Bridget Jones’s fictional flat has nearly tripled in price since it was featured in the first film, released in 2001.
Created by author Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones's Diary is a series of romantic comedy books that later turned into films that gained worldwide attention.
The story follows a single woman who writes a diary to focus on how she wants to change her life, but when Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver appear in her life, Bridget's life gets a lot more exciting.
The film series sees Renée Zellweger as the title character, starring alongside Colin Firth and Hugh Grant.
Now a property website Rightmove found the average asking price for a one-bedroom flat in Borough, London, the heart of Bridget’s romantic escapades, has jumped by 195%.

Steve Pimblett, chief data officer at Rightmove, said: “Long-spanning franchises like Bridget Jones are a reminder just how much things have changed over the years, including property prices.
“While Bridget may be portrayed as not always having it quite together, looking back, a one-bedroom flat in the heart of London was a real achievement.”
