From London: Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour - Diagon Alley and Hogwarts Express, the photo stops that actually work

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 26,588 reviews · 7 hours · from $117Our pick

Coach from Victoria to Warner Bros. Studio London to explore Diagon Alley, Gringotts, Hogwarts Express, and behind-the-scenes magic for 4 hours.

“Great trip to see the Harry Potter studios. Would definitely recommend. We spent 41/2 hrs wandering the studios. Stopped for a light lunch at the cafe. Lines move quite quickly, butter bear is very tasty. Could have used even more time, there is so much to see. Bus was quite comfortable, but seats are very close together. It was a warm day, and bus driver should have turned the AC on sooner. Overall a great experience.”

London: Warner Bros. Studio Harry Potter Tour & Branded Bus

3.Warner Bros. Studio Harry Potter Tour & Branded Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 19,194 reviews · 7h 30m · from $151

Branded bus from Victoria to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, with 4 hours inside Hogwarts sets like Diagon Alley and Gringotts.

“The experience at Warner Bros. Studios was incredible. Harry Potter fans, you absolutely must visit! Gringotts Bank and Diagon Alley were my favourites. However, the transportation was terrible. The Golden Tours bus was so bad that we couldn’t even see outside due to the humidity and temperature difference. The monitors and screens weren’t working either. It was a complete disaster. Do yourself a favour and find your own way there and back. Three and a half hours are simply not enough.”
