Harry Potter in London

Other Harry Potter locations in London

Australia House, the British Museum area, and other spots fans look up — what is worth a detour.

Beyond the trolley and the bridge, London has extras: government buildings used as exteriors, streets used for a few seconds of film. Some are worth a 10-minute look. Some are a waste of a Zone 1 day.

Use a walking tour if you want the stories. Use a map if you only want two photos.

Worth a detour

Places you would visit anyway (museums, the City). The Harry Potter layer is a bonus.

Skip if rushed

A doorway used for three seconds of film. Your feet have a budget.

Why we do not list fifty pins

A fifty-stop map is how you see none of London. Pick a handful.

  3. 3Free cancellation depends on the operator, not on Lon365.
  4. 4We are not Warner Bros. We compare independent booking options.

Frequently asked questions

Scotland Yard?
Some exteriors were used. It is still a police building. Be respectful.
Reptile house?
London Zoo is a separate ticket if that scene matters to you.
Do I need a guide?
Only if you want commentary.
Are new locations added?
Tours update. Films are old. The city changes.
Best one day route?
King’s Cross plus one City stop, or a single walking tour. Not everything.
