'Bridgerton' Season 3, Part 2 Is Here—See Every Opulent Filming Location

This article provides a comprehensive guide to the opulent filming locations used throughout all three seasons of the Netflix series, 'Bridgerton.' The series, known for its lavish Regency-era settings, utilizes a variety of real-world manor houses, palaces, castles, and museums across England to bring its fictional world to life. Many of these locations have also featured in other period dramas, including 'The Crown,' 'Rebecca,' and 'Enola Holmes.' The Livingston Estate, featured in a garden party scene during season three, was filmed at Squerryes Court, a 17th-century manor house in Kent. While the house and gardens are no longer regularly open to the public, they can be visited on specific National Garden Scheme days, and the property also includes a vineyard and dining options. The Kent Estate, which becomes the upgraded residence for Alice and Will Mondrich in season three, is depicted by Kingston Bagpuize House. Location manager Tony Hood chose this setting for its authenticity and lived-in quality. The house and gardens are open to visitors on select days and have also been seen in productions like 'Downtown Abbey' and 'Emma.' Lady Tilley Arnold’s residence, introduced in season three, utilizes the interiors of Basildon Park. This location was previously used for the exterior of the Featherington family’s garden. The article highlights the fantastic interiors and unbelievable staircase of Basildon Park, which were leveraged to convey Lady Tilley's wealth and independence. The Hawkins Residence, home to the eccentric Lord Hawkins, features Grimsthorpe Castle for both its interiors and exteriors. The castle's unique blend of Tudor and Baroque architecture contributes to its slightly quirky appearance. The Vanburgh Hall within the castle served as the setting for a dreamy ball, reflecting Lord Hawkins's unconventional taste. The Cowper Residence, belonging to Cressida Cowper and her family, is portrayed by Pitzhanger Manor, the former country house of architect Sir John Soane. The production team intentionally created a masculine and foreboding interior for the Cowper home, using a dark color palette, narrowed spaces, and large columns to visually contrast with Cressida's character and make the characters feel smaller within the opulent but harsh environment. The iconic Bridgerton Residence exterior is Ranger's House, an art museum in Greenwich, London, adorned with added wisteria and ivy for the series. The interiors are largely filmed at RAF Halton. The article also notes the distinct blue-and-white color palette of the Bridgerton drawing room and the blend of Bridgerton and Sharma family colors in Anthony and Kate’s apartment within the residence. The Featherington Residence utilizes multiple locations. RAF Halton provides some dining room interiors, while Hatfield House, a site familiar from many other period productions, also contributes to the interiors. No. 1 Royal Crescent in Bath serves as the exterior for the Featherington home, including Penelope's window. For a new room introduced in season three for Penelope and Colin's wedding breakfast, Claydon House was used, fitting the Featherington aesthetic with its bright hues and ornate carvings. Three country houses combine to form the Duke of Hastings’s residence: Wilton House, Syon House, and Badminton House. Wilton House, a veteran of numerous period dramas, serves as both exterior and interior, while Syon House and Badminton House were used for interiors only. Wilton House is noted for its versatility, often representing multiple locations, including St. James’s Palace and Buckingham House. Lady Danbury’s residence shares interior filming locations with the Duke of Hastings’s home, specifically Badminton House and Wilton House. The exterior is famously played by The Holburne Museum. For season two, the production design team created specific dusty pink and sunset-hued interiors for the Sharma family’s stay at Lady Danbury’s residence. The Queen’s Residence, Queen Charlotte's abode, uses Hampton Court Palace for its exterior. Lancaster House and Wilton House contribute to the opulent interiors. Additionally, Blenheim Palace appears as the Queen's Buckingham House (now Buckingham Palace), making its 'Bridgerton' debut in season three, though it was a significant location in 'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.' The Duke and Duchess’s fictional Clyvedon Castle, their post-marriage home, is represented by Castle Howard for its exterior, with interiors filmed at North Mymms Park, Wilton House, and Badminton House. Finally, numerous ballroom scenes, central to the Regency era, are filmed across various grand locations, including Hampton Court Palace, Osterley Park and House, Leigh Court, Guildhall, the Bath Assembly Rooms, and Holburne Museum, each contributing to the lavish backdrop of the series' social events. #Bridgerton #FilmingLocations #RegencyEra #HistoricHouses #EnglishArchitecture #NetflixSeries #PeriodDrama #SetDesign #UKTravel #Bridgerton #FilmingLocations #RegencyEra #HistoricHouses #EnglishArchitecture #NetflixSeries #PeriodDrama #SetDesign #UKTravel
