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 walking tour. Witches, wizards, Squibs, and Muggles alike are welcome as we slip through hidden alleys and cobbled streets where the wizarding world quietly shimmers just beneath the surface.
We’ll trace the chaotic route of the Knight Bus, step inside the telephone box entrance to the Ministry of Magic, and cross the bridge once torn apart by Voldemort’s Death Eaters. Along the way, your Hogwarts-graduate guide will duel you with trivia, share behind-the-scenes filming secrets, and reveal how everyday London was transformed into wizarding Britain.
In this half-day adventure, uncover the real-world inspirations behind the Leaky Cauldron, wander the streets that became Diagon Alley, spot Gringotts and Privet Drive locations, and discover magical moments hiding in plain sight. Wands at the ready. Mischief managed.
