Bridgerton’s Iconic Bath Locations
Stop One: The Royal Crescent
Approx. 7 minute walk from The Yard in Bath
This majestic crescent of houses and green, built between 1767 and 1775, is a quintessential Bath sight. In Bridgerton, number 1 Royal Crescent stands in for the Featherington family’s stately home, a deviation from the book’s London setting. The production team further enhanced the setting by adding decorative flourishes, such as a pair of stone lions and ornately carved pediments and rosettes to really capture the families taste.
Private guided tours of No. 1 Royal Crescent are available for £17 per person. For inquiries and bookings, please contact no1royalcrescent@bptrust.org.uk
Stop Two: Abbey Green
Approx. 15 minute walk from The Royal Crescent
Nestled near Bath Abbey, this picturesque square is where you’ll find the Modiste clothing shop in the series. Both the interior and exterior of the building were used for filming. Those visiting Bath can pop into the Abbey Deli for a delicious treat, or even have a Madame Delacroix Afternoon Tea at The Modiste.
Stop Three: The Assembly Rooms
Approx. 2 minute walk from Abbey Green
The lavish social gatherings of the Ton in the Bridgerton series were filmed at the magnificent Assembly Rooms in Bath. This historic venue, originally a tea room and ballroom, has hosted events since the 1800s and offers a glimpse into the grandeur of Regency society. When not in use for filming or private functions, you can visit for free and take in the splendor.
Stop Four: The Holburne Museum
