Harry Potter Walking Route

Leadenhall Market-  EC3V 1LT

Used as Diagon Alley in Philosopher’s Stone. The ornate Victorian market makes a brilliant photo stop.

Millennium Bridge - SE1 9JE 

Famously destroyed by Death Eaters in Half-Blood Prince (don’t worry, it’s perfectly safe now!).

Platform 9¾, Kings Cross - N1C 4AP 

The trolley disappearing into the wall is free to view (professional photos optional and paid).

Goodwin's Court - WC2N 4LL 

A narrow, lantern-lit street often said to have inspired Knockturn Alley.
