Tour Stops (6)

Beauford Square

Welcome to Beauford Square, a remarkably preserved corner of Bath built in 1730. In the world of Bridgerton, this quiet square was used for various street scenes, capturing the everyday bustle of Regency life. Notice the small rectangular lawn enclosed by iron railings; it looks almost exactly as it did three centuries ago. The architecture here is typical of the modest but elegant housing of the era. As you walk through, imagine the horse-drawn carriages and ladies in empire-waist gowns who once would have frequented these very stones. It is one of the most atmospheric spots in the city to begin your self-guided adventure.

Trim Street

A short walk brings you to Trim Street. Fans of the show will recognize this narrow lane as the location for Gunter’s Tea Shop. In the series, this is where the characters frequently gather to gossip over tea and cakes. In reality, the street has a deep history; it was once home to the famous General Wolfe. Look for the building at number 12, which provided the exterior for the tea shop. The narrow proportions and historic shopfronts make this one of the most charming streets in the city center, perfectly capturing the intimate scale of 18th-century urban life.

The Guildhall

The Guildhall is a masterpiece of Georgian architecture, and its interior played a starring role in the show’s social calendar. The Banqueting Room, with its grand chandeliers and ornate ceilings, served as the setting for the Rambury Ball. While the interior is often used for private events, the exterior is equally impressive, featuring a grand pediment and classical columns. This building has been the center of Bath's civic life since the 1770s. It represents the height of the city's wealth and social ambition during the period when Bath was the 'place to be' for the British elite.

The Abbey Deli

Located in the heart of the city near the Abbey, this charming deli is perhaps the most famous filming location in Bath. In Bridgerton, this building is transformed into the Modiste, the dress shop owned by Madame Delacroix. This is where the ladies of the Ton come to be fitted for their ball gowns and where much of the show's juiciest gossip is shared. While it is a functioning deli today, the owners have kept several nods to its filming history inside. The large windows and historic facade make it a perfect spot for a photo, and perhaps a quick break for a coffee or a famous Bath Bun.

The Holburne Museum

As you walk down the grand Great Pulteney Street, the Holburne Museum comes into view. This building serves as the exterior of Lady Danbury’s house. The grand, symmetrical facade and sweeping driveway provide the perfect setting for the formidable Lady Danbury’s estate. Originally built as the Sydney Hotel in the late 18th century, it was the social heart of Sydney Gardens, the only remaining 18th-century pleasure gardens in the UK. Today, it houses a world-class art collection, but for fans, it remains the site of many dramatic arrivals and departures in the series.

The Royal Crescent

Finally, arrive at the Royal Crescent, one of the greatest examples of Georgian architecture in the world. This sweeping curve of 30 terraced houses was built between 1767 and 1774. In the series, No. 1 Royal Crescent serves as the exterior for the Featherington family home. The contrast between the orderly, grand exterior and the chaotic lives of the Featheringtons inside is a hallmark of the show. Standing here, you can see why this location was chosen; it perfectly embodies the prestige and scale of the Regency era. Take a moment to walk the length of the crescent and enjoy the view over Royal Victoria Park.
