Ranger’s House is a historic villa on Chesterfield Walk in Greenwich, London, home to the Wernher Collection of more than 700 works. Inside, look for Renaissance jewels and ceramics, paintings, bronzes and decorative objects arranged through the house. The gardens are another reason to stop, with roses and planted areas around the property. The exterior was used as the Bridgerton family home in the television series. Opening is limited, so check English Heritage’s current schedule before making the trip; you can see the exterior without going inside.
