Harry Potter Filming Locations: Private Black Cab Tour in London
Description
Whether you're merely a muggle harbouring a belief in the wizarding world's existence or whether you remember He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, this tour will take you through several of the filming locations for the story of the boy who lived. It may not be September 1st, but unbeknownst to students, trains depart from Platform 9¾ daily. Enjoy a quick photoshoot there before pushing through the barrier, so you don't miss the departure of the Hogwarts Express! Don't forget to visit Gringott's Wizarding Bank to pay for each of your treasures at the real entrance to Diagon Alley. Remember the loss of muggle life on Brockdale Bridge as you cross. But never fear, there have been no death eater sightings for many years. You'll traverse many of London's hidden passageways and filming locations, so keep your eyes peeled for Ernie Prang and Stan Shunpike navigating the Knight Bus throughout the city.

Patrick was fantastic. It is clear that he loves London and helping people see all facets of the city. We definitely learned some things we didnt know before AND enjoyed seeing the HP sites!
Enjoyed our tour immensely with Nick. He was a great guide and had great tidbits about the Harry Potter series!
We had an absolutely amazing time with Dave. We learned so much. Next time we’re back we will do another tour and hopefully we will get Dave.
I had a great experience with this tour and my tour guide Dave. He was absolutely amazing on the tour. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with everything we needed on this tour. He even got me (shy person) to open up and answer Harry Potter questions and knowledge. He even got me to take a few photos at some of these locations he took us to. He also answered a few questions we had about London in general. In one way or another he got one us talking and just making the experience even better. When I go back to London and take another tour I definitely want to have Dave as my tour guide again he made the tour so fun and fantastic.
Went on a vacation with my family and this was our first tour and it was amazing. Dave knew what he was talking about when it came to the knowledge of Harry Potter and also gave us insights on the area which we highly appreciated. Would highly recommend taking Dave's tour if you get the chance.
My family and I took this tour with Dave and I can honestly say that it was such a great tour on everything. Dave was knowledgeable on all things Harry Potter as well as things in the area. I would highly recommend taking a tour with him.
Went on a harry potter set locations tour during my vacation. Our driver Dave was knowledgeable and friendly. The experience was one I won't soon forget and I highly recommend his tour to anyone.
Jamie was a knowledgable, fun and interactive tour guide not only sharing Harry Potter knowledge, but the history and interesting tidbits about past and present London! Very engaging never felt rushed took the time to make sure our experience was memorable!
Dave was an excellent guide! Very knowledgeable and a great photographer. Would recommend his guide service to anyone.
Dave’s ready for his next magical cab ride! Between snapping stellar photos and sharing wizarding lore, he’s thrilled you enjoyed the journey through the Harry Potter world. If you ever need a guide to the next spellbinding adventure, you know who to call! 🧙♂️✨
Dave could not have been more experienced or attentive to our dates! All things Harry Potter were visualized as best as they could be, with great descriptions! He was especially attentive to our personal needs and provided plenty of opportunity for refreshment, and replenishment as needed.Highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves Harry Potter as much as my husband does!
Good day, we are overjoyed that your day was filled with all things Harry Potter, sounds like you both had an incredible time and that Dave's knowledge and accommodating nature truly added to the experience! Thank you so much for your kind words, we will let Dave know. We hope to welcome you both back for more London magic in the near future - there so much more to discover! Thanks again for choosing us. Warmest regards.
