Frequently asked questions

What are the best Harry Potter tours in London?

Two of the most popular experiences are the London filmset locations tour and Warner Bros Studio Tour London. 
Our Black Taxi Tour London Harry Potter experience lets you explore real filmset spots around the city with your own private driver guide, making it one of the best ways to see the magic without queuing or rushing around. Many guests pair our tour with the Studio Tour for the complete wizarding adventure. 

How much time do you need for a Harry Potter tour in London?

Our tour lasts 4 hours, which is enough time to visit several filmset locations and enjoy classic London sightseeing along the way. Because Black Taxi Tours are bespoke, you can extend your experience if you want more time or have specific locations in mind. 

How do I get from London to the Harry Potter studio tour?

If you book our service to visit Warner Bros Studio Tour as a separate day, we collect you from your hotel or central location and take you door to door. 
Guests who travel independently usually take the train from London Euston to Watford Junction followed by the studio shuttle bus, but many travellers prefer Black Taxi Tours for convenience, comfort and timing. 

Where is Platform 9¾ in London?

Platform 9¾ is at King’s Cross Station, and we visit it on our tour. Your driver will help take photos and show you the official shop so you can pick up exclusive souvenirs. 

Where was Diagon Alley filmed?

Parts of Diagon Alley were filmed at Leadenhall Market. Your Black Taxi Tour guide will take you to the exact filming spots and share behind-the-scenes insights. 

Can I visit the Ministry of Magic entrance?

Yes. The exterior location used for the Ministry of Magic is Great Scotland Yard, which is featured on our tour. Your guide will point out filming references and take you to some lesser-known details nearby. 

Is the Black Taxi Tour Harry Potter experience suitable for children?

Absolutely. Children love racing between filmset locations, recreating scenes, and learning fun facts. Our guides are used to tailoring the experience for families and keeping the magic alive throughout the journey. 

Do I need to be a huge Harry Potter fan to enjoy this tour?

No. Many of the locations are iconic London landmarks, so even non-fans enjoy the history, architecture and storytelling that come with a private taxi guide. 

How many locations will I see on the Black Taxi Tour?

A typical 4 hour tour visits multiple confirmed filmset locations including Diagon Alley, Platform 9¾, the Ministry of Magic exterior and Gringotts Bank. 
Because our tours are private, your guide can adjust the day to fit your priorities or pace. 

Can the tour be customised?

Yes. Every Black Taxi Tour is bespoke. You can request specific locations or combine Harry Potter sites with general London sightseeing. 

Does the tour include entry to the Warner Bros Studio Tour?

This tour focuses on filmset locations around London. The Warner Bros Studio Tour is a separate attraction, but we can arrange transport and extend your booking if you would like to visit it too. 

Why choose a black taxi for a Harry Potter tour?

A private taxi lets you reach far more locations in less time, without crowds or rigid schedules. 
You will have your own driver guide who shares facts, stories, helps with photos and walks you through the filming areas. It is personalised, comfortable and ideal for families, couples or small groups. 

Can you collect me from my hotel or airport?

Yes. Black Taxi Tour London picks you up from any central London postcode. If you are based outside the centre or flying into London, we recommend the right tour length to make sure you have time to enjoy the sights. 

Do I need to book in advance?

Booking online secures your preferred date and gives you immediate confirmation. Peak months fill quickly, so advance booking is recommended. 

Can I do the Harry Potter tour during a layover?

Yes. We specialise in layover sightseeing, collecting you from the airport or train station, touring film locations, and returning you in time for your onward travel. This makes Black Taxi Tour London one of the easiest ways to make a layover unforgettable. 

Want a longer tour?

If you want a more leisurely day or want to see more of the sights, why not book in a longer tour? This gives you time to stop for lunch, visit more areas of the city and make the most of your time in London. Build your own tour here, or get in touch and we will arrange everything for you.

We can also pick you up outside of central London locations. Please get in touch to book so we can recommend a suitable tour length based on your pickup point.
