Dean Street Townhouse

Dean Street Townhouse is the meeting place Roxster suggests when cold weather makes an outdoor date unattractive. Their exchange brings Bridget Jones and Roxster together at the bar on 22 January 2013, where a playful dispute over her tweeting becomes part of their first in-person encounter in this scene.

Choosing the Meeting Place

At 11 p.m., Roxster tweets that it is freezing outside and proposes the bar at Dean Street Townhouse instead. Bridget welcomes the suggestion and confirms that she will meet him there. The brief exchange turns their online flirtation into a specific plan, with the bar offered as a practical alternative to the cold.

The Date at the Bar

When Bridget and Roxster meet, she finds him even more handsome than his photograph and notably merry-looking, as if he might burst out laughing. She is about to reach for her phone to tweet about his lovely voice when he places his hand on the phone and tells her not to tweet. Roxster has already been reading her posts about him and teases her for tweeting about him all the way to the meeting. The bar thus becomes the scene of a small but revealing shift: Bridget’s public commentary gives way to Roxster’s request that she be present with him.
