This is Bridget Jones for Sit Up Britain, reporting live from London! Big pants ON—let’s take a tour of all the iconic Bridget Jones’s Diary filming locations in London.

With more than two decades between the first film (2001) and the highly anticipated Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy(2025), some locations have changed over time, but they remain must-visit spots for fans.

I’ve been obsessed with Bridget ever since reading the books in my teens. The fact that she worked in PR (just like I did!) made me love her even more. And, of course, the legendary scene about strolling into work in a see-through top and faffing around with press releases always resonated.

Let’s go on a Bridget Jones tour of London! Or if you prefer – check out my video below on YouTube:

Bridget’s iconic flat appears in three of the films and is located above The Globe Pub in Borough Market. The area is bustling, but you can still grab a quick snap outside the famous door.

📍 Bedales Wine Bar

Across the street is Bedales Wine Bar, a cozy spot that opens onto the market. In Bridget Jones’s Diary, this was transformed into a Greek restaurant where Mark and Daniel famously brawled on Bridget’s birthday.
