Step by Step
This guided walking tour of the Harry Potter locations in London is the ideal choice for those who want to relive scenes from the series whilst discovering the city in a different way. The tour begins at Gail’s Bakery (Millennium Bridge area), right in the city centre, where you’ll meet your guide and the rest of the group before venturing into the most magical part of London.
Over the course of the 3-hour tour, you’ll recognise settings linked to the wizarding world: the Leaky Cauldron from *The Philosopher’s Stone* and *The Prisoner of Azkaban*, the Millennium Bridge ravaged by the Death Eaters, spots connected to the Order of the Phoenix’s move, and places that evoke Divination lessons or the Unforgivable Curses. The guide will explain how the scenes were filmed, what you see on screen and what actually belongs to real-life London.
You’ll also visit the area around Gringotts Bank, the vicinity of the Ministry of Magic, the Harry Potter Theatre, and squares such as Leicester Square, where you’ll discover details and connections to the saga’s universe. It’s an entertaining way to stroll through the heart of London whilst linking each building to a specific scene.
The tour ends at the legendary Platform 9¾ at King’s Cross, where you can take the obligatory photo trying to walk through the wall on your way to the Hogwarts Express. After hours of anecdotes, filming trivia and nods to the books and films, you’ll leave with the feeling of having walked amongst wizards and Muggles in equal measure.
Reviews
- II.An entertaining tour, well explained and with quite a few recognisable spots. I ended up tired, of course, but with the feeling that I had made good use of the afternoon.
- VV.Very cool walk and a very good closing at King's Cross. I just had the feeling that some areas were quite crowded, but that didn't spoil anything.
- HH.Quite a bit better than I expected. I'm not an ultra fan, but I got into the story quickly and ended up really enjoying the tour of the locations.
- AA.I went alone and felt comfortable throughout the tour. The group was friendly and the guide made sure that no one was left behind or missed any details.
