The Muggles tour of Harry Potter film locations in London
Duration
3.5 Hours
Description
Harry Potter may have been raised in very dull Little Whingeing, but very exciting central London is where you'll discover many of the real film locations you see in Harry Potter films.
Close enough to one another to drive, this tour taxis from location to location so that you can see, stand next to and sometimes walk in the actual places where Muggles fear to tread.
Walk diagonally through Diagon Alley, stand fractionally closer to Platform 9 ¾ or deposit yourself outside Gringotts Bank. They are all featured on this tour of the real film locations. There is nothing imaginary about this tour.
Everyone welcome, except for Deatheaters!
