The best way to explore popular filming locations is by opting for a guided Harry Potter walking tour. Your experience will provide a professional, multilingual tour guide who will accompany you along the way to all the filming locations, all the while revealing interesting trivia and tidbits about the Harry Potter universe. The tour guide will take you to locations like St. Paul’s Cathedral, Borough Market, Millennium Bridge and more.
While on a Harry Potter walking tour, you can explore all the popular filming locations, be it King’s Cross Station or Trafalgar Square. Another way to enhance your step into the magical world of witchcraft and wizardry is by opting for combo tours. Opt for a Harry Potter walking tour with a cruise on River Thames and get a wonderful view of London’s skyline, including the spectacular London Eye.
The vibrant city of London is home to an abundance of locations where famous scenes from the Harry Potter films have been shot. Remember the stunning staircase that led up to the Divination classrooms? That’s from inside the St. Paul’s Cathedral! And the glasshouse where Harry befriended a Boa Constrictor? That was shot inside the Reptile House at London Zoo. Here are a few of the most popular filming locations in London that you would visit while on a Harry Potter walking tour.
In the wizarding world, King’s Cross Station has symbolically been a part of pivotal moments in Harry’s life. Be it when he asks the Weasleys how to get onto Platform 9 ¾, thereby establishing a life-long relationship with them, to the era-defining conversation with Dumbledore after Voldemort’s killing curse backfired in Book 7. Visit the station and step onto Platform 9¾ to relive those memorable moments.
Diagon Alley is always brimming with witches and wizards, hurrying about shopping for magical supplies. Experience the hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley at Leadenhall Market in London. The narrow street is lined with quaint little shops displaying and selling rare, unusual items. There are plenty of Harry Potter easter eggs hidden: keep an eye out for memorabilia, including banknotes from Gringotts.
We all remember Gringotts -- the intimidating, Goblin-run wizarding bank, delicately put as, “yeh’d be mad ter try an’ rob it,” by Hagrid. Scenes between Harry and Hagrid during the first film where they enter Gringotts Bank were shot inside the Exhibition Room at the Australia House. The long tables, bright and heavy lighting served as the perfect backdrop to introduce viewers to an establishment run by Goblins.
Life in the wizarding world deteriorated rapidly once Voldemort started rapidly gaining power at the end of Harry’s 5th Year. This was signified in the movies by showcasing a hostile takeover by the Death Eaters -- by destroying a bridge full of innocent muggles. This scene was shot on the Millenium Bridge in London; a location you can walk along and picture Fenrir Greyback taking control.
