Itinerary
Your journey starts in Central London where you'll meet your tour representative, a preferred partner. Travel by train directly to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London. When you arrive, enjoy timed access and be greeted by a dedicated Studio Tour guide who reveals the wonders you'll encounter throughout your tour of the original sets, props, and costumes from all eight of the Harry Potter films. You will be given your own personal headset to ensure you do not miss any of the fascinating behind-the-scenes facts.
Start your experience with a short film in the cinema before you enter the iconic Great Hall set. Your guide shares production secrets and inside information and tells you about the processes used to bring the films to life. Take a look inside Dumbledore’s office, and walk along cobbled Diagon Alley, which features the shop fronts of Ollivanders, Flourish and Blotts, Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, Gringotts Bank, and Eeylops Owl Emporium. Visit the original Hogwarts Express locomotive and a recreation of Platform 9 ¾. Climb aboard the train carriage and pose with a luggage trolley as it disappears through the platform wall. Other sets you can see include the Gryffindor common room, the boys’ dormitory, Hagrid’s Hut, the Potions classroom, and Professor Umbridge's office at the Ministry of Magic. Throughout your tour, you'll be captivated by secrets and insights from your guide.
From May 7th to September 7th, celebrate 25 years of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone with iconic props, original sets, and memorable moments from Harry's first year at Hogwarts. From September 16th to November 8th, the Studio Tour transforms for Halloween with floating pumpkins, eerie displays, and wand combat against a Death Eater in Diagon Alley. From November 14th to January 17th, enjoy the magic of Christmas with festive sets, Yule Ball decorations, and behind the scenes secrets of the films' winter effects.
Once your guided tour comes to an end, you have the option to re-enter the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London at your leisure, find that perfect Harry Potter souvenir at the Studio Shop, or purchase a coffee at the Studio Tour Cafe.

Josh was AMAZING! We were there on 7.15.26 and he was so knowledgeable, funny, and we learned so much about the movie, making the movie, and secrets!!! You must try the butterbeer!!! Especially if you have been to Universal- this is much better! Josh was awesome! Train from London and busses were easy!
This was a lovely experience. I would only say to provide a little more time for the lunch as it takes quite some time to get the orders due to the volume of people being served. Our guide Lindsay was fantastic, and her knowledge was amazing.
If you like Harry Potter, you will love it. If you know little about Harry Potter, you will be amazed.
The tour itself is really long about four hours once you get to the museum. My husband is super into Harry Potter, but I am only a milder fan. It worked out though because I was able to find a bench and look at my phone once I got overwhelmed with the detail. It was very enjoyable, however, and really a great experience.
Great tour! Even for non-Harry Potter fans, it is a good tour. You will gain an appreciation for how films like this are made.
There is no need to book a tour, as all the guide did was get us to the train and the bus (which is pretty easy) and then drops you at the entrance to walk the place yourself. Cheaper to buy you own tickets and enjoy the day. And bring your own food for lunch.
Dear Laura_J, Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear our experience didn't meet your expectations, however, please allow me to clarify that this is exactly how the tour is designed and outlined in our official description. The experience is specifically structured as an unguided, self-guided day trip that includes round-trip transportation and entry tickets, allowing you the freedom to explore the site and choose your own lunch at your own pace. We appreciate your review.
We met our first guide outside Euston Station Alex and he helped us get to the studios. Inside we met with Mei Ling. She gave a fabulous tour over everything and even took us through some back passages to save time at lunch. She made the experience just absolutely incredible. We then had time to go back and explore more of what we were interested in. I will be honest I was wondering if this extra price would be worth it....and it totally was! Would do it again and highly recommend it.
I have to say, the experience was amazing. It was so organised and easy. The private guide at the studio, Nicolas, was such a good fellow. He made the whole experience special for my daughter and was very helpful. The guide who helped us reach the studio also made sure we all were comfortable and was super sweet and helpful
The daughter is a big Potter fan and she was super happy. Well maintained and modern but juicy prices for shopping and food.
Caty,guide was flawless! She brought all the movies to life and taught us so much of the backstories! We have taken so many tours all over the world, but this was by far the best for so many reasons! First of all being the guide! The children, pages 10 and 13 were mesmerized by all her information. As where are we!
