Where was Bridget Jones's Diary filmed?

This much-loved romantic comedy is woven into the texture of everyday London, trading grand landmarks for the cosy, lived-in charm of a real neighbourhood. Its warmth and self-deprecating humour have kept it a firm favourite, and for set-jetters the draw is being able to step straight into the corner of the city the heroine calls home.

The film is rooted in London, and specifically around Borough Market, the bustling food market beneath the railway arches on the south bank of the Thames. The heroine's famous flat sits right above the corner pub here, the Globe Tavern, on the edge of the market, making this small, atmospheric pocket of the city the everyday backdrop to her story.

Fans can wander the market stalls, photograph the flat above the pub from the street, and soak up the neighbourhood that gives the film its lived-in feel. Pair the visit with nearby Southwark sights and a riverside walk along the Thames, and consider linking it with other London screen locations for a fuller romantic-comedy day out.
