How the day runs
Departure from your hotel
Your driver arrives at your London hotel entrance at the time you chose, between 8:00 and 11:00am. The drive to Leavesden, north of London, takes around an hour depending on traffic.
The Great Hall
The first set on the tour — the Great Hall with its original long tables, exactly as it appeared in the films. Entry is by the timed slot printed on your ticket.
Diagon Alley
The complete street with its shopfronts as built for filming: Ollivanders wand shop, Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes and the Gringotts bank façade.
Platform 9¾ and the Hogwarts Express
The real Hogwarts Express locomotive on the platform, with carriages you can step into for photographs — one of the most popular stops on the tour for families.
The rest of the studio
The Forbidden Forest, Privet Drive and, at the end, the scale model of Hogwarts Castle. Most visitors take three to four hours over the full tour, and you are free to take as long as you like.
King’s Cross station stop optional
On the way back you can stop at King’s Cross to photograph the famous Platform 9¾ trolley inside the station. Just ask your driver on the day.
Back to your hotel
Your driver returns you to the same address you started from, at the time you decide.

Know before you go
- Book your tickets a long way ahead. Harry Potter studio tickets usually sell out two to three months in advance, especially during school holidays. Book them on the studio’s official website before you book the car.
- Your ticket has a timed entry slot. Entry is not open all day — there is a specific time on the ticket you must arrive by. Tell us that time when you book so we can set the departure around it.
- Allow three to four hours for the tour. That is the usual average; if you like detail and photography you may well take longer, and your driver waits.
- Child seats must be requested in advance. Give us the children’s ages when you book so the correct seat is fitted before pickup.
- The studio is indoors and heated. Most of the tour is under cover so the weather will not spoil your day — but there are short outdoor sections, so bring a light coat in winter.
