London has long been a backdrop for some of the world’s most beloved films, and the latest instalment of Bridget Jones is no exception. As Universal Pictures brings back the iconic rom-com heroine, the production required seamless location management to capture the city’s vibrant and diverse settings.
That’s where FilmApp played a crucial role in streamlining the film permit process, ensuring that everything ran smoothly for the production and location crew.
Filming Across London’s Most Iconic Locations
The filming of Bridget Jones’s latest adventure, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, took the crew to some of London’s most recognisable and picturesque areas. The production team used FilmApp to manage permits across multiple film offices, including: Camden, Barnet, Richmond, Southwark, Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham. Iconic locations within these boroughs included Borough Market, Petersham House, Tower Bridge, Hampstead Heath and Portobello Market to name a few.
