The Bridget Jones franchise, created by Helen Fielding, has become iconic, reflecting societal changes over the years. A recent report from Rightmove highlights a significant increase in the average asking price for a one-bedroom flat in Borough, London, rising by 195% since 2001. This jump illustrates the rising costs of living in London as Bridget navigates her romantic escapades. Despite her ups and downs in love, Bridget's property journey showcases her growth. The impact of long-running franchises like Bridget Jones serves as a lens to view the evolving landscape of property prices.
In the final film, her home is in London's leafy Hampstead, where the average asking price for a property is 1,548,278.
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.
