From the stunning residency of the Sharmas, to the picturesque grandeur of the Featherington residence, all of us have found ourselves dreaming of walking the regency-era halls – so let’s see how much they would cost today.
1. Queen Charlotte’s Residence – Monthly rent: £5,424,233
Real life location: Hampton Court Palace, Richmond, London
Value: £493,112,101
Cultural Premium: £117,520,365
Monthly rent: £5,424,233
Key facts: Boasting approx 47,000m2, Hampton Court Palace is perfect for Bridgertons queen, and equipped with more than enough room for a royal ball or three. The pre-regency era palace was graced by Henry VIII himself – which could explain its kitchen large enough to cook for 1,000 people.

2. The Duke and Duchess’ Residence, Season 1 – Monthly Rent: £2,446,904

Key facts: A key event in season 1 was the marriage of Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Basset, which saw them move to the fictional Clyvedon Castle to begin their short-lived fairytale – but the property is actually named Castle Howard in York. The magnificent 140-room home took a staggering 100 years to build, so it’s no surprise that the monthly rent at this divine castle would cost you over two million pounds.

This Gentlemans Club is no stranger to the spotlight, as it has also been included in The King’s Speech and Downton Abbey.
