Harry Potter's London: a magical walk for the whole family
Read the full description
About this tour
We start right at your hotel — no rushing about, no meeting at an address.
Our first stop is the legendary Platform 9¾, where you can have your photo taken with the trolley disappearing off to Hogwarts. Then we take the Tube to the old City — and that is where the real magic begins.
You will find out where Diagon Alley was hidden, see the model for Professor Trelawney's classroom, and pass the magical banks — from Gringotts to the Bank of England. You will also drop in on the Leaky Cauldron and stand on the Millennium Bridge, along which Harry's friends flew on thestrals.
We finish at Westminster tube station, where the Ministry of Magic scenes were shot. Or, if it suits you better, we can end somewhere else in the centre.
