Itinerary so far...
Step into a traditional London Black Cab and embark on a magical journey to the real-life locations where the Harry Potter films were shot. From Diagon Alley in the City of London to the Ministry of Magic in historic Westminster—we will drive over the bridge that the triple-decker Knight Bus for stranded wizards sped over, and visit locations in Westminster, the City and Southwark to find out how they were magically transformed for the movies. I will point out interesting and historical places on the way.
Arrival at Tilbury: Your London Welcome
Step off your ship and straight into a London icon. Your private Black Cab will be waiting at Tilbury Port for a smooth, comfortable transfer into the heart of the capital. You’ll be greeted by your driver, Shane Healy—a qualified Westminster Guide—who will handle your luggage and share expert insights as the city unfolds around you.Once your bags are securely dropped at your hotel, Shane will introduce you to your expert guide, Lee Cooper, to begin your adventure.

Discover Harry Potter Film Locations

We will start the tour as soon as you are ready, and you can spend as much time as you wish at the various Harry Potter London film locations. We will also allow plenty of time for photographs.
We’ll visit the actual film locations of Diagon Alley, The Leaky Couldron, Gringotts Bank (interior when open), the Wobbly Bridge, Ministry of Magic site, and follow the route of the Knight Bus. And of course no Harry Potter tour would be complete without a visit to the famous Platform 9¾, along with the Harry Potter Shop at Kings Cross station.

I will tell you stories of my encounters as a London cabby when I picked up Bellatrix Le Strange, Professor McGonagall and ‘he who must not be named’ (V——t). You will also see many of London's major sights on the tour and I will tell you their history and stories with plenty of stops for photos, coffee and snacks. Our tour usually finishes at platform 9¾, Kings Cross Station.
