Overview

All Harry Potter fans want to visit platform 9 ¾ at St. Pancras train station. But it's far from the only place where the famous series was filmed. On this walk you'll learn where to find the Hole Cauldron, where Gringotts Bank is, and where to catch the Knight Bus. We'll also talk about other less obvious prototypical locations of magical London and their equally fascinating history. After all, there really is a bit of magic in London.

We'll remember London's most colourful historical events. Who founded the city and when? How did a devastating fire completely change it? We'll walk across Tower Bridge and tell you how it was sold. We'll say hello to the Tower's ravens, take a peek at a pirate galleon and find out why phone booths and buses in London are red. Even if you haven't seen a single Harry Potter film, you'll still be interested! Welcome to our tour!
