Welcome back, dearest gentle reader. Have you already binged the first four episodes of season 3 of Bridgerton and are as enamored by the show, the style, the romance, the stunning locations as we are? Well, you can step into the world of “The Ton” and experience the romance, intrigue, and opulence firsthand during your trip to the UK. While the characters, wardrobes, and other set designs truly make the show come alive, we have to say that these actual locations will make you feel as if you’re there already. With everything from grand estates to charming streets and squares, these real-life settings will transport you to the Regency era of London society.
Wilton House, Wiltshire, England
This breathtaking estate serves as the primary filming location for Queen Charlotte’s throne room. Viewers might also recognize Wilton House as the residence of the powerful and ever-influential Lady Danbury. And, perhaps most recognizable, the exterior serves as the Duke of Hastings’ London home! Many of these rooms are open to the public for viewing, and it’s definitely worth a visit.
Ranger’s House, Greenwich, London, England
This elegant Georgian villa served as the exterior for the Bridgerton family’s stunning Mayfair residence, where all eight siblings grow up, squabble, and eventually enter society. While not located in Mayfair like the show, Ranger’s House does exude the same charm in real life as it does on screen.
Beyond its TV fame, Ranger’s House has a rich history and a stunning art collection. Explore the elegant rooms or wander the gardens. Be sure to check their website for opening times and any special events before your visit.
