About this Event

Calling all witches, wizards, and curious Muggles! Join our Harry Potter Walking Tour of London and explore the magical locations that inspired the books and appeared in the films.

Starting outside the Palace Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue, where Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is performed, this guided tour takes you through the heart of London to uncover Harry Potter filming locations, hidden inspirations, and fascinating behind-the-scenes stories.

You’ll wander down enchanting streets like Cecil Court and Goodwin’s Court, often linked to the inspiration behind Diagon Alley, and visit famous filming locations such as Great Scotland Yard. Along the way, you’ll also stop at iconic London landmarks including Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square, both closely connected to Harry Potter film premieres and events.

Your knowledgeable and entertaining guide will share trivia, fun facts, and stories about J.K. Rowling’s connection to London, as well as insider tips on where to find the best Harry Potter shops, wands, and magical souvenirs in the city. You’ll even get the chance to test your knowledge in a Hogwarts-themed trivia quiz.

This 2-hour Harry Potter tour finishes near Embankment Station and is ideal for Harry Potter fans, families, couples, and solo travellers looking for a fun and immersive experience in London.

Book now and follow in the footsteps of Harry, Hermione, and Ron through magical London!

Please note: groups larger than six people and educational groups must arrange a private tour in advance.

The tour begins from in front of The Palace Theatre, 113 Shaftesbury Ave, London W1D 5AY. https://goo.gl/maps/vYevCSbGGw4Qwn78A

Look for the guide with a red umbrella!
Please be aware that we do not visit The Harry Potter Studios or enter the Palace Theatre, this is a walking tour of Westminster that visits fillming locations from The Harry Potter films and locations that inspired J K Rowling.

The tour operates on a ‘pay what you think it’s worth’ basis. There is no booking fee and no payment is required to join, so that it is accessible to every budget. However our guides are all freelancers who work for tips, so if you enjoy the tour, you are welcome to make a donation at the end. The value is up to you, whatever fits in with you budget and your levels of enjoyment.
