The new Bridget Jones film hit cinema screens at the weekend, and some eagle-eyed fans are being taken on a walk both down memory lane and through some recognisable bits of London by the romantic jaunt.

Whether you want to explore a location on screen close to you, or are keen to explore a new destination further afield, many of the locations in the film are real and fans can actually visit.

Here are some of the most recognisable:

In August last year, fans were thrilled when they saw Bridget Jones herself – actress Renée Zellweger – filming a scene in the snow in Hampstead. In fact, many scenes in the film were shot in the leafy north London borough, including Bridget’s home.

Hampstead is known for being one of London’s oldest and best-preserved neighbourhoods. Bridget’s Victorian house is a pretty example of what much of the area looks like, and why so many visit Hampstead for its architecture.

Whilst the interior of the house in the film is a stage set, the exterior can be found in Hampstead Village, as well as the streets of many scenes. Parliament Hill, which is also based in the neighbourhood, features an oak tree that Bridget gets stuck up in the movie. The scene was shot at the top of Parliament Hill, where visitors can enjoy expansive views across London.

It wouldn’t be a Bridget Jones movie without a few sorrows being drowned in a pub. Also based in Hampstead is The Flask – a 17th-century inn, where Bridget is seen at the bar. The traditional pub features typical British classics, including fish and chips, Scotch eggs or alternatively, you can opt for more contemporary dishes.

There is also the Electric Diner, which is located on Portabello Road. This is the spot where Bridget has her first date with new man, Roxster McDuff, who is played by Leo Woodall. The diner is a SoHo House property and features distinctive red booths. Fans can visit for themselves, and try their Mexican menu, which includes fish tacos and chips with guacamole.

Even in its own right, Borough Market is a must-see foodie destination in London. It is one of London’s oldest and largest food markets, featuring over 100 businesses selling cheese, meat, oysters and more. In the movie, Bridget meets Roxster there — although admittedly, the market is very busy in real life making it quite a hard spot to meet someone.

One of the more corporate settings in the film is Moor House, or in the films – Bridget’s office. The office building is located in central London, and was designed by Foster & Partners, who famously also designed ‘The Gherkin’.

While you cannot go inside the building, as it is a real office building, you can see the outside, which features extensive glass.

Away from the corporate buildings in central London is one of the date locations in the film — Hackney Canal. Known more widely as Regent’s Canal, it dates back to the 17th century and its curves offer different views of industrial warehouses, rail bridges and gasometers. There is also a trail along the canal making it the ideal spot for spring walks.

A slightly lesser-known London spot is Fish Island, located in the east of the city. Bridget and Roxster visit together, but even though the name suggests it — it is not an island. Rather Fish Island is a historic zone, near to Queen Elizabeth Park. It does however have a charming atmosphere and heaps of beautiful architecture and interesting history.

In this film, Bridget finally has children of her own, named Billy and Mabel. Whilst there are only slight glimpses of the kids at school, some of the exterior shots were taken at Christ Church Primary School and other shots were filmed at Yerbury Primary School in Islington, and the Normansfield Theatre.

All of these schools exist and for obvious reasons aren’t open for the public to wander into, but they are pretty and can be admired from the outside.

Just outside of central London, in Richmond, is Petersham House which is a 17th century historic home.

In the film, there is a garden scene which was shot at Petersham. The house is open to the public during open days organised by the National Garden Scheme. Nearby there is also Petersham Nurseries, which includes a garden and nursery, as well as lifestyle shop, restaurant and café.

In the film we see Bridget help a teacher at her children’s school supervise a weekend trip to the Lake District. The Lake District offers breath-taking scenery and fantastic walks which provided the perfect backdrop for the film. At one point in the film, the group also has to take shelter in barn from a storm, which is actually called the Old Brandlehow Barn, and is near Derwentwater.
