A Muggle's Guide to Harry Potter Walking Tour in London
London, United Kingdom
Keep your wand at the ready and 'disapparate' (teleport) into the wizarding world of Harry Potter. You'll see a side of London that most muggles miss during this 2.5-hour walking tour of filming sights made famous by the movie adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s much-loved masterpiece. The Leaky Cauldron, Platform 9 3/4 at King’s Cross, and Diagon Alley are all along your guided route.
Hunt for the entryway to the Leaky Cauldron, visit the real-life inspiration for Diagon Alley, and jump like a chocolate frog into a side of London that most muggles (non-wizarding or non-magical people) don't know about. Whether you’re a wizard, witch, or squib (aka wizard-born), you’ll be certain to see London at its most magical during this 2.5-hour walking tour of filming sites for the famous Harry Potter series.
Grab your robes, don your house colors, and meet your guide in central London (invisibility cloaks, time turners, and Hippogriffs are strictly forbidden!). Relive the thrill of Harry Potter’s broom ride along the River Thames and see if you can catch the Knight Bus. Learn whether you're a sneaky Slytherin or a gallant Gryffindor, before you look out for the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 3/4.
Your guide accompanies you on a ride on the London Underground from Westminster to King's Cross (your ticket is not included), before your tour ends.
Took this tour one Sunday with my ten year-old and husband, and what a great way to see the city! George was our guide, and in addition to all the Harry Potter tidbits, we also learned a great deal about other aspects of the city and the surroundings--from Dicken's Olde Curiosity Shoppe to Covent Garden, Trafalgar, Whitehall and more. George was fun, friendly, clearly knowledgeable, and this tour was the perfect orientation to several days of further sightseeing in London. Highly recommend!!

Our experience was fantastic! Tom was our guide. He was incredible. He not only was Harry Potter knowledgeable but also gave us great insight to the landmarks that gave J.K.Rowling her inspiration for many of the ideas that made the books so wonderful. Another awesome thing about Tom was his concern for safety. The busy streets of London can be quite intimidating for a tourist, but Tom always kept us close together and navigated the city very safely. An amazing experience. Thanks again Tom! Wyatt and Erin
