The Netflix series has been seen by more than 90 million people worldwide. Putting a spotlight on some gorgeous Bridgerton locations in Bristol, Bath, 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. But, has been recognised for its diverse cast, colourful costumes and classical covers of modern pop songs.

Where was Bridgerton filmed in Bristol?

One key location for filming the iconic ballroom scenes was Leigh Court in Bristol. The Grade II listed building is a prestigious wedding venue. On-screen, we see The Princes Ballroom, Ingenue Ballroom and the Crawford Ballroom.

One of the biggest suspects for the mysterious Lady Whistledown 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.

Bridgerton filming in Bath

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 home. Other roads in Bath, including Beauford Square, Abbey Green, and Bath Street, are shown.

You can travel from Bristol to Bath in about 40-minutes.
