Overview

Itinerary

1. Stop 1 · 20m

   Your journey starts at Leadenhall Market, a stunning Victorian covered market that transformed into the bustling Diagon Alley. As you step into this mesmerizing location, you can almost hear the clinking of coins as witches and wizards gather around for their magical supplies. In the film, this is where Harry and Hagrid enter to find the hidden entrance to Diagon Alley. You’ll visit the very spot where Harry first lays eyes on the magical world’s wonders, such as Ollivanders Wand Shop. Keep your eyes peeled for hidden signs and clues — this isn’t just a market, it’s a portal to a magical world!

2. Stop 2 · 15m

   Venture to Scotland Place, where the grand entrance to the Ministry of Magic can be found. This location was used in the Harry Potter films to depict the towering, underground structure where wizards and witches govern magical affairs. Picture yourself entering the Ministry through the iconic telephone booth — just like Harry did in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. You’ll learn about the wizarding world’s different departments and, perhaps, imagine what it would be like to work for the Ministry as a wizarding employee!

3. Stop 3 · 20m

   No Harry Potter tour would be complete without a visit to King's Cross Station and the legendary Platform 9¾. This bustling station is where Harry and his friends begin their magical journey to Hogwarts each year. Stand in the spot where Harry and Ron crashed the flying car into the station’s walls or where the trolley witch pushes her trolley towards the barrier. Here, you can pose for a photo at the iconic Platform 9¾ sign and feel the thrill of heading off to Hogwarts yourself!

4. Stop 4 · 20m

   Next, we’ll head to the enchanting Lincoln's Inn Fields, the backdrop for the iconic scenes of the Great Hall in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Imagine yourself at the long tables, sorting into your house while the magical ceiling mirrors the night sky above. This location doesn’t just mimic the grandeur of the Hogwarts Great Hall but offers a chance to hear fascinating behind-the-scenes stories about the making of the films.

5. Stop 5 · 20m

   A visit to Borough Market is sure to satisfy your magical cravings! This vibrant market served as the inspiration for some of the movie’s most delicious moments — especially scenes that take place in the famous Leaky Cauldron. Imagine sipping Butterbeer and nibbling on magical treats. While here, you’ll hear fun facts about magical food and drink from the films, plus try to figure out which stalls might sell what you could find in the wizarding world.

6. Stop 6 · 15m

   Finally, you’ll take a trip to St. Pancras Station, the home of the magical Knight Bus, where passengers can experience a very bumpy ride through London’s streets! While the real station is a breathtaking architectural marvel, St. Pancras has doubled as the filming location for several key scenes involving the magical bus. Imagine squeezing through the packed bus to take your seat, then heading off on an adventure full of magical mayhem. You’ll also hear all about the delightful characters from the Knight Bus, like the driver Stan Shunpike.

7. Stop 7 · 15m

   As your magical journey comes to an end, you’ll stop at Trafalgar Square. The square was the site of many moments of triumph and sorrow in the films, including the final battle of Hogwarts. As you stand at the foot of Nelson’s Column, imagine the forces of good and evil clashing around you. You’ll learn how filmmakers created the dramatic scenes set in London and how the final battle marked the end of Harry’s long journey.
