The Journey
Millennium Bridge
Walk across the Millennium Bridge, a pedestrian suspension bridge offering stunning views of London's skyline. While often mistaken, it's actually Brockdale Bridge (not the Millennium Bridge) that is destroyed by Death Eaters in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", a dark reminder of the escalating conflict in the Muggle world. Beyond its fictional connection, the bridge itself is a modern architectural marvel, linking the City of London with the vibrant Bankside area. Its sleek design and strategic location make it a must-see for architecture enthusiasts and anyone seeking panoramic city views.
Westminster Tube Station
Descend into Westminster Tube Station, a bustling transport hub strategically located near some of London's most iconic landmarks. While in the realm of Harry Potter, the station serves as one of the entrances used by the characters, its real-world significance is rooted in its proximity to the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben. Explore the grandeur of British history and politics before or after your wizarding adventure – all just steps away from this convenient station.
Cecil's Court and Goodwin's Court (Diagon Alley Inspiration)
Wander through the charming alleyways of Cecil's Court and Godwin's Court, hidden gems that are said to have inspired the magical Diagon Alley. Cecil's Court, with its antique bookshops and unique storefronts, evokes the spirit of the wizarding shopping district. Godwin's Court, a narrow passage lined with 17th-century terraced houses, offers a glimpse into old London and provides a tangible connection to the atmospheric settings of the Harry Potter series. Discover rare books, quirky finds, and the enchanting ambiance of a bygone era.
Leadenhall Market
Step into Leadenhall Market, a Victorian-era covered market adorned with ornate architecture and vibrant colors. This historic marketplace served as one of the filming locations for the entrance to The Leaky Cauldron in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". It was also the place where Harry disembarked from the Knight Bus in "The Prisoner of Azkaban". Immerse yourself in the market's bustling atmosphere, browse the artisan shops, and savor the culinary delights while imagining the magical world hidden just beneath the surface.
King's Cross Station - Platform 9¾
Visit King's Cross Station, home to the legendary Platform 9¾. Although the actual platforms used for filming were 4 and 5, head to the west side of the station where you'll find a luggage trolley disappearing into the wall, marking the entrance to the magical realm. Capture a photo with a Gryffindor scarf and explore the adjacent Harry Potter shop, filled with merchandise from the books and films. Embrace the magic and create a lasting memory at this iconic location.
