Bridgerton season 4’s finale finally landed on Netflix over the weekend. The romance and scandal didn’t disappoint, but now we’ve got some serious Bridgerton withdrawals. To keep us feeling the Regency fantasy while we wait for season 5, we’ve come up with the perfect day out in London that ticks all the Bridgerton boxes from morning ’til night. Think serene park strolls, Bridgerton-inspired concerts and a spot of afternoon tea in London’s finest establishments, plus a visit to a society-favourite cocktail bar that features a scandal-worthy ‘Forbidden Love’ cocktail.
Morning: a Regency stroll through St. James’s Park
Ah, those picturesque saunters through Bridgerton’s lush gardens and parklands. Think Eloise and Penelope gossiping their way through the grassy lawns or Daphne and Simon’s faux courtship near Grosvenor Square. You can recreate whimsical scenes like these inside St. James’s Park in Westminster—a 57-acre green oasis featuring a royal flower garden and signature Blue Bridge with panoramic views of London.
And of course, the gorgeous central lake, home to ducks, geese and pelicans, looks straight out of that scene where Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) falls into the lake in Bridgerton season 2 (although we highly recommend against recreating this one).
Address: London SW1A 2BJ
Afternoon: traditional Whistledown-worthy high tea in London
From St. James’s Park, you’ll then want to head to St. Ermin’s Hotel Tea Lounge (just a 5-minute walk from the park’s southern entrance). The stylish tea room serves some of the best afternoon tea in London inside a rococo-plastered atrium—a spot where the likes of Violet Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte would sip (and spill) tea.
Classic tea features plain and fruit scones with all the traditional delights like clotted cream and jam, plus savouries like smoked salmon mousse and poached crayfish, finished off with raspberry-pistachio tartlets and lemon-cranberry cake. If you fancy adding some bubbles to your Bridgerton day out in London, there’s the option to add free-flowing Crémant to the afternoon’s proceedings.
Address: Caxton St, London SW1H 0QW, United Kingdom
Evening: a Candlelight Bridgerton concert at Central Hall Westminster
After indulging in the wonders of tea and company, take a quick four-minute stroll from St. Ermin’s Hotel Tea Lounge to Central Hall Westminster for the ultimate Bridgerton plan in London. A string quartet will be swooning the Ton with live music from the Bridgerton soundtrack performed entirely on strings. Take your seat inside the Grade II-listed hall and revisit your favourite ballroom scenes and dazzling social soirées from the hit Shondaland show on Netflix.
Address: Storey’s Gate, London SW1H 9NH, United Kingdom
Night: a tipple inside an exclusive London cocktail bar
As the last notes of the strings fade, you can keep the Bridgerton fantasy alive with a sophisticated nightcap inside one of the most lavish cocktail bars in London. The Library Bar at The Lanesborough near Hyde Park Corner is a luxurious drinking spot that exudes all things Bridgerton—elegance, sophistication and a touch of timeless allure.
There are mahogany bookshelves, grand armchairs and a roaring fireplace, creating the ideal ambience to sip on award-winning cocktails like the Forbidden Love Cocktail packed with Hendrick’s gin mixed with sweet basil water, London Essence Peach & Jasmine soda and a hint of scandal.
Address: 1 Lanesborough Place, London, SW1X 7TA
