It was used as the exterior of the Featheringtons’ family pad, as “with the
Featheringtons, it is all about show,” says Bridgerton production designer,
Will Hughes-Jones. Whilst there, pop a few doors down to sample the
Royal Crescent Hotel’s champagne afternoon tea or hop on a carriage.
Stop at the city’s impressive Guildhall as its banqueting room with
unmissable chandeliers stood in for the Rambury ballroom.
Follow the footsteps of your favourite characters, walking along streets
where filming took place. There’s Abbey Green, Bath Street, Beauford
Square, as well as Trim Street, where inside number 12 Gunter’s Tea Shop
was filmed.
The Holburne Museum in Sydney Pleasure Gardens, another must-visit
attraction on the Great West Way, doubles as Lady Danbury's home and
the stunning Grade I listed elegant façade is seen in almost all episodes.
Lady Danbury was filmed here stepping down from her carriage while
reading Lady Whistledown’s gossip sheet.
Situated in the centre of Bath, Abbey Green’s cobbled streets and quaint
boutiques make it a dream filming location for Bridgerton and it’s here
that the fictional dress shop, Modiste, is located. Owned by renowned
seamstress Madame Genevieve Delacroix, the shop is a hotbed of style and
gossip and the setting to several key scenes in the show. If you’re a fan of the
show, you can look forward to donning your best outfits for a turn around
the square, before a spot of lunch and shopping in true Bridgerton style.
Bath Street features in the very first episode of Bridgerton, when the Duke
makes his heart-stopping appearance on horseback. Although it doubles
as a Mayfair street in London, this Georgian delight is actually the location
of a quintessential Great West Way highlight, the Thermae Bath Spa, an
award-winning spa featuring the 18th-century Cross Bath and an open-air
rooftop pool. →
