Bridgerton fans are eagerly awaiting the release of season three on Netflix next week, but if you need your fill before then you may want to visit one of the spots in Greenwich used to film the hit period drama.
Greenwich has so many beautiful places it’s no wonder it was chosen to film the popular television show, so I went to visit them all and see how they compare in real life.
In Greenwich, Rangers House, Greenwich Park Rose Garden and the Queen’s House are all used as Bridgerton filming locations.
Ranger’s House appears in the first season of Bridgerton as the distinguished family’s home.
Bridgerton is a period drama set in the Regency era showing a close-knit family made up of eight siblings and their mother – after the tragic death of their father – navigate London’s high society as they search for love.
As the family prepares for Daphne, the leading lady of season one, to “come out” to society, they can be seen on the front steps of Ranger’s House before getting into their carriage.
Ranger’s House is a grand, Georgian building which is cared for by English Heritage.
The stunning, wisteria that adorns the front of the building in the show is sadly not there in real life and has been used as decoration to set the scene.
The green front door is also something only in the television show, in real life the door is dark brown.
It is not just the doorway that is used for filming, there is a garden behind the house named Greenwich Park Rose Garden which also features in Bridgerton.
When I visited, the garden was yet to fully bloom, but I could see that plenty had been planted and I’m sure when the greenery blossoms it will be just as breath-taking as it is in Bridgerton.
The garden is lined with benches so that people can take a seat and enjoy the view of both the garden and Ranger’s House while taking the weight off their feet.
After seeing the Bridgerton home, I walked across Greenwich park to go and see Queen’s House.
Queen’s House can be found at the edge of Greenwich park but don’t worry, you won’t miss it.
The building is massive and imposing and was once the home of King James I’s wife, Anne of Denmark.
According to Royal Museums Greenwich, the structure is used as the front of Somerset House as the setting for a grand ball attended by Prince Friedrich of Prussia.
Carriages and horses can be seen outside of the entrance and the staircase is decked out with flowers in the show.
Part one of season three will air on May 16, and part two will air on June 13.
Locations used for filming in other parts of London include Lancaster House and Hackney Empire.
