Plan your trip and tour
The Harry Potter Studio Tour opens its doors at 9:30 AM every day, with the first tour kicking off at 10:00 AM.
Closing times change depending on the season – the studio usually closes at 8:00 PM most of the time, but stays open until 10:00 PM during special events.
The studio is only closed on December 25th and 26th.
Your ticket comes with a specific arrival time slot, but once you’re inside, you can explore as long as you want until closing – most people spend 3-4 hours soaking up all the magic.
You need to book ahead because you can’t just walk in and buy tickets on the day.
The studio is located in Leavesden, Hertfordshire, about 20 miles northwest of central London.
You can’t get there on regular London public transport, but there are several easy ways to reach it: special shuttle buses leave from Watford Junction (just a 20-minute train ride from London Euston), or you can book a tour package that includes coach transport from Victoria. Return transportation options are available from central London locations such as Victoria Station, London Victoria, and Baker Street, with many packages including flexible return times and premium seating.
If you’re driving, just follow the signs for WD25 7LR – there’s free parking right on-site.
Recharge halfway through your visit at the famous Backlot Café, home to the legendary Butterbeer (seriously, you have to try it). The Studio Café near the entrance serves breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks. Both places offer hot meals, sandwiches, and special dietary options including vegan and gluten-free choices.
The studio often sells out weeks in advance, so booking early is essential. However, last minute tickets sometimes become available due to cancellations – check the official website for current availability.
You’ll find cloakrooms, pushchair rental, and free WiFi everywhere you go. The studio features original props, unique props, and iconic sets from the Harry Potter world, including the golden snitch, potion jars, and Professor Dumbledore’s office. Visitors can see their favourite characters’ costumes and props, and experience the wizarding world through immersive sets and visual effects, including green screen technology used in the making of the films.
The massive gift shop at the end of your tour is packed with exclusive merchandise – make sure to save extra time and money for this incredible collection of magical souvenirs. Hogwarts in the Snow is a special seasonal event that transforms the studio into a magical winter wonderland, and Magical Mischief is another event showcasing filmmaking tricks.
