BRIDGERTONS

ENGLAND

I

t is a truth universally acknowledged that when Netflix invest in a big-budget

drama, the results can be truly remarkable. And guided by the skilful hands

of Chris Van Dusen and Shonda Rhimes,

Bridgerton

has set a new standard

for dramas shot on location. Apart from the beguiling scripts, some inspired

casting, a vast wardrobe of 7,500 costumes with a vivid colour palette, there

are some jaw-dropping Regency locations to savour. And to these, gentle reader,

we will take you.

For the first series of

Bridgerton

over 40 locations were used, dotted around

England, from Leigh Court in the south-west to Castle Howard in North

Yorkshire and to Chatham Dockyard on the Kent coast. Some of the great

stately homes used in the series have been in the same family for years. Wilton

House, near Salisbury, is the home of William Herbert, 18th Earl of Pembroke.

His ancestor, William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke, was given the estate by

Henry VIII over 400 years ago.

Bridgerton

fans will instantly recognise the rear

entrance to Wilton as the establishing shot for Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings

London residence, while one peep inside the Double Cube Room will get the

heart palpitations going. It is where Queen Charlotte installed in front of an

enormous painting of the 4th Earl Pembroke and her ladies in waiting viewed

the young ladies being presented to court.

And you can visit them both. Almost all of the grand houses, parks and

landscape gardens in the series are open to the public at some point in the

year; while a few are open all year round. One exception is Lancaster House, a

building so opulent it made Queen Victoria envious. In

Bridgerton

it stands in

for a variety of rooms in Buckingham Palace and is run by the British Foreign

and Commonwealth Development Office. You cannot stroll in with a day ticket

to Lancaster House, but you

can

hire it for a wedding. For those nurturing

the fantasy of a

Bridgerton

-themed ceremony,

there is the opportunity to hire event spaces at

virtually every grand location you see on screen.

Our small book is the opportunity to indulge

in yet another watch of this dramatic gem.

Because now you can relive the drama and spot

the real-life locations where it was filmed. It

will give you a true appreciation of the skill and

craft of the film directors, editors and the often

unsung heroes, the continuity department and

location managers, who have put together this

remarkable series.

Introduction

We filmed just off the Mall, near

Buckingham Palace (Lancaster House).

For Hampton Court Palace we were there

for an afternoon. It was just amazing. I felt

like a

Blue Peter

winner. I dont think thats

something thats ever going to be matched,

really. I think that comes from being

supported by Netflix. And also Shondalands

massive scope for wanting to put everything

they can on screen.

of higgledy-piggledy roof heights

and window alignments that came

with this approach, a system quaintly

referred to as Queen Anne fronts and

Mary Anne backs.

Of the crescents 30 townhouses,

10 are still full-size Georgian

townhouses; 18 have been split into

apartments and the large central

house at number 16 is the Royal

Crescent Hotel & Spa. There was

outrage in the 1970s when one

resident painted their front door

yellow instead of the traditional

white, but despite the furore planning

authorities allowed the change on

appeal.

LOCATION ROLES

Baths celebrated Crescent was built

between 1767 and 1775 by John

Wood. His father, John Wood the

Elder, had built the nearby Circus,

an impressive circular parade of

elegant townhouses, but his son went

one better with a 500-foot row of

30 terraced houses accompanied by

114 Ionic columns. And when Prince

Frederick, Duke of York and Albany,

moved into No.1 it became the Royal

Crescent.

By modern standards it was an

unusual building scheme. Wood

designed the neoclassical faade and

purchasers bought a certain length of

it. They then hired their own architect

to design a house to their specification

behind the classical frontage

occasionally buyers would buy a

double length and so what appeared

as two houses was actually one. Take
