Solo Travel | A Harry Potter-loving stroll through London

The reason I wanted to go to England was to visit Harry Potter holy sites 🇬🇧
Here are some Harry Potter spots I found in London.

[Location of Diagon Alley]

📍 Leadenhall Market

Leadenhall Market is one of the oldest markets in London, built in the 14th century.

As you can see, it is Diagon Alley itself.

It is said to be the location of the scene where Harry and Hagrid search for items they need at Hogwarts.

It has been repainted and renovated now, so it doesn't have that kind of atmosphere, but if you look closely, you can also find the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron.

📍 St. Pancras Station

The one filmed as King's Cross Station is actually this St. Pancras Station.

It appears in the scene where Harry and Ron head to Hogwarts in Ron's dad's flying car.

From the outside alone, it looks more impressive than the real King's Cross Station, so I prefer this one.

[The bridge destroyed by Death Eaters]

📍Millennium Bridge

This is a suspension bridge over the River Thames in London

It has also appeared in other movies.

In Harry Potter, it is used in the scene at the beginning of Half-Blood Prince

where the Death Eaters kidnap Ollivander and destroy it.

[The long-awaited Platform 9 and 3/4]

📍King's Cross Station

This is the No. 1 Harry Potter holy place in London,

King's Cross Station, where Platform 9 and 3/4 is set.

I didn't have anything in particular to do so I went there just to make a pilgrimage,

but I was overwhelmed by its spaciousness and advanced design.

The photo spot has a long line at any time of day.

When there are no people around, just take a quick photo.

If you want to take a commemorative photo, be prepared to line up.

There is a Harry Potter shop next door where you can buy souvenirs.
The interior is very elaborate, so you can enjoy it even if you don't buy anything☺️

📍House of secrets
There are several stores in London where you can buy Harry Potter goods, but this one has a very elaborate interior, so I recommend it to all Harry Potter fans.
There is a Hogwarts Express in the store, and models of various scenes are displayed.
There is also a wide variety of wands.
Even just window shopping is very satisfying🛍️
