Few period dramas in recent years have captured the imagination quite like Bridgerton. Based on Julia Quinn’s bestselling novels, the Netflix series follows the lives, romances and rivalries of the Bridgerton family as they navigate the glittering world of Regency London society.

But while the story is set in the capital, many of its most iconic scenes were filmed elsewhere—particularly in and around the Cotswolds. With Bath and Oxford firmly on most visitors’ wish lists, it’s no surprise these elegant locations feature heavily in the show.

If you’re planning a visit, here are the Bridgerton filming locations you can experience for yourself.

Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire

Bridgerton & Queen Charlotte

Just on the edge of the Cotswolds, Blenheim Palace is one of the most recognisable filming locations in the series. Standing in for royal residences—most notably Buckingham House in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story—this vast country estate provides some of the show’s most opulent backdrops.

Key filming locations within the palace include:

  • The Water Terraces

  • The Long Library

  • The Great Hall and Saloon

  • The Great Court

With its honey-coloured stone and sweeping baroque architecture, Blenheim delivers the grandeur expected of Regency high society. It’s no stranger to the screen either, with appearances in Harry Potter, The Crown and Mission Impossible.

Badminton House, Gloucestershire

A hidden gem in the Cotswolds

Tucked away in the Gloucestershire countryside, Badminton House plays a surprisingly large role across multiple seasons.

The interiors have been used for:

  • The Duke of Hastings’ residence

  • Lady Danbury’s home

  • The Foundling Hospital

  • Various aristocratic estates

Notably, while the exterior of the Duke and Daphne’s home is Castle Howard in Yorkshire, the interiors you see on screen are filmed here.

Unlike many locations, Badminton House remains a private residence of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort. Visitors can only access the gardens on limited open days, adding to its sense of exclusivity.

Bath: The Heart of Bridgerton’s London

While London is the setting, Bath is the true star of Bridgerton. Its remarkably preserved Georgian architecture makes it the perfect stand-in for Regency-era London.

Abbey Green & The Modiste Dress Shop

The charming cobbled square of Abbey Green appears frequently in the early series. It’s here you’ll find the Modiste dress shop, where the ton commission their elaborate gowns.

The area is also cleverly transformed into Covent Garden in several scenes.

Royal Crescent

One of Bath’s most iconic landmarks, the sweeping curve of the Royal Crescent is instantly recognisable.

  • No.1 Royal Crescent serves as the Featherington family home

  • Its grand façade perfectly captures the flamboyance of the family

It’s easy to see why this location became synonymous with the show’s colourful high society.

The Assembly Rooms & Guildhall

Lavish balls are central to Bridgerton, and Bath provides the perfect setting.

The Assembly Rooms and Guildhall host many of the show’s most memorable dance scenes, bringing the glamour and social intrigue of the Regency era to life.

The Holburne Museum

This elegant Grade I listed building doubles as Lady Danbury’s home.

Originally built as a hotel, it now houses a collection of fine and decorative art—but fans will recognise its exterior as the setting for many key moments in the series.

The Streets of Bath

Much of Bridgerton’s atmosphere comes from its streets, and Bath delivers in abundance.

Look out for scenes filmed in:

  • Bath Street

  • Edward Street

  • Beaufort Square

  • Trim Street

The honey-coloured stone, sweeping terraces and cobbled streets create a convincing illusion of Regency London.

A Walking Tour Worth Taking

One of the joys of visiting these locations is how easily they connect. In Bath especially, you can walk between many of the filming spots in a single afternoon—making it feel as though you’ve stepped directly into the world of Bridgerton.

Pair it with afternoon tea, a stroll through the crescents, or a visit to one of the city’s many independent cafés, and you have the perfect Regency-inspired day out.

Bringing the Regency Era to Life

What makes Bridgerton so visually compelling is its seamless use of real locations. From the grandeur of Blenheim Palace to the intimate streets of Bath, these places don’t just provide a backdrop—they bring the story to life.

For visitors to the Cotswolds and its surroundings, they offer something even more special: the chance to experience the elegance, drama and romance of the Regency era first-hand.

For those inspired to explore further, the Cotswolds and its surroundings have long been a favourite for filmmakers.

Together with Bridgerton, these stories reveal a region that continues to bring Britain’s most beloved screen worlds to life—inviting you to experience them not just on screen, but in person.
