Are you a fan of the Bridget Jones novels
by Helen Fielding or the movies starring Renée Zellweger? If so, you’re probably
looking forward to the latest film in the franchise, Bridget Jones’s Baby,
which opens in North American theatres on Friday. I’m taking a slight detour
from my planned posts to share some photos of London filming locations from the
first two movies, Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001) and Bridget Jones: The Edge of
Reason (2004).

In both movies Bridget is frequently seen
walking across Tower Bridge.

I think she’d also enjoy a pedal bus outing with her mates like these young women (but maybe not while pregnant).

In Bridget Jones’s Diary, Bridget botches
her first TV assignment at the Royal Courts of Justice – until charming
barrister Mark Darcy (played by Colin Firth) comes to her rescue by arranging
an exclusive interview with his client.

Mr. Darcy has a complicated history with another
of Bridget’s suitors, the handsome scoundrel Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant). In the
sequel, the men come to blows in a fistfight in a fountain that was filmed at
Hyde Park’s Italian Gardens.

I can’t wait to see which new filming locations will appear in Bridget Jones’s Baby. Renée Zellweger and Colin Firth will both reprise their roles in the film but Hugh Grant, sadly, will not. Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey will instead co-star as Bridget’s new love interest.
Next week I’ll return with my planned
post on Greenwich.
