Afternoon Tea

A Bridgerton-Inspired UK Travel Itinerary for Fans

Season 4 of the hit TV series, Bridgerton, will be on screens worldwide from 29 January 2026, ready to whisk us all away to Georgian London and the love lives of the fashionable set. Whilst we may not be able to visit the fictionalised 1810s to meet Benedict Bridgerton ourselves, Bridgerton fans will be delighted to know that many of the locations found in the show are not only real but awaiting your visit.

Bath: the Georgian city

Nestled in the valley of the River Avon, Bath is a wonder of Georgian architecture – named Queen Charlotte’s beloved King George III who both feature in the Show – and also home to Francesca Bridgerton for first two seasons of Bridgerton. Stroll along sweeping crescents where you can imagine the Featherington’s walking by and even discover the real location for many a promenade at the Palladian Bridge in Prior’s Park. Keep exploring and discover the filming locations for Madame Delacroix’s dress shop at The Abbey Deli or Lady Danbury’s grand home (which is actually the real-life Holburne Museum of fine and decorative art!).

Discover the grandeur of the historic city and imagine yourself in Bridgerton with our tours to Bath.

London: the home of the Ton’s marriage mart

Each season of Bridgerton begins at the start of the ‘marriage mart’, where the newest young ladies of high rank make their debut in to society – doing so by presenting themselves to the formidable Queen Charlotte. Imagine yourself with a huge feather in your hair and white gown as you explore royal palaces in London, including Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace.

For those who have also watched the prequel series of Queen Charlotte, you’ll recognise the name ‘Kew’ – home to King George for a time and now known for the botanical beauty of Kew Gardens – London’s largest UNESCO World Heritage site. Home to thousands of rare plant species, incredible exhibitions and immaculate gardens, it is also where you’ll find Britain’s smallest royal palace.

If you’re a Bridgerton fan who also loves art, head to Somerset House – not only is its quadrangle a triumph of Georgian architecture, you might also recall our beloved Bridgerton characters visiting the esteemed arts centre in the second season. Somerset House is known for being a vibrant working arts centre and a home to creative businesses, art galleries (The Courtauld) and hosting major events such as winter ice skating and summer film screenings.

Tuck in to Afternoon Tea

With many a visit starting with ‘might I offer you some tea?’, it’s no wonder Bridgerton fans may be curious about what the quintessential British experience of an Afternoon Tea might involve.

Afternoon Tea was originally was invented in the 1800s by Anna Russell, the 7th Duchess of Bedford who felt there needed to be something to bridge the long gap between a light lunch and long-awaited dinner. Gradually evolving to include friends and becoming an elaborate affair with finger sandwiches, scones with cream and jam, and finishing with an array of small cakes, afternoon tea, unsurprisingly, also features cups of tea (and sometimes, a glass of fizz!)

Tuck in to your own Afternoon Tea experience with plenty of options – from boutique experiences at The Milestone, Kona Taj 51, The Rubens at the Palace, and even on the London Eye, to a delightful combination of Afternoon Tea and sightseeing on our London Afternoon Tea Bus Tour with PG Tips.

Be charmed by the Cotswolds

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city, much like the Ton does on the off-season, with a visit to the heart of the English countryside. Famous for rolling hills, honey-coloured stone villages, and vibrant historic market towns, the Cotswolds is renowned for its unspoilt countryside.

Reminiscent of the village close to Daphne Bridgerton’s new home in Season 1, stroll alongside tranquil rivers, explore cosy shops, tearooms and enjoy a traditional pub lunch. By the end of your visit, you’ll be in no doubt why this area of rich cultural heritage has been officially labelled as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Blenheim Palace: a jewel of Oxfordshire

Featured in both Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte, Blenheim Palace is an opulent stately home that can be found in the enchantingly beautiful English county of Oxfordshire. This magnificent palace is not only a UNESCO World Heritage site home to stunning architecture and lush landscapes, but has also been home to various scenes throughout the series.

Featuring lavishly decorated State Rooms (fit for Queen Charlotte to play chess with Lady Danbury in) and over 2,000 acres of parkland including meticulously designed formal gardens, there’s plenty to explore.

While Bridgerton may be a work of fiction, its inspiration is deeply rooted in British architecture and history – from grand stately homes to elegant Georgian cities, the UK offers countless opportunities to step into the Regency era and experience the places that inspired one of televisionโ€™s most visually striking series.

As we eagerly await Season 4 and the story of how Benedict Bridgerton finds his true love, these historic locations provide the perfect blend of culture, beauty, and storytelling – all waiting to be explored.
