On this tour, you will see where Mary Poppins Returns was filmed, and soon you’ll believe that everything is possible — even the impossible. You’ll discover a street sign that is not as it seems, because a cover is not the book! We will also visit the now famous corner steps where the bird lady sits. We try not to feed the birds, but you can sing to yourself and snap a few photos, too.
