Itinerary

Piccadilly Circus

15 min

See where Harry, Ron and Hermione apparate to escape from the Death Eaters after the wedding and then we'll follow in the footsteps of the famous trio through the West End.
Leicester Square

10 min

See where the red carpet premieres are for Harry Potter and all the other big movies.
Cecil Court

15 min

Walk down one of the inspirations for Diagon Alley and see the only place in the world where you can buy Harry Potter money! Afterwards we will pass through the edges of Covent Garden, past the second most narrow street in London.
Goodwin's Court

5 min

Enter here if you dare!
Trafalgar Square

10 min

One of the most famous locations in the world for Muggles but we remember it most as the Death Eaters flew overhead.
Westminster Abbey

5 min

Hopefully we will get through the ticket barriers at Westminster Station and have better luck than Mr. Weasley!
Aldwych Area

10 min Admission not included

Here is where we will find Gringotts Bank which we can see from the outside.
Whitehall

15 min

This is the part of London where all the government buildings are. Of course we have to go see the Ministry of Magic and where Hermione put the stunning spell on Mafalda Hopkirk. We will also see where the Staff Entrance is but normally it is hard to get in :-)
Borough Market

15 min

There is so much to see... and eat... in Borough Market but of course are here to see the Leaky Cauldron
London Bridge

15 min

From this famous old bridge we can see where our heroes flew in the Flight of the Phoenix film and learn one of the mistakes from the movies.
The Monument to the Great Fire of London

5 min Admission not included

It's not strictly Harry Potter but it is amazing at what the Muggles can do.
Leadenhall Market

15 min

Follow in the footsteps of Harry and Hagrid as we head to Ollivanders
Platform 9 3/4

15 min

We will get to see from a distance the actual filming location for Platform 9 3/4 and of course the now equally famous Platform 9 3/4 where you can pose for a photo as you go to Hogwarts or alternatively just go crazy in the Harry Potter shop :-)
Millennium Bridge

10 min

Let's hope the Death Eaters don't attack again on this famous bridge across the River Thames
