From the guide

For an unforgettable Harry Potter experience, take a private black taxi tour of Harry Potter London movie sites with your very own wizard driver/guide! These taxi tours are ideal for families and all lovers of Harry Potter - young or old! From Platform 9 3/4 to the Leaky Cauldron, we visit the sites in London where the filming took place. At each stop there will be an opportunity to get out the cab for short walks to take photos and your friendly driver/guide will play clips from the movies on his iPad to make the experience come alive for you! And if there any muggles in your party who want to see the sights of London as well as Harry Potter sites, this is the perfect tour!

Itinerary

Westminster Abbey Stop 1
See the Ministry of Magic where in the movie The Order of the Phoenix, Harry and Mr Weasley attend a hearing because Harry has used magic outside school hours. How did they get in? A London red telephone box of course! Then later in the Deathly Hallows Part 1, Harry, Ron and Hermione have to find a way to get into the Ministry of Magic to retrieve a Horcrux from Delores Umbridge's neck
15 min
King's Cross Station Stop 2
See where Warner Bros have set up a Platform 9 3/4 experience where, if time permits, you can line up to have your photo taken pushing a railway trolly through a wall. There may also be time to visit the souvenir store. But your Wizard driver/guide knows exactly where the sequence was filmed, and might be able to take you right onto the station platform to see where it really happened!
20 min
The Islington Stop 3
Not far from Kings Cross Station in the London suburb of Islington, is a quiet residential street. Unbeknown to its muggle residents, there is is a secret house here. This is 12 Grimmauld Place, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. Can you spot which house it is?
10 min
We visit the most famous outdoor food market in London crammed with food stal... Stop 4
We visit the most famous outdoor food market in London crammed with food stalls displaying mouthwatering produce. Nestling unseen amongst its numerous street café’s is a secret doorway to the Leaky Cauldron, the Wizards Pub, and gateway to Diagon Alley. This is where the Knight Bus screeches to a halt outside to let Harry out in the movie Prisoner of Azkaban.
15 min
Leadenhall Market Stop 5
This architecture at this elegant Victorian market is a feast for the eyes. Its also home to the secret doorway of the Leaky Cauldron pub, gateway to Diagon Alley in the first movie, where Hagrid takes Harry to buy his wizarding supplies for his first day at Hogwarts.
15 min
Millennium Bridge Stop 6
We take a stop to see London’s stylish Millennium bridge, the bridge that the Death Eaters destroy in the dramatic opening sequence of the movie Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!
5 min
Lambeth Bridge Stop 7
We drive over Lambeth Bridge, the bridge the Knight Bus had to squeeze through two double-decker red busses on the way to the Leaky Cauldron in the movie The Prisoner of Azkaban.
Pass by
Cecil Court Stop 8
If time, we take you to Cecil Court, a quirky pedestrianized street full of odd little independent shops, whcih provided the inspiration for Diagon Alley (which was a film set). Apparently, JK Rowling when writing the first book wandered through here and thought ‘yes, this is the perfect place.’ Take a short stroll down Cecil Court and you’ll probably get what she meant!
5 min
St. Pancras International Station Stop 9
See the stunning back drop of St Pancras Station where Harry and Ron fly off in the Weasley's flying blue car to Hogwarts, in the movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
