You can find some souvenirs for you and your kids by the railway station. Be entertained by the stories of your guide telling you about the shooting and other interesting facts about the movie making. Take a stroll through the station to see some familiar locations, like where Hagrid gave a boy-wizard his ticked to Hogwarts. Admire the wonderful 19th-century building of St. Pancras hotel that was used to show the exteriors for Kings Cross Station. -
