Itinerary

St. Pancras London, Autograph Collection

10 min

Our Harry Potter's London Tour begins at Kings Cross, the front gate of St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel where Harry and Ron parked Mr Weasley’s flying Ford Anglia in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets series. You will also learn the history of this magnificent Hotel during the tour. St Pancras Renaissance Hotel is the second marvel of British architecture, known as the Cathedral of railways. It's a monument that turns London into a modern metropolis today.
King's Cross Station

5 min

Kings Cross Station is the starting point of Harry's journey to Hogwarts. This is the shrine of Potterheads in London we should say.
Platform 9 3/4

1 h 30 min

In the world of the wizards, Harry and his friends enter the platform by dashing through the Kings Cross’ brick wall. Platforms 9 and 10 are now separated by tracks in the actual King's Cross, but the good news is Platform 9 3⁄4 is right in the heart of Kings Cross and, yes, there is a wall and a trolley where you can take awesome pictures. Hurrah!... This famous Platform 9 ¾ in Kings Cross Station where you pretend to push an old-time trolley full of luggage through the magical wall on the way to Hogwarts. As you do so, a camera will take your photo so remember to smile! (Waiting time can take up to 90 minutes !)
Harry Potter Shop at Platform 9 3/4

20 min

Whilst others are waiting on the photo line, Potterheads can stroll in Harry Potter's Shop in Kings Cross Station. This is where

A quick break for a time in the official Harry Potter shop where you can find all Harry Potter sealed products exclusively. This lovely shop is the official home of Harry Potter’s Wizarding World merchandise, souvenirs and collectables in London. Many of products are exclusives, and can only be found here and you will love this store.
Stop 5

25 min

It’s time to visit Leaky Cauldron in London’s pretty Leadenhall Market, Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley. You will realize that the store is an optician actually. Remember this is the iconic spot of the conversation between Harry and Hagrid:

“Can we find all this in London?”

“If you know, where to go!”

Leadenhall Market is a covered market in the City of London, designed in 1881, with cheesemongers, butchers, florists, and some commercial retailers. Harry Potter and Rubeus Hagrid passed through Leadenhall Market on their way to the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley on 31 July, 1991. It's the birthday of the writer J.K. Rowling and also Harry found out he was a wizard.
The Monument to the Great Fire of London

30 min Admission not included

With a very short walk, we shall visit the Monument and climb the stairs. Why? So that you can see both Tower Bridge and HMS Belfast. You will remember both sites from while Harry Potter flies over the Thames in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film. It’s an optional extension if you require. Before you visit Westminster Tube Station, you will go to the Millennium Bridge that was destroyed by Death Eaters and Fenrir Greyback. You will also be able to see Tate Modern there.

Actually The Monument to the Great Fire of London, more commonly known simply as the Monument, is a Doric column in London, United Kingdom, situated near the northern end of London Bridge. Commemorating the Great Fire of London, it stands at the junction of Monument Street and Fish Street Hill, 202 feet (62 m) in height and 202 feet west of the spot in Pudding Lane where the Great Fire started on 2 September 1666. Constructed between 1671 and 1677, it was built on the site of St. Margaret's, Fish Street, the first church to be destroyed by the Great Fire. The Monument comprises a fluted Doric column built of Portland stone topped with a gilded urn of fire. It was designed by Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke. Its height marks its distance from the site of the shop of Thomas Farriner (or Farynor), the king's baker, where the blaze began. Hear the story of how London missed its opportunity to be a highly planned city of all times.
Stop 7

5 min

Being close to Temple station, you will go to Gringotts Wizarding Bank where dozens of goblins work under cobwebbed chandeliers. That's the Australia House in Strand we see in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Today, Gringotts Wizarding Bank is The High Commission of Australia in London is the diplomatic mission of Australia in the United Kingdom. It is located in Australia House and it was Australia's first diplomatic mission and is the longest continuously occupied diplomatic mission in the United Kingdom.
Westminster Station

10 min

Time to pass Westminster Tube Station where Mr Arthur Weasley struggles to pass through the gates on the way to the Ministry of Magic. Like Harry, you will use your travelcards to pass through the gates. The station is closed very first time for WB's shot.
Stop 9

15 min

A short walk through London’s landmark will bring us to the entrance of the Ministry of Magic again from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. You will realize that there is no red telephone box and public toilets where they flushed themselves but you know that, they were there and it's the entrance of the Ministry of Magic. Let's explore together.
Horse Guards Building

30 min

If our tour schedule fits, our APTG qualified guides will be very happy to take you to one of the best royal rituals in the city. Explore the official entrance to St James and Buckingham Palace, since the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660. Lifeguards have stood guard at Horse Guards and ready to offer you a true British ceremony. Although Changing The Queen's Lifeguard is not as well-known as Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace smaller crowds and no railings between you and the men and horses taking part make it ideal for those with younger children and those looking for some amazing pictures. The ceremony lasts about half an hour, and the mounted sentries change every hour, or half-hour in very cold weather during the day until 16:00 when a dismounting ceremony takes place.
Piccadilly Circus

30 min

Our final destination for today is vibrant Piccadilly Circus. This is where our hero trio goes on the Run from Death Eaters at Bill and Fleur’s wedding in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry, Ron and Hermione apparated straight to Piccadilly Circus where our tour terminates.
