Insider tips

  • Guided experience: The Harry Potter Studio app offers an interactive map and info, but renting the handheld digital guide gives you exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews and facts not found on signage.
  • Green screen extras: Fun experiences like “flying a broom” or “riding the train” cost extra. Plan ahead to avoid surprises at the booths.
  • Photo opportunity: In the Great Hall, you only have 10-20 minutes with a guide and timed viewing. Snap your photos quickly, then enjoy the details.
  • Restroom alert: There are no toilets inside some major sets like Diagon Alley or Gringotts. Use facilities whenever you see them, especially if you're visiting with kids.
  • Meal planning: Once you enter the Studio Tour, you can't return to the lobby. If you're hungry, grab a meal at the Food Hall before starting your tour—hot meals and coffee are available.
  • Shopping strategy: There's a massive Studio Shop at the end of the tour, far better stocked than the lobby one. Save your shopping spree for the end!
  • Tour enhancement: Combine your Harry Potter London Tour with a London City Card to see even more movie magic.
