Where is ‘Bridgerton’ filmed? The real life locations

Fans of racy romance, period finery and good gossip have been kept waiting long enough: Bridgerton Season 3 arrives this month, and with it a new set of loves, rivalries and intrigue from the imaginations of author Julia Quinn and TV supremo Shonda Rhimes.

This time, after Daphne and Anthony have had their turn, it’s time for the spotlight to fall on younger brother Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and the delightful Penelope Featherington (Nichola Coughlan). But never mind the cast – what about the locations? Well, as ever, Netflix’s premier hit has scoured the UK for the finest settings to add to its already world-beating stock of stately homes. From mansion to manor house, castle to palace, every one is of the highest pedigree, whether familiar or all fresh for Season 3.

Where is the Bridgerton house located?

The Bridgerton family home, draped in wisteria, is meant to be in Grosvenor Square, a smart corner of Mayfair, London. Filming actually took place across town in Greenwich, south-east London, at Georgian villa Ranger’s House on the edge of Greenwich Park, which these days is home to The Wernher Collection, a collection of more than 700 pieces of art. (You can visit when filming isn’t taking place – but you need to book ahead.) For the interior, filming also takes place at Halton House near Aylesbury, a 19th-century building in the chateau style that now houses RAF Halton and was used in The Crown as the French home of the abdicated King Edward VIII.

Is Bridgerton filmed in a real castle?

Bridgerton is filmed in lots of real locations, most of them stately homes, including palaces and castles. Although it’s not the home of the Bridgerton family, one castle used in the filming is Castle Howard in Yorkshire. This magnificent 18th-century pile starred in both the 1981 TV series and 2008 film Brideshead Revisited, and in Bridgerton, was used in Season 1 as Clyvedon Castle, home of the Duke of Hastings.
