About
For fans of J K Rowlings famous young wizard this Wizards London Walk is a perfect way to spend a couple of hours in the British capital exploring Harry Potter London filming locations. Our non-magical guides immerse you into the parts of London fit for a wizard!
Your expert guide who has read many published books and studied all eight movies starring Daniel Radcliffe as the famous young wizard will take you to more than 10 filming locations from the series. Some of these are only visible to those true fans (i.e., with magical powers).
On tour you will learn all about London’s connection to the world of witches and wizards, some might call it a “behind the scenes tour”!
On the Wizards London Walk you will get to see the secret entrance to the Ministry of Magic. You also see the entrances to the Leaky Cauldron pub located in some of Londons oldest markets where both magical and non-magical people mix, the bridge destroyed by the dark evil spirits and much more.
The tour features Harry Potter London film locations as well as iconic London landmarks and attractions across the capital. Iconic sites include St Paul’s Cathedral, Millennium Bridge, Tate Modern, Borough and Leadenhall Markets and Monument.
Along the route of your Wizards London Walk, you’ll have plenty of chances to take lots of pictures and see the film locations up close.
As with all of our walking tours, group sizes are limited to 20 persons. As part of the tour, there will be a short tube journey, so you need either an Oystercard, a contactless card or a Travelcard valid to travel in Zone 1
