Bridget’s apartment is the obvious place to begin. Ask any Londoner if this is a normal place to live and they’ll likely laugh in your face, but the setting feels suitably ‘London’ for the Bridget Jones films. The protagonist lives in this flat for the first few films. It is the location of her internal monologues as well as her intermittent partners Mark Darcy, Colin Firth, and Daniel Cleaver. Borough Market, a busy neighborhood in central London, is home to the oldest and largest food market in the city. On a Sunday, you can enjoy the freshly baked pastries of Bread Ahead, The Ginger Pig’s famous sausage rolls or even on a Friday night when people spill out onto the street with their drinks and eat wraps or buns at Applebee’s Fishbox.
Bridget, who lived in Borough Market for many years, moves to Hampstead. Mad About The Boy. When the film was released, we spoke with filmmaker Michael Morris. “Hampstead has a village-like feel to it, and I want people who haven’t been there before to see how beautiful it is.” he said. Cast and crew also walked the streets of South Kensington for the film. South Ken is different with its white stucco homes. There’s a view at the beginning of the film, along a typical South Ken street with the white pillars and the V&A museum in the background, where we see Colin [Firth] Michael adds, “for the first”
Notting Hill
Notting Hill is not too far away from South Ken. With its postcard-perfect pastel-colored houses, cutesy cafés and neighborhood restaurants, it’s a sure-shot setting for a rom-com like Bridget Jones. The latest film is a great example of this. Mad About The Boy Bridget has a date Roxster McDuff (played by Leo Woodall). The White Lotus The Electric Cinema in Notting Hill, UK, is one of the oldest operating theaters and the first black-owned movie house.
