Becky made this tour unforgettable with her personal attention and extensive knowledge of the area’s rich and complex history. Lunch and conversation felt like time with an old friend. She also helped me find a fantastic book on Black British history and the cutest fabric from a local market shop. It was a meaningful and thoughtful experience I would recommend to anyone!

What you’ll do

Get ready to step into the magical world of the Harry Potter film locations, with an enchanting adventure across London! Guided by a local host who knows all the secret spots, you'll uncover the city's hidden wizarding gems and iconic film locations. Grab your wand, and let's embark on a spellbinding journey that Muggles and wizards alike will adore.

You'll kick off at Westminster Tube Station, Exit 4, by the statue of Winston Churchill. Here, your host will meet you, ready to whisk you away into the magical realm. A short stroll later, you'll arrive at Great Scotland Yard – the very spot used for the visitor's entrance to the Ministry of Magic in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." Stand in awe as you imagine wizards and witches bustling through this iconic entrance, hidden in plain sight!

Next, head to the vibrant Trafalgar Square, just a five-minute walk away. Remember the chaotic Death Eater attack in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"? Feel the thrill and excitement as your host regales you with behind-the-scenes stories right where the action happened. The energy of the square makes it easy to picture the mayhem unfolding.

From there, wander over to Cecil Court, the delightful street that inspired Diagon Alley. With its quaint bookstores and quirky shops, you'll feel like you've stepped straight into the wizarding world. Explore the magical ambiance and perhaps find a rare book or a unique souvenir to remember your visit.

Then, it's time to venture into the darker side of magic at Goodwin's Court. This narrow, atmospheric alleyway served as inspiration for Knockturn Alley. The old-fashioned shopfronts and eerie vibe make it easy to imagine dark wizards lurking in the shadows, dealing in all sorts of forbidden artifacts.

Your adventure then whisks you away on the Tube from Leicester Square to St. Paul's Station. Emerging from the underground, you're greeted by the magnificent St. Paul's Cathedral. Its stunning architecture and iconic dome, featured in many London panoramas from the films, will leave you spellbound.

A short walk takes you to the Millennium Bridge, famously destroyed by Death Eaters in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." As you cross, envision the dramatic scene of the bridge twisting and turning under dark magic—it's a thrilling experience that brings the movie's magic to life.

Next up is the Monument to the Great Fire of London, where the Knight Bus squeezed between two double-decker buses in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." This spot is a fun nod to the magical transportation that had us all wishing for our own triple-decker ride.

The grand finale is the enchanting Leadenhall Market. This stunning Victorian market was used as the location for Diagon Alley and the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." Wander through the beautifully preserved market, soaking up the magical atmosphere, and maybe enjoy a butterbeer as your host reveals fascinating tidbits about the filming locations.

Throughout the experience, your local host will share unique insights and uncover hidden gems, making this magical adventure unforgettable. And remember, if there's something special you'd like to see or do, just let your host know – it's your magical journey, after all!
