From Bridgerton to Vanity Fair, this august publication invites you to peruse the period drama guide to London

If there’s one thing Brits (and indeed foreign audiences) can’t get enough of, it’s period dramas. Whether it’s the twisting stories of love and betrayal, the exquisite (and exquisitely uncomfortable) frocks or the sight of people who have no understanding of a day’s work snubbing each other over afternoon tea in a gorgeously-decorated parlour, our obsession with these shows lasts long after we’ve finished them.

And why should it, when you can visit some of the most famous sets on television? London is home to some of the most striking and beautiful buildings in the country, and plenty of them have been used to film everything from Bridgerton to Downton Abbey.
