The colonnaded courtyards and domes of the Old Royal Naval College, beside the Thames in Greenwich, are among the most used natural sets in Bridgerton: the college itself says it has appeared in every season. According to VisitBritain, it stands in for the streets of Regency London; according to Netflix's filming guide, in the second season it is a market, the street outside the Featherington house and the place where Anthony works on his list of candidates. It is a filming location, and what appears on screen, the courtyards and facades, can be explored for free.
What can you see?
The courtyards and gardens open every day from 8:00 to 23:00 with no entry fee. The colonnades and domes, with the river in front, are what you will recognise from the series. Inside you can visit the Painted Hall, the great hall with painted ceilings, and the chapel. The Painted Hall, the chapel and the visitor centre open from 10:00 to 17:00.
Tickets and tours
General admission to the Painted Hall costs £19 and converts free into an annual pass; children do not pay. It includes the Painted Hall talks and the guided tour of the college's history, several times a day. For the series, the college runs a period filming tour, Wigs, Weddings, Powder and Palaces, on some Fridays and Saturdays, booked on its website: check the dates there, as they change. From 20 November 2026, the Painted Hall hosts the installation Peace Doves, by Peter Walker.
