    What you'll see and do

    1. Piccadilly Circus

      Meet your child-friendly guide and Harry Potter enthusiast in Piccadilly Circus next to the statue of Eros, and begin your amazing journey through some of the best known Harry Potter film locations. This walking tour is around 2.5 hours long, and it provides a fabulous opportunity for families with children to see some of the buildings, streets and areas of London which inspired J.K. Rowling as she wrote the books, and which then went on to feature in the Harry Potter films.

    2. Leicester Square

      First stop is Leicester Square, located in London's West End and famous for its theatres, restaurants, nightclubs, bars and shops. Many love to relax in the garden area in the statuesque company of William Shakespeare, Hogarth and Charlie Chaplin. Furthermore, Leicester Square is well-known as the location of one of the most famous cinema's in the world, the Odeon, which has hosted the premiere of every single Harry Potter film so far.

      20 minutes here

    3. Trafalgar Square

      Another iconic square, situated in the City of Westminster, will be the next stop on your walking tour. Your kid-friendly guide will tell you all about Trafalgar Square's most famous attractions, including the National Gallery, Nelson's Column and the Trafalgar Square lions, as well as the fountains and statues. The square also appears in the Harry Potter story, as a small group of Death Eaters magically fly over the celebrated site on their way to Diagon Alley, where they kidnap Garrick Ollivander.

      20 minutes here

    4. Leadenhall Market

      In Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Diagon Alley is actually Leadenhall Market, located in the City of London. It provided the film with the wizard-world shopping street, and Hagrid and Harry take a stroll through the market before entering the Leaky Cauldron Pub through a blue door, which you may be able to spot. Your guide, a Harry Potter buff and expert in leading tours for families with children, will know exactly how to keep you and your children happy and entertained.

      20 minutes here

    5. Millennium Bridge

      Then you will arrive at the Millennium Bridge, a pedestrian-only bridge linking St Paul's Cathedral on the north bank of the Thames with the Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe on the south bank. Harry Potter fans will instantly recognise it from the opening scene of the film, where Death Eaters are flying over London, obliterating everything in their path, bridge included. From here you can enjoy panoramic views of the city, making it a great place to stop and take some souvenir photographs.

      20 minutes here

    6. King's Cross Station

      To round off your tour, you will take the city's public transport system to King's Cross Station, where the pupils of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry go to catch the Hogwarts Express. This special train leaves from Platform 9¾, and you will be led to its secret entrance at the railing separating platforms 9 and 10! You will also be given the chance to buy some Potter souvenirs, and the tour would not be complete without having your photo taken pushing the luggage trolley embedded in the wall! Note: as you will use public transport, please make sure you have your Oyster cards with you.

    Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London cost?

    +

    Prices start at $251 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.

    Is Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in London?

    +

    London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit London?

    +

    May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in London?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London?

    +

    Included: Harry Potter expert guide; Walking Tour; Private Tour; Kid-Friendly Guide; and Private Guide. Not included: Warner Bros Studios; Hotel Pick up/drop off; Public transport tickets; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London?

    +

    The meeting point is in Piccadilly Circus, right outside the Critterion Theatre (next to the Lillywhite shop) in front of the Eros statue. The guide will be showing a sign with the customer's name. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Kid-Friendly Harry Potter Locations Private Tour in London if the weather is bad?

    +
