Bridget Jones's Diary

The very first time we met Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) was in 2001 and not in her London pad, but at her parents' house.

Bridget first locked eyes with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) at her mum and dad's house outside of London filmed in the Gloucestershire village of Snowhill.

The beautiful Cotswolds village is certainly peaceful, with a few beautiful cottages and Snowshill Manor (given to Henry VII's wife Katherine Parr) to explore.

Later on, we venture back to London and it's safe to say we were all pretty envious of Bridget's flat in Zone 1.

The exterior scenes were filmed on 8 Bedale Street in Southwark with Bridget's flat around the corner from Borough Market looking out onto the train line.

Bridget's flat is above The Globe Tavern pub (recently turned into a Thai restaurant) and has become a popular spot for fans to snap a picture of the most recognisable locations from the film.

Just down the road on Bedale Street is where actors Colin and Hugh Grant brawled in the street.

The shop front of Bedales of Borough was transformed for the scene and made into a Greek restaurant.

A location outside of London that was used in the very first film was Stoke Park Hotel. where Bridget and Daniel took a romantic mini break where they awkwardly run into Mark.

The grand country club and spa is found in Buckinghamshire and you don't have to book a room to enjoy the facilities.

Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason

Filming for the second film took the cast and crew to both Austria and Thailand - but there are still plenty of UK destinations to see too.

For anyone wanting to hang out with Bridget's friends, Shazza, Tom and Jude, then head to The Light Bar in Shoreditch - although they're unlikely to be there.

The local hang out for the group was on Shoreditch High Street and the renovated drinks hotspot set in an old Victorian power station is still open for a drink and a gossip today.

The fight between Daniel and Mark for the second film where both of them end up brawling in a water fountain was meant to look like the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens.

The scene was actually filmed five minutes up the road in the Italian Gardens at Lancaster Gate.

Most fight scenes are choreographed, but this one the actors were just asked to fight each other!

Bridget Jones' Baby

The opening for the third film began with the sad, and yet still hilarious, funeral of Daniel Cleaver.

The funeral scenes were filmed in the beautiful St Clement Danes Church on the Strand. It's completely free to visit and has extraordinary architecture to admire.

At the very end of film (spoiler alert), Bridget finally ties the knot with Mark at the Saint Lawrence Church in West Wycombe.

This Buckinghamshire setting is a real wedding venue, it's not always open to visitors but anyone is welcome to explore the grounds and views of Chiltern Hills.
