We started the day with a proper English breakfast — tea, eggs, baked beans, and toast, just like in the classic British films. Then we headed to Watford for the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter!
Believe me, this place isn’t just for die-hard Harry Potter fans — it’s pure magic for everyone. You’ll feel as if you’ve stepped right into the films, walking through the Great Hall, exploring Diagon Alley, and even wandering into the Forbidden Forest.
Every detail is perfectly preserved — from the wands and props to the iconic brooms and costumes that brought the Wizarding World to life.
✨ Tip: Tickets sell out fast and are not available on-site, so make sure to book weeks in advance through the official website.
Back in the city for the afternoon, we took a peaceful stroll through St. James’s Park, because honestly — you can’t skip the squirrels. Then, we wandered along South Bank, where London’s other side comes alive: riverside paths, street musicians, and the irresistible aroma of the Borough Market.
The Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, standing proudly by the Thames, offers an unforgettable experience — here, classic plays are still performed in their original Elizabethan form. Afterward, we crossed the Millennium Bridge, a familiar sight for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince fans, offering a breathtaking view of St. Paul’s Cathedral, glowing beautifully in the evening light.
🎭 To close the day, we headed to London’s iconic West End — the city’s world-famous theatre district. Whether you choose Wicked, Hamilton, or Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, each show promises a dazzling finale to your magical day in London.
London has a way of reminding you that magic truly hides around every corner — you just have to keep your eyes open.
