The Netflix series has been seen by more than 200 million people worldwide. Putting a spotlight on some gorgeous Bridgerton locations in Bristol, Bath, North Somerset, South West and England.
The period drama follows wealthy socialites in London in 1813. It is narrated by living legend Julie Andrews and has a stellar ensemble. Bridgerton has everything you want from a scandalous, steamy period drama. It has also been recognised for its diverse cast, colourful costumes, and classical covers of modern pop songs.
One key location for filming the iconic ballroom scenes was Leigh Court in Bristol, which is a beautiful place. The Grade II listed building is a prestigious wedding venue. On-screen, we see The Princes Ballroom, Ingenue Ballroom, and Crawford Ballroom.
One of the biggest suspects for the mysterious Lady Whistledown in series one is Lady Danbury. The esteemed, sharp-tongued Dowager is played by Clifton born actress Adjoa Andoh. The star also attended Bristol Polytechnic studying law before gracing our screens as Collette Griffiths in Casualty and Martha's mother in Doctor Who.
Other famous movie faces from Bristol include Cary Grant, Hugo Weaving, Jeremy Irons and David Prowse, who played Darth Vader.
Where is Bridgerton located? Although the drama is set in the capital, the Georgian streets of Bath were used to double up as London. Royal Crescent was used as the filming location of the Featherington's house. Other roads in Bath, including Beauford Square, Abbey Green, and Bath Street, are shown. You could even book one of the walking tours.
You can travel from Bristol to Bath in about 40 minutes.
Bridgerton is not the only filming location in Bristol. Our city has been recognised as a featured location and awarded UNESCO City of Film status. This is because Bristol is a hotbed of production for major TV programmes and films.
Bristol has been chosen as a filming location for Only Fools and Horses, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Mistresses, Skins, Poldark, Wolf Hall, The White Princess, His Dark Materials, and The Outlaws throughout the years.
Films include The Other Boleyn Girl, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Stan and Ollie, The Adventurer: Curse of the Midas Box, The Inbetweeners 2 and The Duchess.
Filming locations that you can visit include Bristol Harbourside, National Trust’s Tyntesfield, Blaise Castle, Berkely Castle, Clifton Suspension Bridge, St Nicholas Market, M Shed, Bristol Hippodrome and The Bristol Old Vic Theatre.
