Our journey starts where Harry’s did: at King’s Cross Station. Head to the western departures concourse to find the iconic Platform 9¾. Pose with the half-disappeared luggage trolley and relive the moment Harry first entered the magical world. Just next to it, there’s a dedicated Harry Potter shop where you can buy everything from wands to robes. Remember to get there early to beat the queues!

The Victorian covered market in the heart of the city was one of the primary filming locations for Diagon Alley. With its cobbled floors and beautiful old shops, it’s easy to imagine yourself buying magical supplies. Look out for an optician’s in Bull’s Head Passage; it stood as the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron in the movies.

Introduced in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” this pedestrian-only steel suspension bridge offers a panoramic view of the city. While you hopefully won’t experience a Death Eater attack, the breathtaking architecture and views are magical in their own right.

Remember the scene in “The Prisoner of Azkaban” where the Knight Bus squeezes between two London buses? That nail-biting sequence was filmed on Lambeth Bridge. The bridge itself offers stunning views and is a must-visit for every fan.

In “The Deathly Hallows Part 1”, Harry, Ron, and Hermione narrowly avoid a London bus while apparating. That sequence was filmed in the bustling area of Piccadilly Circus. The place is lively, filled with neon signs, theatres, and iconic landmarks, ensuring a mix of magic and modernity.

While the London Underground may seem mundane to locals, for Harry, it was an adventure. Relive the scene from “Order of the Phoenix” by hopping on a tube here.

One of Harry’s earliest encounters with magic was speaking to a Burmese python at London Zoo’s Reptile House. Visit and immerse yourself in that sense of discovery and wonder. Just be careful what you say to the snakes!

Although King’s Cross is the official station for the Hogwarts Express, the exterior shots were filmed at the stunningly Gothic St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel. With its red brick and pointed arches, it captures the magic perfectly.

Located on Strand, Australia House served as the filming location for Gringotts, the only known bank of the wizarding world. While you can’t venture inside to see the goblins, the exterior is enough to give you chills.

This square in Islington stood in for Sirius Black’s family home and the Order of the Phoenix’s headquarters. Walk around and soak in the wizarding world vibes.
