Dearest Gentle Reader,
I bring glad tidings. Further tales of Bridgerton are forthcoming. Yet not until the year 2026.
Until such time, you may explore the delightful residences of the Featherington and Bridgerton families and Her Majesty, Queen Charlotte.
Yours truly,
Lady Whistledown

The Netflix period drama, Bridgerton caused quite a stir when it first dropped. It wasn’t like any period drama we’d seen before. The likes of Downton Abbey and The Crown seemed staid in comparison. And we watched it in our millions.
The Bridgerton TV drama is based on the best-selling novels by Julia Quinn. The stories follow the Bridgerton family as their eight siblings (Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, Hyacinth and their mother Violet) navigate Regency-era London’s competitive high-society marriage market. It’s rife with romance, lust, friendship and a good dose of gossip.
We’re now three seasons in (along with Queen Charlotte:A Bridgerton Story, the prequel spin-off season). Season four’s scheduled for 2026 with two further seasons commissioned after that.
Until Lady Whistledown has new tales to tell, you’ll have to make do with real life. If you fancy treading in the footsteps of Daphne, Eloise, Anthony, Colin and the rest of the Bridgerton family and their friends, you can visit many Bridgerton locations around England.
Whilst the Bridgerton story is largely set in Mayfair, the real-life locations aren’t. Take the Bridgerton family’s grand, wisteria-clad home for example. Instead of a Mayfair location, it’s actually a stately home on the edge of Greenwich Park.
The main location for Queen Charlotte’s residence is in Oxfordshire, whilst the Featherington family home is in beautiful Bath. In fact, Bath is used as a location for a variety of internal and external filming. So you can wander around the city, admiring the Regency era architecture and picture places in their Bridgerton incarnations.
Below, we go into detail of the real-life locations used, both in London and elsewhere in the UK. Many of them are English Heritage or National Trust sites that are open to the public.

The series location manager had the interesting, yet demanding job of finding suitable buildings and landscapes that could masquerade as 19th-century Regency London. Several of these grand homes can actually be found around London, whilst others are elsewhere in the UK.
Ranger’s House, Greenwich: The exterior of the English Heritage mansion, Ranger’s House, is used as the Bridgerton family home in London. Built in 1723, it’s an impressive Georgian villa on the boundary of Greenwich Park and Blackheath.
The area around the Old Naval College in Greenwich was also used for London street scenes.
Osterley Park and House, Isleworth: Over in West London, this National Trust country estate is resplendent with Georgian architecture and manicured gardens. It made the ideal setting for the grand outdoor Full Moon Ball scenes in Bridgerton season three.
“It’s a beautiful building,’ says Tony Hood, Bridgerton’s Location Manager. ‘It worked very well for the ball sequence which had to be spectacular.”
Lancaster House, Westminster: This mansion on The Mall was used to create Queen Charlotte’s regal world. Many of the interior scenes were filmed here – her parlour, drawing room, music room and jewellery room.
Hampton Court Palace, Richmond: The former London home of King Henry VIII was a befitting filming location for Queen Charlotte’s palace. It was also the place used for various iconic scenes including Anthony and Edwina’s wedding reception; the queen’s court; Benedict’s art academy; and the Chancery Lane Printing Press exterior.
By the way, Hampton Court Palace is well worth a tube or train ride out west. It’s a magnificent estate to explore and drink in the centuries of history.
Syon Park, Brentford: The striking great glass roof of Syon House’s Great Conservatory adds to the elevated glamour and style of Lady Danbury’s Ball in season two.
Various stately homes and country estates around England have taken on Bridgerton characters over the seasons. Regency-era Bath has featured as multiple residences and backdrops. It’s a wonderful city to visit for its centuries of history and exquisite architecture. But locations from Somerset in the south to Yorkshire in the north have played their part as beautiful Bridgerton filming locations.
Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire: This UNESCO World Heritage site boasts a magnificent palatial house and parklands. It was the ideal choice for Queen Charlotte’s residence, Buckingham House.
Hatfield House, Hertfordshire: This Jacobean country house is a favourite of period drama location managers. In Bridgerton, it doubled as both the Featherington house and the interior of the Bridgerton family home in London.
Halton House, Buckinghamshire: Another location for Bridgerton House, Halton House was used for interior scenes of the foyer.
No 1 Royal Crescent, Bath: These iconic Georgian style Grade I listed buildings comprise 30 terraced townhouses on the edges of Victoria Park. The Palladian architecture worked exquisitely as the exterior for the Featherington house, the Mayfair home of the Featherington family. No.1 Royal Crescent is actually a museum that you can visit. It’s furnished and decorated as it would have been in the late 18th century.
The Assembly Rooms, Bath: Also in Bath, the real-life Tea Room and Ball Room of the Assembly Rooms are perfect backdrops for the lavish ball scenes where the characters dance together whilst The Ton watches on.
Holburne Museum of Art, Bath: The impressive art gallery and museum is used for the exterior of Lady Danbury’s opulent abode.
Abbey Green, Bath: The 17th century cobbled streets behind the Roman Baths were built to form a walled courtyard for Bath Abbey. Today, you’ll find The Abbey Deli which transformed into the Modiste dress shop in the first two seasons of Bridgerton.
Wilton House, Somerset: Elsewhere in Somerset, Wilton House was used as St James’s Palace in the Queen Charlotte season, as well as Bridgerton.
Castle Howard, York, North Yorkshire: Period drama fans may recognise this baroque stately home from Brideshead Revisited. But in Bridgerton, it features as the fictitious Clyvedon Castle, the Duke of Hastings’ house. It’s where Daphne and Simon begin married life. Its Garden Room features as the marital bedroom. The Turquoise Room, Antique Passage, and Long Gallery are also used for interior scenes.
Basildon Park, Berkshire: Basildon Park’s a majestic Palladian country house that dates back to 1771. It features in Bridgerton as Lady Tilley Arnold’s residence.
Wrotham Park, Hertfordshire: Aubrey Hall, the Bridgerton family’s country home and ancestral seat, is a prominent location in season two. Wrotham Park served as the main estate for Aubrey Hall.
Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire: The Grade I listed home boasts sprawling parklands and rare artefacts. It’s other claim to fame is playing home to the eccentric Lord Hawkins in Bridgerton season three.
Windsor Great Park, Berkshire: Royal Windsor seems a fitting location for the likes of the Bridgertons. It’s here that the memorable hunting scene takes place when Kate and Anthony ride horseback in the rain.
Painshill Park, Surrey: The meticulously-kept grounds of 18th-century Painshill Park played the part of Primrose Hill.
Petworth House, Sussex: Known for its magnificent art collection, the National Trust property of Petworth was actually used as an art gallery. Look out for it in season two, when characters including Edwina and Violet stroll through Petworth.
