Stop 1
The walking tour has a lot to offer the true Harry Potter fan. Start your fantasy adventure in the London Borough of Camden and head off to King’s Cross Station to find a real Platform 9¾, between platforms 9 and 10, from which the Hogwarts Express starts. Find out where the platform you’ve seen in the movie is located in real life.
You can find some souvenirs for you and your kids by the railway station. Be entertained by the stories of your guide telling you about the shooting and other interesting facts about the movie making. Take a stroll through the station to see some familiar locations, like where Hagrid gave a boy-wizard his ticked to Hogwarts. Admire the wonderful 19th-century building of St. Pancras hotel that was used to show the exteriors for Kings Cross Station.

Explore the locations, which inspired J.K. Rowling and then the filmmakers on creating the Diagon Alley and Knokturn Alley, where the boy started his journey to become a wizard. If you look carefully there is a little alleyway that truly goes diagonally to the main street. Sneak through the back door of a pub to find London’s second narrowest street.

Stop 3
Reveal the site where the scenes of the Ministry of Magic were filmed. Find some differences between real-life locations and the movie. If you remember it was the Westminster station, where in the order of the Phoenix, Harry comes with Arthur Weasley to face the tribunal for having used their magic in public.
This tour not only will show you the Harry Potter sites but also will give you another image of London. If you are a great fun of the movies, and never had a chance to meander the streets of the capital, this is just the right choice! Get to know the sites where J.K. Rowling got inspired, and maybe experience the same feeling. Be amazed at what degree real London inspirited the Harry Potter books and movies.
Have fun while answering the quizzes and taking part in the interactive activities.

Being on a private tour a have a benefit to maneuver the busy streets and touristic sights to approach your spot. A passionate guide will deftly help you with transportation leaving you only enjoying your adventure.
5
Move forward to find the Leaky Cauldron, a small dingy-looking inn on Charing Cross Road, located between a record and book stores. No pubs on Charing Cross Road match the description exactly, but you can play a game and decide for yourself which one will be the Leaky Cauldron as it was shot in different places. Continue to the Charing Cross Road to treat yourself with some Harry Potter sweets in Hardy’s sweet shop. You may also walk down some nearby alleyways with a lot of book shops, which will make you remember.
