Fans will undoubtedly recognize this as the location of Platform 9 & 3/4, a prominent train platform throughout the films. Although you won’t be hopping on the Hogwarts Express this time, the magical world of wizardry will come to life as you take in this iconic filming location.

A short ride later, and your driver will bring you to Leadenhall Street, famously known as the filming location which brought Diagon Alley to life! Of course, no Potterhead could resist the opportunity to stroll along this legendary street. Hop out of your taxi and take it in before moving on to your next thrilling stop of the tour!

Continue diving into Harry Potter’s magical universe as your guide leads you to the Australia House. Fans will immediately recognize this stunning building as Gringotts Wizarding Bank! Feel free to hop out and marvel at this very familiar site, though with far less goblins than you’re used to!

Next, drive through more of the city’s enchanting streets before arriving to the lively Leadenhall Market. Feel transported to a world of magic as you approach the famous blue door of The Leaky Cauldron.

Potterheads will also remember this as the setting for the opening battle scene in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, as Death Eaters flew over the city.

Admire the St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel

As your guide brings you to the St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel, Harry Potter’s magical universe will come to life. The hotel’s breathtaking, Gothic facade was represented as the entrance to the King’s Cross Station in the Chamber of Secrets and the Deathly Hallows-Part 2. Whip out you camera to snap a photo of the buildings impressive architecture, before hopping back in your taxi for your next iconic site!

See Where the Extravagant Yule Ball Took Place

Now, your guide will lead you to the immaculate Victoria and Albert Museum, the world’s biggest museum of applied arts, decorative arts, and design.

Admire the legendary locale where Hogwarts’s extravagant holiday celebration came to life, being sure to snap a few photos before moving on to the next exciting stop.

Explore Famous Locations from Deathly Hallows-Part 1

For the next few stops, your guide will focus on bringing Deathly Hallows-Part 1 to life. First, marvel at the beauty of St. Paul’s Cathedral, an iconic landmark within London. Potterheads, however, will recognize this treasured site as the wedding location of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour!
