Lights, camera, travel.

The UK has become a hotspot for movie and prestige TV filming in recent years — so much so that The Hollywood Reporter recently dubbed London “the new Hollywood.”

So if you’re booking a trip across the pond, why not visit several screen-worthy locales while you’re at it? Whether you’re curious about the ballroom from “Bridgerton” or the cathedral from “The Crown,” we’ve compiled a selection of filming locations — and nearby Hilton hotels — below.

This travel destination just might be the diamond of the season. While most of “Bridgerton” was filmed in Bath, the first ball scene of Season 2 was actually shot in Brentford, steps from the Hilton Syon Park.

The Gothic York Minster cathedral served as the setting for Charles and Camilla’s Windsor Castle wedding in the Season 5 finale of “The Crown.” And luckily for royal fans, the DoubleTree by Hilton York is only a 9-minute walk from the 13th-century building.

Can’t bear to miss out on “Paddington”-related sightseeing? The colorful houses on Primrose Hill were used as the famous bear’s home street in both films. The area is a quick taxi ride away from the Hilton London Metropole, which is also within walking distance to London’s actual Paddington station.
