Bridgerton is set in Regency London, but a lot of that London is Bath. The Featheringtons' front door, the dress shop, the tea room and the ball scenes were filmed in the Georgian city, while London itself fills in with Greenwich, Hampton Court and a studio backlot. Add a few country houses in Yorkshire, Wiltshire and Hertfordshire and you have a route you can do from the UK without a passport.

This guide covers the locations that are worth planning around, what you can actually go inside, what to book in advance and what it costs where we found a price. Opening times and prices change, and several of the sources below are from earlier seasons, so check each official website before you go.

The short version

  • Best for a weekend: Bath. Most of the show's best-known street and ball scenes are within a 20 minute walk of each other.
  • Best for a day out from London: Ranger's House in Greenwich and Hampton Court Palace.
  • Best country house: Castle Howard in Yorkshire, which played the exterior of Clyvedon Castle, the Duke of Hastings' home.
  • Book ahead: the Bath walking tour, No. 1 Royal Crescent and any country house in winter.
  • Know before you go: the Bath Assembly Rooms are closed for redevelopment, and Castle Howard's house closes for a short period in November.

Getting to Bath from the UK

There are no direct trains from Manchester to Bath. Trainline lists journeys with at least two changes, a fastest time of about 3 hours 49 minutes and an average closer to 5 hours 26 minutes. When we looked, the cheapest advance single it showed was £116.80, so book early, travel off peak or compare it with driving. If you drive, parking in the centre of Bath is limited and expensive, and a park and ride is usually easier. If you are collecting a hire car, you can compare prices on DiscoverCars.

From London, Bath is a more straightforward day or weekend trip, and trains from London Paddington run regularly.

Bath: where Bridgerton lives

Bath is the heart of the show. Here is a route that links the main locations in a sensible order. Allow a full day, or a relaxed weekend if you want to go inside the museums.

Abbey Green and the Modiste

Abbey Green, behind the Roman Baths, stands in for the street outside Madame Delacroix's dress shop, the Modiste. The shop front is the Abbey Deli, which is a working café, so you can go in for a coffee, although there are no ball gowns inside. One guide suggests going before 10am to photograph the exterior without a crowd. It is a short walk from Bath Spa station.

Beauford Square and Trim Street

Beauford Square appears in street scenes and is free to see. Gunter's Tea Shop was filmed on Trim Street, but in real life the address is now a hair salon, so this is one for the photograph rather than the tea.

Bath Street

Bath Street is an elegant colonnaded street that featured in the first trailer. Cross Bath and Thermae Bath Spa are at the bottom of it. If you want to bathe, book well in advance.

The Holburne Museum

The Holburne Museum on Great Pulteney Street stands in for Lady Danbury's London house. The interiors were filmed elsewhere, so this is mainly an exterior to see. The museum is free to enter for its permanent collection, although some temporary exhibitions are charged. Hours quoted by different sources vary slightly, so check them before you go. Sydney Gardens behind it are free.

The Royal Crescent and No. 1 Royal Crescent

The Royal Crescent stands in for Grosvenor Square and appears in carriage and promenade scenes. It was built between 1767 and 1775 and is free to see from the lawn, and it is best early in the morning or in the evening when it is quieter.

No. 1 Royal Crescent is the exterior of the Featherington family home. Inside is a museum furnished as it would have been in the Georgian period. The most recent adult price we found was £16.00 for the 2025 season (£14.50 concessions), with tickets bookable online and valid for 12 months. That page showed 2025 opening times, with the museum closed on Mondays outside school holidays and closed for a short period in November while it prepares for Christmas, so check the 2026 dates before you plan around it.

The Assembly Rooms and the Guildhall

The Assembly Rooms were used for the tea room and ballroom scenes. One recent guide says they are closed for National Trust redevelopment and expected to reopen in 2027. Check the National Trust website for updates before you plan around them. The Guildhall's Banqueting Room was used for ball scenes, but it is mainly used for private events and is not usually open to the public.

The walking tour

If you want someone to take you round the route, the City of Bath Guides' Bridgerton walking tour is listed on the Visit Bath website at £20 per person. It runs twice a day, at 11.00am and 2.00pm, and booking is essential. It starts at the Abbey Hotel and finishes at the Royal Crescent, with stops including the Holburne Museum, No. 1 Royal Crescent, Gunter's Tea Shop and the Modiste. The page does not give a duration, so ask when you book. There is also a Roman Baths and Georgian Bath tour on Viator. That is a general Bath sightseeing tour rather than a Bridgerton one, so check the itinerary to see what it covers. Compare reviews and meeting points for any operator you book.

Bath at Christmas

If you are planning a winter visit, one 2026 listing gives 26 November to 13 December for the Bath Christmas Market. We only found that date in one source, so check before you go. Our guide to the best Christmas markets in the UK has the others.

London: Greenwich, Hampton Court and the sets

London is where the show is set, but most of what you see on screen is a mix of real houses and studio sets.

  • Ranger's House, Greenwich: the exterior of the Bridgertons' family home. It is run by English Heritage and houses the Wernher Collection. The interiors in the show were filmed on constructed sets, so you will recognise the outside rather than the rooms. An English Heritage membership can save money if you plan to visit several of its sites.
  • Greenwich Park and the Old Royal Naval College: used for outdoor conversations and classical riverside settings, and both are easy to combine with Ranger's House.
  • Hampton Court Palace: the exterior of Queen Charlotte's home, with filming in Fountain Court, Clock Court, the King's Stairs and the gardens. In summer you can take a public riverboat up the Thames to or from central London. You can book Hampton Court Palace tickets on Viator.
  • Syon Park: the Great Conservatory hosted Kate Sharma's first ball in season two. One guide says the house is open Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday and the gardens Wednesday to Sunday, so check the current days.
  • Not open to visit: Lancaster House was used for palace interiors, and Shepperton Studios holds the Regency street sets. Neither is normally open to visitors. Ham House closed for filming, but we could only find speculation that it was used.

The country houses

These are further afield, so they work best as a day trip or as part of a longer road trip.

  • Castle Howard, Yorkshire: the exterior of Clyvedon Castle, the Duke of Hastings' home. The Walled Garden was used for the Daphne and Nigel Berbrooke fight, and the nearby village of Coneysthorpe appears in estate scenes. It is the most practical house for readers in the north of England. Castle Howard's own page says the house's last day of standard opening is Saturday 31 October 2026, then it closes from 1 to 12 November and reopens for its Dickens Christmas event from 12 November to 3 January, with tickets from £24. Check the site for gardens-only tickets and standard prices.
  • Wilton House, near Salisbury: the interiors of Clyvedon Castle, including the Duke's dining room, and Queen Charlotte's residence. One guide says it is open year-round, but opening times vary and events are frequent, so check first.
  • Wrest Park, Bedfordshire: Aubrey Hall, the Bridgertons' country house, with formal gardens.
  • Hatfield House, Hertfordshire: listed as a filming location in some guides, with its own website for visiting information.
  • Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire: used for the hot air balloon scene in season three and for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. About 45 minutes from Oxford, with a discount on entry if you arrive by train, bus or bike.
  • Loseley Park, Surrey: thought to be Benedict's country cottage in season four, based on a photo released at a fan event. This is a likely match, not a confirmed one, and the house was closed during filming.

Ideas for a trip

A day in Bath. Arrive in time for the 11am walking tour, have lunch near Abbey Green, see the Holburne from the outside or go in for the collection, and finish at the Royal Crescent. If you want to go inside No. 1, book that for the afternoon.

A weekend in Bath. Spend one day on the route above and the next at Wilton House or Blenheim, depending on how you are travelling. Check the transport before you commit, as both are easier by car.

A London day. Ranger's House and Greenwich Park in the morning, then Hampton Court in the afternoon if you can fit it in. Both are English Heritage or Historic Royal Palaces sites, so check opening days.

A northern day out. Castle Howard is the obvious pick from Yorkshire, Manchester or the North East. Check the house is open for your date, and think about the Dickens Christmas event if you are going in winter.

What it costs

These are the prices we found. Many are from earlier seasons, so treat them as a guide.

  • Bath walking tour: £20 per person (Visit Bath listing)
  • No. 1 Royal Crescent: £16.00 adult, £14.50 concessions (2025 season)
  • Holburne Museum: free for the permanent collection, some exhibitions charged
  • Castle Howard Dickens Christmas event: from £24, including a booking fee
  • Train from Manchester to Bath: one booking site showed advance singles from £116.80, with a fastest journey of about 3 hours 49 minutes

We could not find reliable 2026 prices for Hampton Court, Ranger's House, Wilton House, Wrest Park or Blenheim, so check their official websites.

Before you go

  • Book the things that sell out. The walking tour and No. 1 Royal Crescent are the two to reserve first.
  • Go early. Bath is busy, and photographs outside Abbey Green and the Royal Crescent are much easier before 10am.
  • Check the closures. The Assembly Rooms are closed, and several country houses shut for part of the winter.
  • Wear sensible shoes. Bath's streets are cobbled and hilly in places.
