South east London is home to some of the most well-known Bridgerton filming locations and Georgian architecture that Bridgerton fans will love.
Season three of Bridgerton is set to debut on May 18, bringing back many of the show's most beloved and iconic characters.
The drama, following the stories of the Bridgerton siblings, has fans gearing up in anticipation for the new show.
To mark the release of the highly anticipated third season, we have rounded up some of the best things to see and do in south east London for the ultimate Bridgerton themed day out.
Here’s our list:
Visit the Fan Museum in Greenwich
If there’s one thing no debutant will be without in the series, it’s a fan.
Greenwich has its very own Fan Museum, located within a Grade II* listed Georgian townhouse off Greenwich Park, featuring a collection of fans from around the world.
Currently the museum is hosting an exhibition on Parisian fans, showing a collection dating from the 18th to the 20th century up until June 29.
Entry to the museum is £5 for an adult and £3 for a child.
Visit the Greenwich filming locations
Greenwich is home to some of Bridgerton’s most iconic filming locations, with many of them free to visit.
Head over to The Ranger's House, a Georgian villa on the borders of Blackheath and Greenwich Park, which was used as a backdrop for the home of the Bridgerton family in series one and two.
First built in 1723 as a Georgian villa, the site now houses the Wernher Collection, with over 700 works of art displayed on the site.
Also in Greenwich you’ll find The Old Royal Naval College, where the exterior was used to film Bridgerton in series one and two.
This UNESCO Heritage site was first built in 1712 as a hospital for naval officers and is a prime example of Georgian architecture.
Explore the Painted Hall
Otherwise known as “Britain’s Sistine Chapel”, the Painted Hall in Old Royal Naval College is a stunning 18th century baroque structure designed by Sir James Thornhill, featuring 200 figures that depict Britain’s long history.
Although the Painted Hall hasn’t appeared in Bridgerton, the hall has appeared in many other period shows including Netflix’s The Crown and Ridley Scott’s Napoleon.
Tickets cost £16.50 for an adult while children go free.
Seek out the wisteria at some Instagram hotspots
If there’s one flower that screams Bridgerton, it's wisteria.
This fragrant climbing flower that blooms towards the end of May has become synonymous with the show over in recent years.
If you’re visiting south east London you can find wisteria in a number of Instagram-worthy locations, perfect if you’re planning any Bridgerton inspired photoshoots.
Head over to Sexby Garden in Peckham where you can find a wisteria-covered pagoda tunnel lined with purple wisteria.
If you’re in Eltham, visit Well Hall Pleasaunce where you can find a wisteria walkway, or Eltham Palace and Gardens where wisteria can be found growing towards the east of the palace.
