What To Expect

Make your way to the Westminster Tube Station, where this tour begins, and meet a guide and small group for the walk to the first location of the day, the "Ministry of Magic." In Harry Potter’s world, the Ministry of Magic is deep underground, and wizards access it by riding a magical red telephone booth—just like the ones that are all over modern-day London.

You’ll spot the entrance to the "Leaky Cauldron" pub at the entrance to "Diagon Alley": before the “Statute of Secrecy” that banned non-wizards, both muggles and wizards could gather in the pub for pickled eel and bowls of soup. Continue down "Diagon Alley", then stand in the spot where Death Eaters destroyed the Millennium Bridge.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share the magic behind the film locations, and how the real world London cityscape helped inspired the books. This Harry Potter walking tour concludes at "Platform 9 ¾" at King's Cross—the last stop before Hogwarts.

Not just for Harry Potter fans!

Renae_G, July 2023

Our tour guide, Simon, was amazing! I knew next to nothing about Harry Potter, but was there for my teenage grandson, who is a fan, so I expected to just sort of enjoy the walk. Simon made the tour and sites so interesting, though, that I am looking forward to actually watching the movies or reading the books in the future. All of the younger participants were enthralled as Simon engaged them in trivia questions, helped us figure out which "house" we fit in, and described how movie set directors changed what we were looking at into what was seen in the films, with great photos to compare to. The personal audio equipment made hearing everything possible on the noisy London streets. It was the highlight of my grandson's visit to London!

Roman our guide was very knowledgeable, funny and kept everyone observed in the story of Harry Potter, it was our daughters birthday yesterday and she thoroughly enjoyed it

Great tour if your not a Harry Potter...

Amy-Lyn Z, Sept 2018

Great tour if your not a Harry Potter fan. You have to get tube tickets and be prepared to walk but you will see and learn more about London than the London in one day tour. You will also see some really interesting parts of London you wouldnt think about going to. Our guide was great. When you get to kings cross take time to explore and visit platform 9 3/4. You will be on your own from there so plan some things for your way back to the hotel!

Darlene G, Oct 2017

Great tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about both Harry Potter as well as the city of London. The tour included various spots that were used in the films as well as streets and landmarks that inspired various aspects of the movies. When we were not viewing filming locations, our guide we talk to use about the city and various landmarks that we came across. You take the tube twice during the tour to help get to some of the locations so make sure you have a travel card or a valid zone 1 ticket for the tube. The tour end at platform 9 3/4. I would highly recommend this tour for all HP fans.

Ótimo passeio!

Claudia_Y, May 2023

Passeamos por várias ruas interessantes de Londres que não veriamos se não fosse o tour. O nosso guia foi ótimo, bem claro e objetivo nas informações e divertido ao contar fatos interessantes sobre a história de Londres. Ele também foi gentil o bastante para nos acomodar no grupo da tarde, já que haviamos perdido o tour da manhã. Obrigada!

Response from Host, May 2023

Oi Claudia_Y, Obrigado por compartilhar sua experiência de passear pelas fascinantes ruas de Londres no passeio. É maravilhoso saber que você descobriu e explorou várias ruas interessantes que, de outra forma, você poderia ter perdido. Ter um guia experiente e envolvente pode realmente aprimorar a experiência, e fico feliz em saber que seu guia foi ótimo. Suas informações claras e objetivas, aliadas à capacidade de compartilhar fatos divertidos e intrigantes sobre a história de Londres, devem ter tornado o passeio ainda mais agradável. Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback. Estamos ansiosos para vê-lo novamente em breve. Muitas felicidades Evan Evans
