Many tours include behind-the-scenes access, and some even venture outside the city to Warner Bros. Studios, where much of the Harry Potter series was filmed. Pick your fandom, and then pick your London movie tour.

Per one customer who booked the Fully Guided Tour of Warner Bros Studio Tour London -- The Making of Harry Potter, "My friend and I booked the more expensive package because we are not familiar with London public transport. We are so grateful we did because the meet and greet guide walked us through the whole process to the studio. It was worth it for ease. Also the guided tour itself was great, we got access to longer queues quickly and facts we may not have otherwise heard if we did it ourselves."
What should I know before booking London movie tours?
Before booking a London movie tour, check whether it’s a walking or vehicle tour. Walking tours give you an intimate perspective of the city, but tours by car or bus may be better suited to travelers with mobility limitations, or when the weather’s bad. Also, check whether the tour takes place in London itself or travels further afield. Some tours stick to the city, while others visit on-site filming locations in areas such as Oxford, Hampshire, Bath, and Watford.
What are the best tips for enjoying London movie tours?
Whether you’re taking an outdoor walking tour or a guided tour of indoor film studios, wear comfortable shoes, as you’re likely to do quite a bit of standing and walking. Also, make sure your phone or camera is fully charged. London movie tours typically give you plenty of chances to take themed photos of sites that featured in your favorite movies.
