The List of Queen Charlotte Filming Locations You Can Actually Visit

The stars of Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story have mentioned in numerous interviews how awestruck they felt while filming at Britain's finest heritage sites.

The majestic grandeur of the palaces, manor houses, and estates featured in the Bridgerton prequel left viewers breathless, even through the screen.

Interestingly, while the spinoff showcases some real historical locations, such as Buckingham House (later renamed Buckingham Palace) and Kew Palace, you may not recognise these historic buildings upon visiting them. That is because the scenes featuring these sites were filmed in different locations, as the actual ones were either too small for the massive production team or unavailable.

So, we are here to guide you if you want to see the exact chapel where Charlotte and George were married or the estate where Violet Bridgerton grew up. These places are grand and impressive in their own right, but knowing that your favourite characters set foot on their grounds will undoubtedly add to their allure. You might even encounter your lord or prince while strolling through Blenheim Palace or Belton House.

Below is a list of Queen Charlotte filming locations open to visitors and the fictional places they were cast as in the series.

• Blenheim Palace (Buckingham House)
• Hatfield House (Buckingham House, St. James’s Chapel)
• Belton House (Buckingham House, Kew Palace)
• Hampton Court Palace (Buckingham House, St. James’s Palace, Danbury Estate)
• Waddesdon Manor (Kew Palace)
• Merton College (St. James’s Chapel)
• Wilton House (St. James’s Palace, Untere Schloss)
• Syon House (St. James’s Palace)
• Goldsmith’s Hall (St. James’s Palace)
• Dorney Court (Danbury Villa)
• Badminton Estate (Danbury Estate)
• Bath Assembly Rooms (Danbury Estate)
• Ditton Manor (Untere Schloss)
• Queen’s House (Royal College of Physicians)
• Firle Place (Ledger Estate)
• Hackney Empire (Opera House)

While most of these mansions and palaces are typically open to the public, it is advisable to check their websites before visiting. In some instances, access may be restricted and must be planned in advance.

Merton College is a functioning college and is not always open; however, a ticket grants you access to the beautiful chapel where Charlotte and George's on-screen wedding takes place. Goldsmith's Hall is open only during the annual Goldsmiths' Fair, and you need to buy a guided tour to get in. Firle Place has specific annual visiting periods, while Badminton Estate and Ditton Manor open their doors exclusively for planned events, such as weddings.

After all, it's not a bad idea to get married at Charlotte's home or Danbury Estate, is it?
