Harry Potter Filming Locations Bus Tour: Magic on the Streets of London


Harry Potter fans can step into the world of the films on a two-hour bus tour visiting real filming locations across central London. Beginning at Embankment, the experience takes place aboard a purple-painted 1960s London Routemaster, inspired by the magical Knight Bus from The Prisoner of Azkaban. With an expert English-speaking guide and professional driver on board, guests can explore the cinematic world of Harry Potter without navigating London’s busy streets on foot.


The route features a host of locations from the Harry Potter films and the Fantastic Beasts trilogy, including the Leaky Cauldron, Gringotts Bank, the entrance to the Ministry of Magic, and bridges featured in memorable scenes. Visitors will also discover the government buildings used in the films and follow the escape route taken by Harry, Ron and Hermione from the Death Eaters. The tour includes two opportunities to leave the bus and explore key filming locations on foot, offering plenty of chances for photographs.


Along the way, the journey also passes some of London’s most recognizable landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul’s Cathedral and the impressive view from Lambeth Bridge. Fans will also see Leadenhall Market, another iconic London location associated with the magical world. Throughout the tour, the guide shares behind-the-scenes stories, film trivia and fascinating details from all eight Harry Potter films, with quizzes giving guests the chance to earn House points.


The tour concludes at Embankment Station, where visitors can continue exploring London or extend their Harry Potter adventure with recommendations from the guide. The experience operates in all weather conditions, so comfortable shoes, water and an umbrella are recommended. With a dedicated Harry Potter fan leading the way, the bus tour offers a lively combination of film history, London sightseeing and magical moments for fans of all ages.

The Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour was an absolutely unforgettable experience for our family. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the films or just enjoy amazing production design, this place is pure magic from start to finish. The moment we walked in, it felt like stepping straight into the Wizarding World. The sets, costumes, and props are incredibly detailed — seeing places like the Great Hall, Diagon Alley, and the Hogwarts Express in person is surreal. Every corner holds a “wow” moment, and you can feel the amount of passion and creativity that went into making the films. One of the highlights for us was learning how the magic was made behind the scenes — from special effects and animatronics to makeup and set design. It gave us a whole new appreciation for the amount of work behind each scene. And of course, trying Butterbeer was a must — the kids LOVED it! The tour is very well organized, clean, and easy to navigate even with children. There are plenty of photo opportunities, interactive sections, and staff who are friendly and knowledgeable. The gift shop at the end is huge and full of amazing souvenirs — we had a hard time picking just one! Overall, this experience is a dream come true for Harry Potter fans and a fantastic day out for families. We left with big smiles, tons of photos, and memories we’ll never forget. If you’re visiting the UK, this is an absolute must-do.

Second time visiting - been over a decade. It's just as amazing as the first time! Whilst it is extremely expensive and there are shops upselling tat throughout, the actual displays and shows are incredible. Since I came before they have added a secrets of the CGI section which was very engaging and interesting. They have also added the gringotts bank section which was great to wander through and see how they created such an impressive set. Well worth the visit - I just do wish they wouldnt charge such a high price!

I definitely recommend going here if you are a hard core Harry Potter fan! You also need to get tickets a few months ahead so you can get the day and time you want as the tour can take up to the whole day. I like how there is a bit of everything that went into making the movie from construction of the setting to different costumes and much more. I definitely see the movie series in a different light. There not much wait time for anything. The line to get in went at a decent pace so did the line for food thought the line to take the bus back to the station was bit long but bearable. All in all it was a great experience!😄
