Overview

Whether you’re still waiting for your Hogwarts letter or you’ve long since mastered wand-waving, grab your curiosity and a pinch of pixie dust for a spellbinding Harry Potter tour through London. Witches, wizards, Squibs, and Muggles alike are welcome as we slip through hidden alleys and cobbled streets where the wizarding world quietly shimmers.

We’ll trace the chaotic route of the Knight Bus, step inside the telephone box to the Ministry of Magic, and cross the bridge once destroyed by Voldemort’s Death Eaters. Your Hogwarts graduate guide will duel you with trivia, share filming secrets, and reveal the magic behind every corner.

In this half-day adventure, explore the inspirations behind the Leaky Cauldron, wander Diagon Alley, hunt for Platform 9¾, glimpse Gringotts, Privet Drive, and more magical spots. Wands at the ready. Mischief managed.

What to expect

  1. Leicester Square
    10m
    Step into the heart of movie magic as your guide reveals how London’s film world helped bring the wizarding universe to life on the big screen.
  2. Cecil Court
    15m
    Wander this narrow, book-lined lane said to inspire Diagon Alley, where dusty shopfronts feel just one spell away from selling wands and spellbooks.
  3. Goodwin's Court
    15m
    Slip into this shadowy Georgian passageway whose crooked lanterns and uneven paving feel straight out of Knockturn Alley after dark.
  4. Trafalgar Square
    15m
    Stand where Muggle London collides with magical mayhem, a backdrop used to place wizards secretly among everyday city life.
  5. 15m
    Pause outside the real-life inspiration for the Ministry of Magic’s Muggle-facing disguise — proof that wizarding bureaucracy hides in plain sight.

    It was used as the Visitors Entrance of the Ministry of Magic and featured in a Polyjuice scene.
  6. Lambeth Bridge
    15m
    It is on this bridge that the Knight Bus squeezes through two double decker buses at high speed on its way to the Leaky Cauldron. Magic!
  7. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
    10m
    A key historical monument and the only building with a thatched roof in the capital. Originally the Globe was a vision by Sam Wannamaker whose daughter Zoe Wannamaker incidentally played Madam Hooch in the first Harry Potter movie. This is an exterior stop.
  8. Millennium Bridge
    10m
    Cross the “Wobbly Bridge” made infamous by its dramatic destruction in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
  9. St. Paul's Cathedral
    15m
    Look up at this majestic landmark featured in wizarding London, blending ancient power with cinematic magic. This is an exterior stop.
  10. Borough Market
    20m
    Explore the real streets that doubled as wizarding locations, where everyday London hides magical doorways in plain sight.
  11. Leadenhall Market
    20m
    Step into the real-life Diagon Alley, where filming locations and Victorian architecture make the magic feel wonderfully real.
  12. 30m
    The most famous train station in the world and your chance to visit platform 9 3/4!
