Step into the wizarding world on the Harry Potter Filming Locations Bus Tour—the only one of its kind to visit actual filming spots in central London! Your magical journey begins at Embankment, where you’ll hop aboard a classic purple 1960s Routemaster double-decker—a nostalgic nod to the Knight Bus from The Prisoner of Azkaban. Over the next two hours, you’ll be fully immersed in J.K. Rowling’s enchanting universe, with stops at iconic locations from the Harry Potter films. You’ll spot the Muggle Prime Minister’s HQ, peer into the goblin-run Gringotts Bank, find the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron, and stand where the Knight Bus squeezed between oncoming traffic! Along the way, you’ll explore hidden parts of London you’d likely never discover on your own—one of the reasons this tour (and its brilliant, entertaining guides) is such a hit. Your guide—an expert Potterhead—will share insider secrets, filming trivia, and stories from the set that bring the magic to life. The tour includes two stops for you to hop off, snap photos, and maybe even act out your favourite moments. A must-do London experience for witches, wizards, and Muggles alike!
