# Three Harry Potter Nights in London: the Studio, the Filming Locations, the Play and Oxford One day at the Leavesden studio, another around London's filming locations with the stage play in the evening and another in the Oxford colleges, sleeping in a wizard's room. Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/england/london/itineraries/harry-potter-three-nights-london-oxford · Revisado: 2026-11-13 Dónde: London With three nights in London you see both faces of Harry Potter in England without rushing: the studio where the sets were built and the real places where it was filmed, in the city and in Oxford, with the stage play in between. Everything is done by Tube and train. Three things need booking well ahead: the studio ticket, the performance and, if you want to go up to the Hogwarts library, the Bodleian guided tour. ## What does it cost?

If you prefer an ordinary bed and more space, the Premier Inn County Hall, next to the London Eye, or the Citadines Holborn apartments, with a kitchen, suit the three days well. ## Where to eat At the studio, the Backlot Café halfway round; on Saturday, Borough Market next to the bridge; before the theatre, Dishoom Covent Garden, a short walk from the Palace Theatre. In Oxford, the Covered Market, which is open on Sundays too. ## With children The studio works from age 7 or 8, if they have seen the films. The stage play is long and in English: with young children, swap it for another afternoon in the centre and an early dinner. In Oxford, the Divinity School has no minimum age, but the Bodleian guided tour is for ages 11 and over; with the little ones, swap the tower or the tour for the Natural History Museum, which is free. ## El plan ### Thursday · 18:00 · Arrival and a night in a wizard's room You arrive at the Georgian House Hotel, in Pimlico, and go down the candlelit corridor to the room behind the bookcase.

If you go in those weeks, buy your ticket as soon as you have your dates: it is the season that fills up first. ## Cuándo no ir Squeezing the studio and Oxford into the same day with a coach excursion: they are two long half-days in different directions from London, and you see both in a hurry. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### How many days do you need for Harry Potter in London? Three: one for the studio, one for the city's filming locations and the theatre, and one for Oxford. ### Do I need to hire a car? No. Everything is done by Tube, train and on foot. ### What do I need to book beforehand? The studio ticket, the theatre performance and, if you want Duke Humfrey's, the Bodleian guided tour. Christ Church and New College are best online. ### How much does the plan cost? With three hotel nights, tickets, the train to Oxford and meals, from about €600 per person, excluding flights. The theatre and the hotel are what change the total most. ## Dónde dormir if you're flying - **Premier Inn London County Hall**: Two minutes from the London Eye and eight from Westminster. With one adult paying for breakfast, up to two children eat breakfast free. - **YHA London Central**: A hostel with private family rooms, with bunk beds. The cheapest option in the centre: there are few and they sell out early. - **Citadines Holborn-Covent Garden**: An apartment with a bedroom and a sofa bed, ten minutes' walk from Covent Garden. Being able to eat dinner in saves a lot in London. - **Georgian House Hotel**: A hotel in a nineteenth-century house in Pimlico with themed rooms: the Wizard Chambers, on the ground floor, reached along a corridor with portraits and candlelight. They have stone walls, stained glass, four-poster beds and cauldrons, and are the largest, designed for families of two to four. The smaller Enchanted Chambers open behind a door hidden in a bookcase. It is a wizard-themed hotel, not a filming location or an official product of the saga: you choose it for the night you spend in it. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 12:30 to 17:00, it serves a wizards' afternoon tea in the breakfast room, with 48 hours' notice, along with potions with and without alcohol (£25 and £20). The rooms are chosen by atmosphere rather than by size. The nearest Tube stations are Victoria and Pimlico. Who is it for? For families with children who know the saga and for adult fans who want a different night in London. The family rooms take two to four adults; there is a triple with room for an extra bed or a sofa bed for children up to 12, and cots on request. If what you want is space and a standard room, the hotel also has ordinary rooms, but then it loses its reason for being on this trip.
