Downton Abbey and The Crown.
