Hidden across the road is the wonderfully evocative Ball Court, you might need a Marauder’s Map to navigate around these 18th century alley ways, we could so easily be strolling down Diagon or Knockturn Alley.

Muggles might also spot a deleted scene from The Prisoner of Azkaban, the Knight Bus spins around at Bank interchange and then shoots down Threadneedle Street.Ī stone’s throw away behind the Royal Exchange movie fans may also recognise the final scenes in The Bridget Jones Diaries, (it’s snowing, they kiss and the credits roll). Harry and Hagrid arrive in London and visit Diagon Alley where Gringotts is described as ‘a snowy white’ building ‘burnished with bronze doors’ that goes down as much as it goes up and is staffed by Goblins (still is).

The Bank of England may well have been the inspiration for Gringotts Bank, familiar to all Harry Potter fans from the first movie Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone. We start our tour of the wizarding world from Bank tube station. The Harry Potter walking tour – Itinerary Please note this is a walking tour not a bus tour. The Harry Potter Film Locations in the City tour starts just outside exit 3 of Bank Tube Station (by the war memorial in front of the Royal Exchange). The Harry Potter walking tour – The practicals Your expert guides are muggles and actors, Andy H and Citlalli. It also hits the sweet spots betwixt and between – the very best of mysterious, quirky, peculiar, curious, lost old London. Where to go on this wicked Harry Potter walking tour that burns with the hard, gem-like flame of film locations from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Hagrid aka the Guide: “If yeh know where to go.” Harry Potter: “ Can we find all this in London?”
