Harry Potter Black Taxi Private Tour of London with Hotel Pickup
Description
For an unforgettable Harry Potter experience, take a private black taxi tour of Harry Potter London movie sites with your very own wizard driver/guide! These taxi tours are ideal for families and all lovers of Harry Potter - young or old! From Platform 9 3/4 to the Leaky Cauldron, we visit the sites in London where the filming took place. At each stop there will be an opportunity to get out the cab for short walks to take photos and your friendly driver/guide will play clips from the movies on his iPad to make the experience come alive for you! And if there any muggles in your party who want to see the sights of London as well as Harry Potter sites, this is the perfect tour! (PLEASE NOTE: that this is not a Warner Bros Studio Tour)
Tour Options
Itinerary
See the Ministry of Magic where in the movie The Order of the Phoenix, Harry and Mr Weasley attend a hearing because Harry has used magic outside school hours. How did they get in? A London red telephone box of course! Then later in the Deathly Hallows Part 1, Harry, Ron and Hermione have to find a way to get into the Ministry of Magic to retrieve a Horcrux from Delores Umbridge's neck
See where Warner Bros have set up a Platform 9 3/4 experience where, if time permits, you can line up to have your photo taken pushing a railway trolly through a wall. There may also be time to visit the souvenir store. But your Wizard driver/guide knows exactly where the sequence was filmed, and might be able to take you right onto the station platform to see where it really happened!
Not far from Kings Cross Station in the London suburb of Islington, is a quiet residential street. Unbeknown to its muggle residents, there is is a secret house here. This is 12 Grimmauld Place, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. Can you spot which house it is?
We visit the most famous outdoor food market in London crammed with food stalls displaying mouthwatering produce. Nestling unseen amongst its numerous street café’s is a secret doorway to the Leaky Cauldron, the Wizards Pub, and gateway to Diagon Alley. This is where the Knight Bus screeches to a halt outside to let Harry out in the movie Prisoner of Azkaban.
This architecture at this elegant Victorian market is a feast for the eyes. Its also home to the secret doorway of the Leaky Cauldron pub, gateway to Diagon Alley in the first movie, where Hagrid takes Harry to buy his wizarding supplies for his first day at Hogwarts.
We take a stop to see London’s stylish Millennium bridge, the bridge that the Death Eaters destroy in the dramatic opening sequence of the movie Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!
We drive over Lambeth Bridge, the bridge the Knight Bus had to squeeze through two double-decker red busses on the way to the Leaky Cauldron in the movie The Prisoner of Azkaban.
If time, we take you to Cecil Court, a quirky pedestrianized street full of odd little independent shops, whcih provided the inspiration for Diagon Alley (which was a film set). Apparently, JK Rowling when writing the first book wandered through here and thought ‘yes, this is the perfect place.’ Take a short stroll down Cecil Court and you’ll probably get what she meant!
See the stunning back drop of St Pancras Station where Harry and Ron fly off in the Weasley's flying blue car to Hogwarts, in the movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Thanks for the lovely review of your Harry Potter taxi tour with Michael. We're so glad you enjoyed it!
This was the highlight of our trip to London for our Harry Potter fan. Michael took us to all the spots we wanted to see and even showed us film clips before we saw each one. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Being in a black cab made it even made it more authentic. Michael took us everywhere Harry Potter, but in reality, he really took us everywhere London. Book this.

Micheal was an amazing tour guide First he was very flexible in picking Us up and dropping us up at the end of the tour He never made us feel rushed. He knew all the best spot that nobody else knows where to go to see the best view of the filming scene. He showed us clips from the movies before showing us the area. He was super funny with my kids. He was also very considerate with my elderly parents that were with us and had mobility issues. This was the last tour of our stay in London and the best highlight of our trip. Thanks to Micheal

we had the best harry potter tour with michael in london! he was prompt, friendly, and super knowledgeable and showed us 10 harry potter sites around town. added benefit that he had clips of the movie to share with us to pair with the locations to make the tour more meaningful. michael also had access to take us down to the actual platform 9 3/4 to view and take pictures ! the tour actually runs a bit longer than the stated 3 hours making this an exceptional value . we would not hesitate to book with michael again. 5 star experience !!
Thanks for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your Harry Potter London taxi tour with Michael.
We went on a whirlwind Harry Potter tour of London with Michael and we all loved it. The kids (10 and 12yr olds) loved seeing the movie clips and then the same London scenes. And it’s a really nice way to see some great parts of London. Michael was knowledgeable, friendly and made the experience even better. Would recommend.
Thanks for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your taxi tour with Michael.
We did this tour today as the first activity on our week long trip and I'm not sure we'll be able to top it! We're new fans of Harry Potter, with a 7YO and 4YO and everyone absolutely loved it. Our driver Michael was exceptional. He was so engaging, so informative, so thoughtful, so charismatic, and so professional. He shows a clip on a tablet at each destination, shares details about the scene and filming at location, as well as shares stories and anecdotes about the city of London and the attractions you see along the way. There are 10 stops and Michael thoughtfully curates the trip based on pick up and drop off locations. Both of my children could not get enough of Michael and raves about him after we left. This is a must do.
Thanks for the great review of your Harry Potter taxi tour with Michael. We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
