Tilbury Shore Excursion: Harry Potter Film Locations with Black Cab Transportation

Step into a traditional London Black Cab and embark on a magical journey to the real-life locations where the Harry Potter films were shot. From Diagon Alley in the City of London to the Ministry of Magic in historic Westminster—we will drive over the bridge that the triple-decker Knight Bus for stranded wizards sped over, and visit locations in Westminster, the City and Southwark to find out how they were magically transformed for the movies. I will point out interesting and historical places on the way.

Tilbury to Central London

We'll pick you up right from Tilbury port in your own classic London Black Cab and whisk you away to the heart of London. Your friendly guide will share some interesting facts about the area as we travel. Once we arrive, you can either let your guide lead the way to some of the top attractions, or you can tell us which ones you'd love to see – it's your tour!

Discover Harry Potter Film Locations

We will start the tour as soon as you are ready, and you can spend as much time as you wish at the various Harry Potter London film locations. We will also allow plenty of time for photographs.

We’ll visit the actual film locations of Diagon Alley, The Leaky Couldron, Gringotts Bank (interior when open), the Wobbly Bridge, Ministry of Magic site, and follow the route of the Knight Bus. And of course no Harry Potter tour would be complete without a visit to the famous Platform 9¾, along with the Harry Potter Shop at Kings Cross station.

I will tell you stories of my encounters as a London cabby when I picked up Bellatrix Le Strange, Professor McGonagall and ‘he who must not be named’ (V——t). You will also see many of London's major sights on the tour and I will tell you their history and stories with plenty of stops for photos, coffee and snacks. Our tour usually finishes at platform 9¾, Kings Cross Station.

Return to Tilbury

After your London experience, your driver will escort you back to Tilbury Port. We'll coordinate the return journey to ensure you arrive with plenty of time before your ship sails.
