Hilton UK is promoting stays near eight well‑known British filming locations, offering travelers easy access to sites featured in productions from Bridgerton to Game of Thrones, according to a piece published Monday by Decider and reposted by the New York Post.
The recommendations pair specific Hilton and DoubleTree by Hilton properties with nearby sets and landmarks, a strategy that aligns with growing interest in film and television tourism after the United Kingdom recorded nearly 500 new productions beginning in 2022. The Decider story, written by commerce reporter Angela Tricarico, notes the options as potential autumn holiday itineraries and discloses affiliate links for bookings.
Among the pairings is the Hilton London Metropole for fans of Paddington. The article points to Chalcot Crescent in the Primrose Hill neighborhood, whose candy‑colored Georgian Regency facades stood in for the Brown family’s street, and notes the hotel’s convenient walking connection to Paddington Station.
DoubleTree by Hilton Bath is recommended for visitors aiming to see locations used in the 2023 film Wonka. The story lists the Abbey, Parade Gardens, The Colonnades, Walcot Street and Bath Street as nearby filming sites within walking distance of the Bath hotel.
For Harry Potter enthusiasts, Hilton London Watford is highlighted for its proximity to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter exhibition; the hotel sits roughly four miles from the studios and offers a short train or drive into London for additional landmarks tied to the franchise.
The Bridgerton series is represented by the Hilton London Syon, which occupies part of the 200‑acre Syon Park estate in Brentford. Decider notes that the first ball in Season 2 was filmed on location at the 16th‑century house and gardens, and that the hotel allows guests to stay on the estate where scenes were shot.
Dozens of British manors and churches have doubled for royal settings in Netflix’s The Crown. Decider points to York Minster — the 13th‑century Gothic cathedral that stood in for Windsor Castle in the series finale — and recommends the DoubleTree by Hilton York, about a nine‑minute walk from the Minster.
Peaky Blinders locations and related tours make Birmingham a focal point for fans of the period crime drama. The Hilton Birmingham Metropole is suggested as a base for visitors exploring sites tied to the show and to the historical street gang that inspired it.
London’s role in the James Bond films is cited with a recommendation for the London Hilton on Park Lane, which the article says provides a short walk to the MI6 British Secret Intelligence Service building on the Thames. The hotel also served as a filming location for Alfred Hitchcock’s 1972 thriller Frenzy.
Northern Ireland remains a destination for Game of Thrones travelers. Decider recommends the Hilton Belfast as a central lodging choice for day trips to Tollymore Forest Park, the Dark Hedges and the Glens of Antrim, all of which were used as Westeros locations.
The piece frames the hotel tie‑ins as a convenience for fans seeking to visit physical sets and landmarks. It follows a broader industry trend in which production activity and fan interest have boosted demand for location‑based travel experiences in the United Kingdom.
The Decider article provides practical notes on walking distances and transit access for each pairing and discloses that it may receive affiliate commissions for bookings made through links. The story does not state that Hilton is offering a dedicated promotional package tied to the article; it presents the property recommendations as options for travelers looking to combine sightseeing with visits to familiar filming sites.
Travelers seeking to visit these locations are advised to check site opening hours, tour availability and local transport options when planning itineraries, as access and schedules for historic properties and studio exhibitions can vary seasonally.
