Fans of the popular series Bridgerton were thrilled this week with the release of the much-anticipated ‘wedding episode’ in series three. The stunning event took place in the Chapel of St Peter and St Paul in Greenwich, where characters Penelope Featherington, played by Nicola Coughlan, and Colin Bridgerton, portrayed by Luke Newton, exchanged vows.
The picturesque 245-year-old chapel, part of the Old Royal Naval College site, was beautifully adorned with pastel-coloured floral arches for the on-screen nuptials. This historic venue, originally designed by the famed architect Sir Christopher Wren, who also designed St Paul’s Cathedral, provided a breathtaking backdrop for the romantic scene. Following a fire, the chapel was rebuilt in 1779 by James ‘Athenian’ Stuart, preserving its neo-classical elegance.
Fans had speculated about the filming location after spotting Nicola Coughlan leaving the chapel in February last year. The latest episodes, released on June 13, confirm the rumours, showcasing the chapel’s ornate ceilings, striking black and white flooring, and grand interiors.
The chapel is not just a filming location; it is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm for visitors and prayer. It also hosts regular musical events and recitals, which are ticketed, providing a serene and cultural experience for all who visit.
Greenwich has been a consistent choice for Bridgerton’s filming locations, with The Ranger’s House and other parts of the Old Royal Naval College also featured in various scenes throughout the series. Fans of the show can immerse themselves in the Bridgerton world by visiting these iconic locations.
Bridgerton continues to captivate audiences with its romantic tales set in Regency London, and the beautiful settings like Greenwich’s Chapel of St Peter and St Paul add to the show’s enchanting allure.
