The Globe, 8 Bedale Street, SE1

Beneath the railway lines alongside Borough Market. Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) lives her singleton life above the Globe in Bridget Jones’s Diary, and again in Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason. The pub appeared far less cosy as the sleazy ‘Critchley Hotel’ in the 1992 Michael Caine-Bob Hoskins caper movie Blue Ice.

Across the street you can see the shops which were transformed into the cab office, the newsagent and, of course, at 5 Bedale Street (now Bedale’s wine shop), the fictitious Greek restaurant where Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) and Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) slug it out during a birthday party. Bridget plods glumly through Borough Market in her Bunny Girl outfit after discovering Daniel with ‘Lara, from the New York Office’.
