My 9 year old and I both loved this tour. Our guide Sam was great, very friendly and very knowledgeable. Lots of new things to learn, even for the biggest Harry Potter fan.

Spend 3 magical hours living your Hogwarts dreams on a Harry Potter walking tour through London’s famous filming locations.

Begin your adventure by arriving early at King’s Cross Station, home to Platform 9¾, and snap a souvenir photo before the crowds arrive.

Follow a fellow Potterhead guide to over 10 legendary sites while listening to stories and lesser-known facts about the filming locations.

Discover where the Ministry of Magic entrance was filmed and see the original location of the red telephone box near the UK Ministry of Defence.

Wander the streets that inspired Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley while taking in landmarks such as Big Ben and Westminster along the way.

Lovely walk, the guide had a few screenshots from the film that he held up to compare to different street scenes which was fun!
