When Bridgerton first appeared on Netflix, it did more than tell a dramatic love story set in Regency-era England. The series opened a window into a world of grand townhouses, elegant streets, manicured gardens, and stately estates. Viewers across the world were instantly drawn to this romantic version of early 19th-century England, and many soon wanted to see it for themselves.
Since the show’s release, travel searches for historic English towns and estates have surged. The British rail- and bus-booking platform Trainline said that trips to Bridgerton-based destinations across England have increased by an average of 50% ahead of the third season, BBC reported.
From London’s leafy squares to quiet countryside estates, Bridgerton has quietly turned several filming locations into must-visit destinations.
Here are seven places where visitors can step into the world of Bridgerton, experience Regency-era charm, and see how real locations were transformed into the show’s most iconic settings.

London
London forms the backbone of Bridgerton’s visual world, with multiple locations across the city used to recreate Regency-era high society.
One of the most recognisable sites is Ranger’s House in Greenwich, which serves as the exterior of the Bridgerton family residence throughout the series. Its symmetrical Georgian façade appears repeatedly, establishing the family’s status and presence in London society.
Nearby, The Queen’s House in Greenwich is used for several formal exterior shots, standing in for royal and aristocratic settings. The clean classical lines of the building fit seamlessly into the show’s polished aesthetic.
Greenwich Park features prominently in promenade scenes, where characters walk, converse, and observe one another—an essential part of Regency social life. These moments often set the stage for gossip, matchmaking, and quiet tension.
Hampton Court Palace is another major filming location, used for grand palace scenes associated with Queen Charlotte. Its lavish interiors and formal gardens help establish the power and spectacle of the royal court.
At St James’s Church in Piccadilly, the series filmed church and society-related scenes that reflect the importance of public appearances and reputation. The church’s historic interiors closely match the period setting.
Other London-area locations include Kew Gardens and Kew Palace, which appear in outdoor scenes connected to the royal household, and King’s Observatory, used for select exterior shots.

Bath
Bath features prominently in Bridgerton and is used extensively as a stand-in for Regency-era London.
The Holburne Museum appears as the exterior of Lady Danbury’s home, with several scenes filmed at its entrance and gardens. The building’s real-life connection to high society makes it a natural fit for the character. Inside, visitors can find period objects linked to Queen Charlotte’s era, mirroring the royal world seen in the series.
The Royal Crescent is one of Bath’s most recognisable filming locations and serves as the Featherington family residence. Its distinctive curved row of Georgian townhouses is featured in multiple exterior shots throughout the series.
Bath’s historic streets are used for walking and carriage scenes, capturing everyday moments of Regency social life. Fans can follow these locations on Bridgerton-themed walking tours, which trace how the city was transformed into on-screen London.
For off-screen but closely themed experiences, The Pump Room Restaurant, The Abbey Hotel Tea Bar, and Roseate Villa Bath reflect the social rituals shown in the series and are popular stops for afternoon tea inspired by Bridgerton. The Abbey Deli holds a direct screen connection, having been used as Madame Delacroix’s Modiste, the dress shop that plays a key role across the series.

Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire appears in Bridgerton through a mix of aristocratic and royal settings, particularly in later seasons.
Kingston Bagpuize House & Gardens is a filming location introduced in season three of Bridgerton. The estate is used for scenes set within elite country society, with its interiors and grounds adapted to reflect the private world of the ton beyond London. Its period architecture allows it to blend naturally into the series’ Regency setting.
The county is also home to Blenheim Palace, which plays a far more prominent role in the show. This UNESCO World Heritage Site stands in for Buckingham House, the on-screen residence of Queen Charlotte and King George III. Several scenes connected to royal life are filmed here, using the palace’s grand façades and formal spaces to establish the authority and scale of the monarchy within the series.

Chatham
Chatham is used in Bridgerton to portray some of the darker, less polished corners of Regency London.
The town’s cobblestone streets appear in season one during the scene where Lady Featherington walks with Marina while visiting the slums. These outdoor shots contrast sharply with the elegance of the ton and highlight the social realities that exist beyond high society.
The Historic Dockyard Chatham is used as the setting for the boxing saloon in season one. It is here that Simon, the Duke of Hastings, trains, and spars with Will Mondrich, practicing his boxing skills. The location is closely tied to Mondrich’s storyline, whose character draws inspiration from Bill Richmond, a real-life Black boxer from Regency-era England.

York
York reflects one of the most important emotional arcs in Bridgerton through Castle Howard and its surrounding gardens.
In the series, Castle Howard appears as Clyvedon Castle, the country estate where Simon Basset and Daphne Bridgerton spend their honeymoon. Several key scenes between the newly married couple are filmed across the house and its grounds, marking a turning point in their relationship.
The estate’s formal gardens, lakes, and expansive landscapes are used to convey both romance and isolation, reflecting the couple’s evolving dynamic during this period of the story. These scenes firmly connect Castle Howard to some of the most memorable moments from the first season of Bridgerton.

Buckinghamshire
Buckinghamshire enters the Bridgerton world through Claydon House, which was used as a filming location for season three. Members of the cast were spotted shooting scenes at the 18th-century country house, confirming its role in the latest chapter of the series.
While the exact scenes filmed at Claydon House have not yet been revealed, the estate’s period interiors and long history as an aristocratic home make it a natural fit for Bridgerton’s portrayal of elite society. On screen, it contributes to the expanding world beyond London, where much of the season three storyline unfolds.

Surrey
Surrey, located just south-west of London, features in Bridgerton through Painshill Park, a landscaped estate used in season one of the series. The park is the setting for the Featherington family picnic, one of the outdoor social scenes that highlights family dynamics and public display within the ton.
Designed by Charles Hamilton, the estate’s sweeping lawns, lake, and classical design provide a natural backdrop that fits the Regency world portrayed in the show. Its carefully composed landscape mirrors the charm of the 1800s with modern-day appeal that defines many of Bridgerton’s social moments.
Its grottos, lake, and sweeping views provide the scenic backdrop seen on screen. Visitors can also enjoy Painshill’s sparkling wine and winter gin, adding a contemporary experience to a location immortalised by the series.
