The Magic of Harry Potter Tour for Kids and Families in London

Leadenhall Market

Your journey starts at Leadenhall Market, a stunning Victorian covered market that transformed into the bustling Diagon Alley. As you step into this mesmerizing location, you can almost hear the clinking of coins as witches and wizards gather around for their magical supplies. In the film, this is where Harry and Hagrid enter to find the hidden entrance to Diagon Alley. You’ll visit the very spot where Harry first lays eyes on the magical world’s wonders, such as Ollivanders Wand Shop. Keep your eyes peeled for hidden signs and clues — this isn’t just a market, it’s a portal to a magical world!

Venture to Scotland Place, where the grand entrance to the Ministry of Magic can be found. This location was used in the Harry Potter films to depict the towering, underground structure where wizards and witches govern magical affairs. Picture yourself entering the Ministry through the iconic telephone booth — just like Harry did in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. You’ll learn about the wizarding world’s different departments and, perhaps, imagine what it would be like to work for the Ministry as a wizarding employee!

King's Cross Station

No Harry Potter tour would be complete without a visit to King's Cross Station and the legendary Platform 9¾. This bustling station is where Harry and his friends begin their magical journey to Hogwarts each year. Stand in the spot where Harry and Ron crashed the flying car into the station’s walls or where the trolley witch pushes her trolley towards the barrier. Here, you can pose for a photo at the iconic Platform 9¾ sign and feel the thrill of heading off to Hogwarts yourself!
