Museums and Filming Locations in the Bridgerton Series

Jimena Escoto 22 July 2024 min Read

Bridgerton premiered on Netflix in December 2019, breaking viewership records. The show set in Regency London was filmed at various locations across England. Many of these locations were once extraordinary castles and luxurious residences for the aristocracy. Today, they serve as museums and event venues. Here is a selection of them that will bring the Bridgerton world to life.

Double Cube Room in Wilton House—Debutantes’ Presentation Hall

Each Bridgerton season begins with the debutantes’ presentation to Queen Charlotte. This event was filmed in the Double Cube Room of Wilton House in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Its most iconic feature is Anthony van Dyck’s 1635 portrait of Philip Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, and his family.

Wilton House is a popular location for period dramas, including the 2020 adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma. Other parts of the property appear as the filming sites of Queen Charlotte’s rooms.

Ranger’s House—Bridgerton London House

Bridgerton locations: John James, Ranger’s House, 1723, London, UK. English Heritage.

Ranger’s House serves as the facade of the Bridgerton family house in London. This 18th-century villa, located near Greenwich Park in the south of the city, is adorned with wisteria and ivy to capture the Bridgerton aesthetic. Post-production edits transform the house’s surroundings to resemble Grosvenor Square, Mayfair. While the house itself is an art museum holding the Wernher Collection, interior scenes are filmed at other locations and on sets.

Holburne Museum of Art—Lady Danbury’s London Home

Bath is a major source of locations for the Bridgerton series. For instance, the production employs the Holburne Museum of Art for various scenes. The site became the front of Lady Danbury’s London home and is later where Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton reunite in season 3.

Lancaster House—Royal Palace

Bridgerton locations: Main Hall in Lancaster House, 1825-1840, London, UK. Moving Venue.

Season 2, episode 6 features Lancaster House as the main set for the aftermath of Anthony and Edwina’s failed wedding. Fans of the show may recognize the staircases where Kate Sharma spots Anthony Bridgerton and his family rushing after Edwina ran from the altar.

Interestingly, this building did not exist in Regency times. Additionally, other rooms in the house have been used for scenes revolving around Queen Charlotte.

Wrotham Park—Aubrey Hall

Bridgerton locations: Isaac Warem, Wrotham Park, 1754, South Mimms, UK. House of Party Planning.

In season 2, the show took viewers to the impressive ancestral home of the Bridgerton family, Aubrey Hall. Although the books tell us that the estate is in Kent, Wrotham Park is a Palladian mansion in Hertfordshire.

The architect Isaac Ware designed it in 1754. Like Ranger’s House, the set production team added flowers to the house’s facade to give it a bit of Bridgerton air. Here, the cast recreated the famous Pall Mall scene from the books.

North Gallery at Petworth House, West Sussex—Art Gallery

Lastly, in season 2, episode 7, the North Gallery at Petworth House in West Sussex appeared as an art gallery. This residence’s outstanding art collection was perfect for the scene where the Bridgertons and Sharmas tried to restore their reputation among the ton. Although the estate dates back to the 17th century, this art gallery is from the 19th century.

These are just a few locations used throughout England. Many of them are used multiple times, sometimes for scenes unrelated to one another. Talented set designers and editors make all these pieces coherent in the Bridgerton world.
