🪄 A Complete Guide to Magical Harry Potter Spots in London

London is filled with places that prove "magic exists in reality" 🫶🏼 From streets that recreate scenes from the books to actual filming locations, this is a journey no Potterhead should miss ✨ 🏰 Leadenhall Market The street where Harry and Hagrid first walked in the first movie. Under the Victorian-style arcade lies the starting point of Diagon Alley from the films! 📸 It's most beautiful in the afternoon when sunlight streams through the glass ceiling. 🚪 Bull’s Head Passage The entrance to the original Leaky Cauldron from the first movie. A passageway between small iron doors — don’t just walk past it! 🏦 Australian High Commission The exterior filming location for Gringotts Wizarding Bank! Unfortunately, the interior is off-limits, but the grand facade and marble columns perfectly capture the movie's atmosphere. ☎️ Great Scotland Yard The spot where the red telephone box leading to the Ministry of Magic appeared in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." Though the phone box is no longer there, fans can’t help but stop by. 🌉 Millennium Bridge Famous for being destroyed by Death Eaters in the opening scene of "Half-Blood Prince." Walking across it feels much shorter than in the movie, but the tension remains ⚡️ 📚 Cecil Court One of the streets that inspired Diagon Alley. With antique signs, old bookshops, and a "hidden magical alley" vibe, it's a popular pilgrimage spot for Harry Potter fans. 🕯️ Goodwin’s Court Known as the inspiration for Knockturn Alley. With its "Muggles Welcome" signs, owl-shaped windows, and dim gas lamps, it's a real-life magical street full of Harry Potter charm. 💡 Harry Potter Travel Tips ✔️ Most spots are concentrated in the city center, making it possible to visit them all in one day! ✔️ The atmosphere doubles at dusk or nighttime 🪄 ✔️ Be respectful as some locations are quiet residential areas. London isn’t just a city; it’s a "real-world continuation of Hogwarts." Now it’s time to grab your magic wand (=camera)!
