Overview

Still waiting for your Hogwarts letter? Join our Harry Potter Walking Tour of London and explore the real locations that inspired the books and appeared in the films. This fun, family-friendly tour begins outside the Palace Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue, home of The Cursed Child, and takes you through the heart of Westminster.

Stroll along atmospheric streets like Cecil Court and Goodwin’s Court, believed to have inspired the magical world, and visit famous Harry Potter filming locations, including Great Scotland Yard. You’ll also stop at iconic landmarks such as Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square, closely connected to Harry Potter film premieres and wizarding history.

Along the way, your enthusiastic guide will share behind-the-scenes stories, fun trivia, and insider tips on where to find the best Harry Potter shops, wands, and souvenirs in London. You’ll even get the chance to test your knowledge in a Potter-themed quiz.

This 2-hour Harry Potter walking tour finishes near Embankment Station and is perfect for Harry Potter fans, families, couples, and solo travellers.
