Bridget Jones's Flat

Above the Globe Tavern in Borough Market sits the apartment that served as the home of Bridget Jones in the film adaptation of the book. The building dates to the mid nineteenth century and originally functioned as a grocery warehouse serving the bustling market trade below. Its brick facade and distinctive windows provided the authentic look needed for a film focused on the daily life of a London professional. The proximity of the apartment to the market stalls below illustrates the way the area transitioned from a purely industrial trading hub to a residential space for those working in the city.
