What to Expect...

See real Harry Potter filming locations across central London on a 2-hour guided bus tour. You’ll travel on a purple Routemaster-style bus, hear behind-the-scenes trivia, and stop at selected locations for photos.

This is a sightseeing tour around London’s Harry Potter filming locations and inspirations, not Warner Bros. Studio Tour London. It starts at Embankment and finishes back at Embankment Station, making it easy to fit into a family day in the capital.

Along the way, you’ll spot famous London landmarks and locations linked to the films, including places connected with the Leaky Cauldron, Gringotts and the Ministry of Magic. You’ll also have the chance to test your knowledge with Harry Potter quiz questions on board.
