Bridgerton Returns Bigger and Brighter with Spectacular New Filming Destinations

Season three of the beloved Bridgerton saw the Netflix romance expanding its scope, according to location manager Tony Hood. In this season, the creators wanted to make everything feel more grandiose, including the costumes and landscapes. This was a change from season two, which could only film one ball scene on location due to COVID restrictions.

In 2022, Bridgerton's production designer Will Hughes-Jones took fans behind the scenes of the show's breathtaking backdrops. When choosing settings, Hughes-Jones' top priority is enhancing the narrative

Ranger's House - A Georgian Gem with Royal Pedigree

Set on the borders of Greenwich Park and Blackheath, Ranger's House dates back to 1723. The elegant Georgian villa has hosted countless aristocrats and nobility over the decades, such as Princess Augusta, sister to King George III. Today, visitors can step inside to admire the Wernher Collection, a treasure trove of art and antiquities amassed by 19th century businessman Sir Julius Wernher during his globe-trotting travels. With its illustrious history and architecture glory, it's no surprise Ranger's House lent its grand halls to Bridgerton.

Hampton Court Palace

Bridgerton fans will surely recognize Ranger's House from its show-stopping appearances. In season three, it hosted the enchanting Greek myth ballet performance during the Queen's Ball in episode four. Season two also featured the house prominently, such as for Anthony and Edwina's wedding celebration, scenes at Benedict's art studio, and even portraying the royal Queen's Court.

While Queen Charlotte herself did not reside at Hampton Court Palace, it has long served as home to British royalty. King Henry VIII brought each of his six wives there. Later, King William III and Queen Mary II left their mark through commissioning the stunning palace gardens. Queen Victoria likewise opened the historic property to the public in 1838, ensuring its legacy for generations to enjoy.

Windsor Great Park

Eagle-eyed Bridgerton fans will recognize Windsor Great Park as the lush backdrop for pivotal season two moments. It served as the picturesque setting for Kate and Anthony's hunting scene, as well as their soul-baring horseback ride through the rainy woods after their fateful evening together. Spanning 4,800 acres, Windsor Great Park has long been an intimate royal escape, originally used as private hunting grounds for Windsor Castle. Now accessible to all, walking its winding paths transports visitors through a landscape rich with England's heritage - from standing trees over 1,000 years old to more manicured royal residences and gardens. As its website says, every journey within promises a voyage through history on the park's enchanting grounds.

Goldsmiths' Hall

You may recognize Goldsmiths' Hall from several key scenes in Bridgerton season two. It stands in for the room Edwina retreats to after her wedding to Anthony goes awry, as well as the chamber Anthony readies for the celebration. Additionally, Goldsmiths' Hall transforms into the lavish throne room of Queen Charlotte herself.

The hall has undergone three reincarnations over centuries. Its current imposing Neoclassical iteration was imagined by architect Philip Hardwick and first opened its doors in 1835. Goldsmiths' Hall continues to serve as headquarters for the prestigious Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, one of the original London medieval trade guilds that evolved into the livery companies still active today. Its grand halls certainly lend themselves well to Bridgerton's royal portraits of times past.
