Best Harry Potter Hotels in London: At a Glance 

Best harry potter-themed hotels in london , georgian house hotel.

£££

From the outside, Georgian House Hotel doesn’t exactly strike you as enchanting. But, don’t let that fool you into thinking that this is not the best Harry Potter-themed hotel in London. Behind that ordinary door is a magical wizarding world and Hogwarts awaits you.

Inside this Georgian hotel you’ll find an abundance of character and charm – and that’s before you even reach your wizarding sleeping quarters. 

Concealed in the lower ground floor of this award-winning hotel, curious guests can find the wizarding chamber. It’s in this area of the 19th Century hotel that muggles have no entry, so you best remember to pack your Hogwarts acceptance letter. 

Once in the chamber, wizards pass through a portrait-lined passageway lit by candlelight – that’s as close to The Great Hall as you’re going to get. 

There are two types of stay here: The Wizards Chamber and The Enchanted Chamber.

The Wizard’s Chamber has mystical gothic rooms featuring magical castle details with stained glass windows, stone walls, archways, trunks and cauldrons. Sleep in four-poster beds hung with velvet curtains that are almost the exact replica of Gryffindor’s living quarters. 

The Enchanted Chamber is a little smaller and cosier than that of the wizards, but still just as magical. These rooms are designed for couples, and you can find these rooms concealed behind a bookcase door on the lower ground floor and feature the same Harry Potter memorabilia. 

During your stay, non-muggles can enjoy a bewitched breakfast experience, enchanted afternoon tea and wizard potion making on Saturday through Sunday.

Hagrid’s Hut

Hagrid is one of the most intriguing Harry Potter characters, and his hut was an interesting place that was off limits to some. But not to you – you can stay in a real life replica of Hagrid’s Hut . 

Slip on your Hogwarts uniform that’s waiting for you at the entrance, no muggles allowed and certainly no Slytherin – this uniform is for Gryfindors only. 

Just in case you weren’t sure if Hagrid actually lived here, there’s a life-size cut out of Hagrid and his frightening furry friend. If you’re afraid of spiders, then beware there’s a miniature version of Aragog (Hargrid’s pet spider). 

Inside Hagrid’s Hut is a stone walled living area that’s fit for wizards and witches and has everything you need to perform dark arts spells and potions. Sitting above a roaring fire is a miniature version of Hippogriff – the part horse, part eagle who comes to Harry’s rescue on more than one occasion. 

There’s no shortage of owls at Hagrid’s Hut and it’s Harry Potter tradition that all wizards be assigned one. And, despite being a hut in the enchanting forest, Hagrid’s hut has all the modern modcons you could need like WiFi, flat screen TV’s and a fully equipped kitchen. 

There’s two bedrooms at Hagrid’s Hut, one with bunks beds for little Hogwarts attendees. You’ll find the magic continues here too, magical floating candles, more owls and the bigger bedroom has a stone wall just like Hagrid’s Hut. 

Harry’s House

All wizards are welcome to stay at Harry’s House , and muggles are tolerated. Fans will love this Harry Potter-themed house which is just a short drive from the Harry Potter Studio Tour.

This enchanting Harry Potter apartment transports you into the film sets as soon as you step foot inside the wizarding world. Harry’s House comes with two bedrooms, one for the big kids, with magical candles floating candles as a lamp shade… And beware of the basilisk lurking around the bed frame. 

Little wizards will find their wizarding quarters have bunk beds, and all children are assigned an owl throughout their stay. You’ll even find trunks for draws and Nimbus 2000’s incase you fancy a game of quidditch in the garden. 

The magic continues in the hallway where you can enter platform 9 & ¾, but we wouldn’t recommend muggles attempt to enter. Ouch. Enjoy a magnificent feast in The Great Hall, complete with floating candles, Harry Potter House’s memorabilia and a magical starlight projector. 

Dotted around Harry’s House, there are plenty of reminders that you’re now in Hogwarts. In the living quarters there’s a roasting fire alongside an ink pot and quill to scribble down all your spells and potions.  

This Harry Potter hotel in London even has a Harry Potter themed toilet seat, there’s nothing from the wizarding world you won’t find at Harry’s House. And, even though this house is for wizards, modern wizards still need WiFi, flat screen TV’s and a fully equipped kitchen for you to whip up a feast. 

Harry Potter Hotels in London: Frequently Asked Questions

Can you sleep at harry potter world london.

Unfortunately, you can’t sleep at Harry Potter World. But, there’s some wizardly wonderful Harry Potter-themed hotels that you can stay at. The Georgian House Hotel has a secret Harry Potter living quarters that’ll make you feel like you’re in Hogwarts.

How far is Harry Potter world from King’s Cross? 

The Warner Brothers Studios in Watford is 21 miles away from King’s Cross . Driving from London King’s Cross Station, where the platform 9 & ¾ is, takes roughly 30 minutes. Though, London traffic is no joke so expect this to take up to an hour. I’d recommend hopping on a train (there are specific buses from Watford, the nearest railway station) or booking onto a tour. 

Where in London is Diagon Alley? 

Parts of Diagon Alley were filmed in London at Leadenhall Market . Leadenhall Market is in the City of London, and you might recognize it from the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.  Other locations for Diagon Alley include Stoney Street (by Borough Market) and of course, at the Warner Bros Studios.

About Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter

A visit to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London really is a must see experience. Step on to authentic sets, discover the magic behind spellbinding special effects and explore the behind-the-scenes secrets of the Harry Potter film series.

The tour itself is a walking tour that on average takes around 4 hours. Warner Bros. Studio Tour is not a theme park and as such will not feature rides, or experiences of this nature.

The attraction gives visitors a chance to go behind the scenes of the actual sets of the Harry Potter film series. Only a small part of the Studio Tour is guided so you can take the tour at your own pace.

As well as the  impressive sets, you will also discover hundreds of costumes, props and animatronics  that bring to life the incredible skill and effort involved in creating the much loved films.

Some parts of the tour are interactive and can be touched, some sections can be viewed and not touched.

Families will find plenty to entertain their children, with interactive elements available like wand training and they can even fly their own broom (additional cost). There is a souvenir guidebook and digital guide available as well as a shop full of everything Harry Potter you can imagine.

The 10 Best Harry Potter Tours in London

Grab your wands and prepare for a magical trip through London.

Courtesy of Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter

A highlight of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter is seeing the model of Hogwarts.

Though you won't find Eeylops Owl Emporium, Flourish and Blotts, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes or Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions in London 's streets, that doesn't mean you can't indulge in the world of "Harry Potter." Knowledgeable witches and wizards lead themed tours that discuss not only filming locations for the beloved Potter films, but also the wizarding world's most famous individuals like Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

Consulting Muggle traveler opinion as well as expert input from the top witches and wizards, U.S. News & World Report found the best Harry Potter London tours on offer.

Note: These tours take place on foot, by bus or on trains, so it's best to leave your brooms and Floo powder at home.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter

Price: From 51.50 pounds (around $64) per person Duration: 3.5 hours

For Potterheads, no trip to London is complete without a stop to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter , which explores how the "Harry Potter" films were made. During the self-guided visit, travelers will wander the Diagon Alley set, board the Hogwarts Express, view props and costumes and much, much more.

"As both a filmmaker and 'Harry Potter' fan, I was absolutely blown away by this tour," says Leilani Osmundson , digital producer at U.S. News Travel. "The sets, props and costumes were incredible and very well-maintained, and there were written explanations for almost everything." Osmundson suggests staying at the back of the group when entering the Great Hall for a chance to snag photos with fewer people in the shot when the group moves on. Keep in mind, this great experience comes with equivalent fees: Travelers warn of high ticket prices and expensive souvenirs. To avoid crowds, get to the studio early.

Tickets start at 51.50 pounds (about $64) per person. Children 3 and younger as well as caregivers can explore for free. Ticket packages that include a stay at a hotel or afternoon tea cost extra.

Best way to see the HP studio

We booked this private escorted visit to Harry Potter because with 3 kids, it just seemed so much easier. We were so glad that we did because we could enjoy the visit to the Studios a whole lot more. It's actually a fun place and if you're a Harry Potter fan -- as we all are -- it's a "must see"! Having the private driver take us directly from our hotel to the studios and then back again was a heaven-sent!! Thank you LivTours!

Harry Potter Studio

Great family experience! We are all HP fans so couldn't miss the chance to see the studio. So glad we had our own private driver instead of trying to take public transportation. Made the whole experience so much more enjoyable.

H.P. studio visit

We were picked up at our hotel and taken in a comfortable limousine to the Harry Potter Studios just outside of London. Our driver was very friendly and gave us many tips on where to be and when so that we could get the very most out of our visit. It was very nice not to have to worry about where to go or how to get there and just to sit back and let someone else take care of all of the details. This definitely deserves 5 stars!

Everyone could have fun

This was the first time our children had been abroad so it was important to plan things that would be really interesting and memorable for them. Obviously, you can't go wrong with the Harry Potter Studios! While it would have been fun no matter what, my wife and I really appreciated the fact that LivTours took care of all of the transportation, tickets and other hassles that might have come up had we been on our own. This way, it was completely stress-free and that much more enjoyable for us adults as well as for the kids! This sort of thing is really worth its weight in gold!!! Thanks LivTours!!

Unforgettable experience

Everyone in our family (son age 10 and daughter age 12, including my husband and myself) are Harry Potter fans so there was no way we could pass up the opportunity to see the Harry Potter studios. By taking this tour offered by LivTours, we were driven in a comfortable Mercedes van to and from the studios (outside of the city), there was no waiting in lines or worrying about train schedules or routes. We could just simply enjoy and that's exactly what we did!! We had a great time that we will all remember forever.
