Harry Potter's London Self-Guided Tour for Muggles with an App

5.0(1)LondonFree cancellation

About this activity

The oldest pub in London isn’t on Drury Lane — it’s the Leaky Cauldron, behind a brick wall in Leadenhall Market. At least, that’s what any wizard will tell you. Start your magical adventure at the spot where Hagrid tapped those bricks in The Philosopher’s Stone, then follow an audio guide through London’s real-world wizarding landmarks. Walk across the bridge the Death Eaters destroyed, wander the narrow streets that inspired Diagon Alley and possibly Knockturn Alley, and test your Potter knowledge with an in-app trivia quiz. With behind-the-scenes film trivia, and a guide who swears she’d be sorted into Ravenclaw, this is an adventure through the city Rowling wove into her magical world. No fixed schedule or group to keep up with. Just you, your headphones, and a Marauder’s Map on your phone. Choose the full route (including a Tube ride to Platform 9¾) or end at Soho if you’re short on time. A full refund guarantee means you can book with confidence — no Unbreakable Vow required.
