About this tour

Follow the trail of the wizarding world through London on a three-hour walking tour led by a local guide. Starting at King’s Cross Station, beside the famous Platform 9¾ shop, this London Harry Potter Walking Tour brings film locations and story inspirations to life.

Wander through magical narrow streets on the way to Leicester Square, where you’ll visit filming spots and two well-known shops, including one that created paper props for the films. Then take the Tube to London Bridge to see more locations, including the Wobbly Bridge and the Leaky Cauldron. Along the way, hear wizarding facts and stories, and discover buildings that inspired J.K. Rowling. Two Tube journeys are part of the route, so bring a contactless bank card, Oyster card, or Travelcard. Children aged 13 and under join free when included in the booking.

With a small group and a guide who knows the stories behind the sights, the London Harry Potter Walking Tour offers a lively way to explore the city through a fan’s eyes. Arrive early if you’d like a Platform 9¾ trolley photo, then set off on a spellbinding London adventure.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.74 from 919 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.5.
