  • The Light Bar, Shoreditch

Bridget Jones FAQs

  • Bridget Jones’s Diary is predominantly filmed in London but some scenes were also shot in Gloucestershire in England. 

  • Bridget Jones’ flat is at 8 Bedale Street in Southwark, London, above the Globe Tavern in Borough Market – where Thai restaurant Khao Bird now sits. However, this only featured as the exterior. The interior scenes were shot at Elstree Studio. The Khao Bird may be worth visiting for fans of the franchise, with some menu items dedicated to the movie.

  • Bridget Jones’ parents’ house is located in Snowshill, Gloucestershire, England. As it’s a private home, it isn’t open to visitors. However, parts of the surrounding Cotswolds village may be recognised from the film.
