London is full of iconic sights, but for any Harry Potter fan, there's an extra layer of magic hidden across the city. On my recent trip, I made it my mission to track down some of the most memorable filming locations tied to the Wizarding World — and it was unforgettable!
First stop? Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station. It's a must for any Potterhead. Yes, I stood in line for the classic trolley photo (scarf and wand included!) and visited the official Harry Potter shop nearby. Totally worth it.
Next up was the Millennium Bridge, famously destroyed by Death Eaters in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In real life, it’s a sleek pedestrian bridge with stunning views of the Thames and the Shard in the distance. A surreal walk for sure.
Whether you're a die-hard fan or just love a little pop culture with your travels, these stops added something truly special to my London experience.

As magical as this trip was, it definitely left me wishing I had time for even more wizarding adventures.

Leadenhall Market — Inspiration for Diagon Alley and full of charm.
House of MinaLima — The creative minds behind the Daily Prophet and more.
Harry Potter Walking Tour — To discover even more hidden filming gems.
