Overview

Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs are proud to present: In the Footsteps of Harry Potter! Just like the cunning Marauder’s Map, Meet the Locals for Families knows London’s every twists and turns, corners, and hidden passageways. Most importantly, we both know everywhere that Harry Potter has been! If you are big Harry Potter fans like we are, you are going to love following in the footsteps of Harry and the gang all around London. So what are we waiting for?

You will meet your Harry Potter expert at Piccadilly Circus. This square is a filming location for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Do you remember who apparates here? What did they almost get hit by? Your kid-friendly Potterhead guide will tell you all about it!

Next you will head to Leicester Square, which is home to the Odeon. This iconic theater has hosted the premiere of (almost) every Harry Potter movie. But we have a little-known fact to share with you- Leicester Square also makes an appearance in one of the films. Can you remember which one? Your kid-friendly guide will be sure to help you if you can’t recall.

Where can we be absolutely certain that Harry Potter went? Diagon Alley of course! But what inspired this lively magical market street? Cecil and Goodwin’s Court! First walk through these streets first to get a feel for what helped create the iconic Diagon Alley.

Step back into the muggle world for your next stop, Trafalgar Square, where the very last Harry Potter film premiered in 2011. The actors gave speeches, and J.K. Rowling was the last to address the audience. She finished with an address to the fans: “Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home,” before the last film began to play (we’re not crying, we swear! Okay maybe a little…).

Take a portkey (or the Tube) to your next location: Millennium Bridge! Do you recognize this bridge from Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince? He Who Must Not Be Named ordered Death Eaters to destroy the bridge, but only in the world of Harry Potter! It’s still safe to walk across, don’t worry.

I hope you have your book list, because it is time to venture into Diagon Alley! Used for filming in the first two films, Leadenhall Market is a bustling market decorated with Victorian ornamentation. Its iconic atmosphere will immediately make you feel like you’ve stepped into the wizarding world! Can you spot the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron that Hagrid used?

And where was the last place Harry was in London before he went to Hogwarts? King’s Cross Station to board the Hogwarts Express of course! You will end your journey at Platform 9 ¾, just like Harry and his fellow students. Hop in line to take your picture with the platform (though if you make it through the wall and board the Hogwarts Express, you might just finally catch up to Harry Potter!) Mischief managed!

Would you like to also visit the Tower of London in a fun way during your trip? Check out our awesome Tower of London kids tour!

FAQ

Should we do this tour even if our kids aren’t Harry Potter fans?

This walking tour is a fun way to explore London, regardless of your level of fandom. But it has been designed with wizard-loving muggles in mind, so if your kids do not care for Harry Potter at all, we might recommend one of our other London kid tours.

Is this tour suitable for all ages?

[bouton_read_more]

Absolutely. Your Harry Potter expert knows how to adapt their speech to engage and inform witches and wizards of all ages.

What happens if it rains or snows?

Our tours always run- rain or shine! Our “Mary Poppins” guides will always opt for covered stops when possible, but we encourage you to dress for traditional English weather.
