Where was the fourth season of Bridgerton filmed?

These days, I found myself drifting back into the Regency period once again, with new loves, rivalries, and intrigues from the pen and imagination of author Julia Quinn and producer Shonda Rhimes. That said, in previous seasons it often happened that the magnificent Georgian buildings captivated me more than the romantic storylines. I know, even all that yearning was not enough. The fourth season is noticeably different from the others, raising questions it had not asked before. For the first time, the world of Bridgerton is clearly divided into classes, without any attempt to romanticize or erase that division, something we have already discussed. The only thing that remains the same is the impressive locations.

Although the story is set in London’s Mayfair, more precisely on the elite Grosvenor Square, Lady Whistledown’s pages in reality arrive from addresses across London, Bath, and Surrey. Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) and Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) once again guide us through lavish gardens, balls, and villas in the fourth season, and since many of these locations are open to the public, below we reveal the places you can visit and experience the behind the scenes world of Bridgerton.

Where is the Bridgerton family home located?

Let us return to the beginning. The Bridgerton family home is imagined as a house on Grosvenor Square, in the elegant Mayfair district of London. However, filming actually took place in Greenwich, in southeast London, at the Georgian villa Ranger’s House on the edge of Greenwich Park. Today, it is home to The Wernher Collection, which includes more than 700 works of art, and it can be visited when filming is not taking place.

For the interiors, Halton House near Aylesbury is also used, a 19th century building in the style of a French château. Today it belongs to RAF Halton, and in the series The Crown it served as the French home of the abdicated King Edward VIII.

Which villas were used in Bridgerton?

Bridgerton is filmed across a large number of representative houses throughout the United Kingdom. Although it is not the Bridgerton family home, one of the castles used for filming is Castle Howard in Yorkshire. This imposing 18th century estate appeared in the 1981 television series and the 2008 film Brideshead Revisited, and in Bridgerton it served as Clyvedon Castle, the home of the Duke of Hastings, in the first season.

One of the most frequently seen houses is Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire, which stands in for the exterior of Aubrey Hall, the Bridgerton family’s country estate. As with many locations in the series, it is combined with other properties. Some rooms were filmed at West Wycombe Park, also in Hertfordshire, an 18th century house that appears in the series Downton Abbey and the 2017 television adaptation of Howard’s End, while the impressive orangery garden is actually located at Wrest Park in Bedfordshire, built in the 1830s.

Which locations were used to film the fourth season of Bridgerton?

Shepperton Studios, Middlesex

Whether for practical reasons or due to the enormous attention from cameras following the success of the first three seasons, most of the fourth season of Bridgerton was filmed on a set of around two hectares at Shepperton Studios. The Netflix teaser states: “The set spans approximately two hectares and features replicas of Georgian and Regency architecture, including houses, buildings, Mayfair streets, and much more in all their splendor.”

The new set is the work of production designer Alison Gartshore, supervising art director Antony Cartlidge, and art director Adam David Grant, who together brought this fairytale world to life. As one of the largest film studios in the world, Shepperton Studios has been used for numerous productions, including Enola Holmes 2, Doctor Strange, Mary Poppins Returns, and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

Familiar exteriors and green spaces return in the fourth season, and the exterior of the Bridgerton family estate, the real location Ranger’s House in Greenwich, remains one of the most recognizable. Other London locations that appear include the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, used for various exterior scenes, as well as Osterley Park and House, which previously served for ball scenes and outdoor gatherings.
