Holburne Museum, Bath
No Bridgerton tour of England is complete without stopping by Ranger’s House in London, a stunning Georgian villa at Greenwich Park’s edge. The heritage property acts as the exterior for the Bridgerton family home, which you’ll recognize from many scenes of the family greeting guests or heading out in a carriage.
You can admire the Wernher Collection — a world-class, private art collection with more than 700 pieces — in the Ranger’s House.
Basildon Park, Reading
Season two of Bridgerton went out with a bang at the Featheringtons’ ball, filmed at Basildon Park. The estate’s Garden Room and parterre were featured in party scenes as the season ended, appearing as the back of the Featherington home. As fireworks erupt, this is the spot where Anthony and Kate finally express their love for each other, as well as when Penelope overhears Colin dismissing the idea of ever being romantically involved with her. Quite the setup for season three, where this filming location will play a more significant role. The interior of Basildon Park will be the home of a new character this season, Lady Tilley Arnold.
This 18th-century house at Basildon Park sits on 400 acres of land, and you can visit the restored building, explore the formal gardens and dine in the main tearoom.

The gardens and state rooms of Wilton House are used as sets for various locations in the Bridgerton universe, so they appear in many episodes and will be returning in the third season. Interior rooms are featured in Queen Charlotte’s palace, including her throne room (where debutants are presented) and bedroom, Lady Danbury’s library, and the dining room in season one’s Clevedon Castle. The estate’s exterior is the facade of The Duke of Hasting’s house in season one. You’ll also spot the estate in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story as St. James’ Palace and the Untere Schloss in Germany (where Charlotte was born).
The Earl and Countess of Pembroke live in Wilton House, with a section of the house and grounds open to the public, including a café to enjoy.
Hampton Court Palace, Molesey
Hampton Court Palace often pops up in the Bridgerton series in key scenes and supplementary shots. The palace’s Fountain Court appears in multiple scenes with Queen Charlotte, such as when she enjoys outdoor tea under a tented awning. Privy Garden also serves as an exterior of the Queen’s Palace, and the wedding of Anthony Bridgerton and Edwina Sharma was filmed there. Master Carpenter’s Court was transformed into the show’s London’s Chancery Lane, where Lady Whistledown’s papers are printed. This popular filming spot will host a fabulous ball in season three
Once the home of the infamous King Henry VIII, visitors can now explore galleries, participate in events, join guided tours, marvel at state apartments and more at Hampton Court Palace.
Painshill Park, Cobham
The Bridgerton families of the ton spend a lot of time promenading, picnicking, and gossiping at Painshill Park. Considered an example of a fine English garden, visiting here will feel like stepping into a painting. Fans of the show first saw the garden backdrop in season one during the Featheringtons’ picnic and the scene when Daphne and Simon speak on the arched bridge. Lord Hawkins, a new season three character, will bring hot air balloons to the park, and viewers get to see Colin be a hero; how exciting.
Discover a ruined abbey, gothic tower, crystal grotto, tearoom and much more in Painshill Park. It is a ticketed garden with set opening times each season.
Old Royal Naval College, London
Setting the stage for the bustling streets of London society, you can spot Greenwich’s Old Royal Naval College in the first two seasons of Bridgerton and again in season three. The heritage site is the set for the Mayfair market and many exterior street scenes. You’ll recognize it when the paper carriers hand out issues of Lady Whistledown, too.
Housing various exhibitions and events, visit this landmark’s Painted Hall, Britain’s equivalent of the Sistine Chapel.
