Best time to visit the Warner Bros. Studio London

Weekday vs Weekend

Weekdays are ideal to avoid the extra crowd and general tourist rush.
Visit Harry Potter™ Studios during the first half of the day. The tours are lengthy and take anywhere between 3 and 7 hours. Hence, it is recommended that you book an early slot because the crowd peaks at around 4pm to enjoy a stress-free and pleasant experience.
Since Harry Potter Studio tours are always in demand and a lengthy tour, book your tickets several weeks in advance to get a slot of your preference.

Peak season vs low season

Peak season (June to August): Summer offers pleasant temperatures around 20 degrees and is a great time to visit Harry Potter Studio. Spring (March to May) is also an ideal time to visit before the summer tourist rush.
Low season (November to March): Visit the Harry Potter™ Studio Tours during the off-season for fewer crowds. Although cold, a thick jacket will keep you comfortable.
For a magical experience akin to the holidays in Harry Potter movies, opt for a Christmas visit, complete with lights, decorations, and choir performances.

How long should I spend at Harry Potter Studio?

Hogwarts castle model decorated for Christmas at Harry Potter Studio, London.

Under 3 hours

If you’re short on time, head straight through the highlights. Prioritise the Great Hall, Hogwarts Castle model, and the Forbidden Forest. Use the digital guide or audio tour to get quick context while moving. Grab a Butterbeer or snack at the Backlot Café and skip optional extras like the green screen photo stops or special exhibits. It’s a fast-paced visit, but still magical if planned well.

Dumbledore's study at Harry Potter Studio, featuring books and magical artifacts.

3-6 hours

This is the sweet spot for most visitors. You’ll have time to enjoy each major set like Diagon Alley, Dumbledore's Office, and Gringotts Wizarding Bank at a relaxed pace. Watch behind-the-scenes videos, read prop notes, and try a few interactive elements. You can stop for a proper meal at the Backlot Café mid-way and still have time for shopping and photos before wrapping up.

Over 6 hours

If you want to see everything, this is your window. Spend extra time reading every sign, watching the videos in full, and interacting with detailed exhibits like the creature effects or the Hogwarts Bridge. Take breaks at the cafés, browse the shop thoroughly, and enjoy the full experience without rushing. Perfect for superfans, film students, or those who want a truly immersive day!

Frequently Asked Questions about Harry Potter Studio opening times

Do opening hours change during UK school holidays or half terms?

Yes, during school holidays and half terms, the studio often opens earlier and closes later to accommodate more visitors. Check your specific date in the booking calendar.

Are there earlier time slots available during peak seasons?

Yes, in peak seasons like summer and Christmas, the first entry slot may open as early as 8:30am instead of the usual 9:30am.

What time does the last entry take place each day?

The last entry usually happens 1-2 hours before closing time. This varies depending on the day, so always check your ticket for the exact final admission time.

Can I stay after closing time if I entered late?

No, all visitors must exit by the official closing time, regardless of when they entered. Arriving late shortens your available visit time.

Are the cafés open for the full duration of the studio's opening hours?

Yes, but last orders may be taken 30-60 minutes before the studio closes. Closing times for each café can also vary slightly by day.

Do opening hours differ for special events or seasonal features?

Yes, during events like Hogwarts in the Snow or Dark Arts, opening hours may extend, especially on weekends or evenings.

Can I leave and re-enter the studio later the same day?

Re-entry is not permitted once you’ve exited the main tour area. However, cafés and the shop in the Hub area are accessible before and after your tour.

Is there a time limit once I enter the studio?

No strict limit, but most visitors finish within 3–5 hours. Entry is timed, but your visit can be as long as the day’s closing time allows.
