LONDON BRIDGE(T) Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is the UK’s highest-grossing film of the year so far. Although the flick mostly depicts Jones’s life north of the Thames, Renée Zellwegger and co can still be seen frequenting her Southwark stomping grounds from previous films, including the rotund Globe Tavern and Tower Bridge. Clients will get a bird’s-eye view of these locations
on Great Little Breaks’ one-night London City Break. This trip wraps up an overnight stay with London Eye tickets and a river cruise. Bridget Jones fans will have time to explore the spots beloved by the kooky TV producer, such as nearby Borough Market. Should they have more to do in town, this package can be extended, giving time
to hop up to the filming locations in Hampstead as well. Book it: Great Little Breaks sells the one-night London City Break with London Eye trip from £286.60 per two people sharing. Includes accommodation with breakfast, London Eye tickets and a one-way river cruise.
