London Bus Tour

The Harry Potter London Bus Tour is a reasonably pleasant two hour excursion to see the most prominent locations in London seen in the Harry Potter films. You’ll stop at half a dozen sites and pass as many others without stopping. The tour guide is chatty and knowledgeable. You could get to all the sites yourself, but the tour is any easy way to decide if there are any that warrant more time on your own. When I took it, it ran on Wednesday and Saturday at 2:00 pm. There are other competing bus and taxi tours and both ‘official’ and do-it-yourself walking tours. Guides for the latter are available for free on the Internet. One place you’ll want to return to is Burough Market (the Leaky Cauldron exterior shot in Prisoner of Azkaban). There is just no better place for open air food shopping and a sidewalk lunch. I could eat there every day. Yum!
