Harry Potter: Southwark to the City
After visiting the film location for the Leaky Cauldron (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) and the Third Hand Book Emporium, we admire a floating museum displaying the Gryffindor colours. See if you think this might be the inspiration for the Durmstrang ship in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
We see an infamous Muggle prison where prisoners were tortured and forgotten and compare that to the origins of Azkaban prison, once a place where Muggles were lured and tortured. Take in the iconic views of London as we cross Brockdale Bridge (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) and hear the spine-chilling eyewitness account of the Death Eater attack of June 1996.
In a city surrounded by dragons, we discuss the importance of the several security breaches at Gringotts Bank and learn about the wizarding world’s currency. How many galleons would a wand cost? Wind through the old streets of the City of London, will we find Diagon Alley? We venture to the original Leaky Cauldron where Harry Potter ventures for the first in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. – Discover the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron – Soak up behind-the-scenes secrets – Qualified guide
Customer Comments
"All of the walks are informative, entertaining and a great way to learn about, and see, things in London, that aren't necessarily the top 10 tourist sites. Hazel holds a wealth of information and delivers it in a manner that keeps the group engaged."
“Hazel provided an informative and fun commentary(and well microphoned up) on a cold and windy night. Took us to some places that,although a lifelong Londoner, I had not been to before. I would recommend her walks."
