UK Movie Magic Tour: Harry Potter Filming Locations

Arrive in London and check in to your central boutique hotel. Begin with VIP entry to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, where exclusive behind-the-scenes access allows you to see original sets, props, and costumes from the franchise.

A private guided tour of London’s filming locations reveals the city’s role in the films: Leadenhall Market as Diagon Alley, Australia House as Gringotts Bank, and the Millennium Bridge featured in the sixth movie.

Enjoy a themed afternoon tea at The Wands & Wizard Exploratorium or Cutter & Squidge before an evening performance of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in the West End. Private transfers and concierge service are included throughout your stay.

Continue to the Cotswolds for a stay in a classic countryside retreat. Visit Lacock Abbey, whose cloisters appeared as Hogwarts interiors in the early films. A private tour of Gloucester Cathedral follows, where its vaulted passages were filmed for The Chamber of Secrets.

Between visits, enjoy time to explore Cotswold villages, stop at local tearooms, or relax at your hotel’s spa.

Explore Edinburgh’s literary and magical history with a private guide. Visit The Elephant House café, where J.K. Rowling began her first drafts, and walk along Victoria Street, whose curved architecture inspired Diagon Alley.    

An after-hours tour of Edinburgh Castle provides access to the fortress after the crowds have gone. Later, visit Alnwick Castle, which doubled as Hogwarts in the first two films, and try a broomstick-flying lesson led by instructors who worked on set.

Evenings can include a whisky tasting in a historic cellar, paired with stories of Scottish folklore and legends.

After breakfast, transfer to Edinburgh or London Heathrow Airport. Alternatively, return to King’s Cross Station for a final photograph at Platform 9¾ – the perfect ending to your journey through the magical world of Harry Potter.
