I found about harry potter’s filming location in London and finally I choice 9 attractive locations and 1 near by London.
1. Cafe Attack ( Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows )
Location: Piccadilly Circus/Shaftesbury Ave
The cafe where Harry, Hermione and Ron’s have their fraught late-night cuppa is buried somewhere on a Leavesden soundstage,
but even if it did exist we can’t recommend going there – it’s crawling with Death Eaters and the service is terrible. It’s a simple
business to follow in their Deathly Hallows footsteps, though. Just take the tube to Piccadilly Circus, pick the exit marked
‘Shaftesbury Avenue’ and head that way. If you’re travelling by Apparate spell, aim for the Gap outlet.
2. Leadenhall Market ( Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone )
Location: Leadenhall Market
Leadenhall Market was used as Diagon Alley in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
Just across London Bridge you’ll find Leadenhall Market, an ornate Victorian emporium of all things fruit, veg and meat. It’s a
second home to Diagon Alley, with exterior shots of the market appearing in The Philosopher’s Stone. Hagrid and Harry enter
the fantastical thoroughfare via Glass House Opticians, which you can still find at 42 Bull’s Head Passage. From Leadenhall,
Potter completists will want to head up to Lincoln’s Inn Fields to find the home of Sirius Black, 12 Grimauld Place, which is not
as unplottable as all that.
3. Millennium Bridge ( Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ) and 4. Houses of Parliament
Location: St. Pauls
“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” opens with a dramatic sequence of the Millennium Bridge in London collapsing.
A pedestrian-only steel suspension bridge crossing River Thames, the Millennium Footbridge links Bankside with the City.
+ Westminster Underground Station ( Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix )
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Harry and Mr Weasley pass through Westminster Underground Station en route to Harry’s hearing at the Ministry of Magic.
It is one of the ticket barriers across from this entrance that gives Mr Weasley problems as he tries to exit through it.
5. Borough Market ( Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban )
Location: Borough Market
That hair-rising Knight Bus ride ends up at the secret entrance of Diagon Alley, known more commonly as gastro-paradise
Borough Market and the perfect spot for lunch on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. You’re more likely to pick up a skinny latte
than a foaming tankard of butterbeer, but a pumpkin pastie is not out of the question. Harry’s Knight Bus screams to halt here,
via Palmers Green, Lambeth and that inconveniently parked car, to drop him at The Leaky Cauldron. Along with Leadenhall
Market, Great Newport St and Smithfields (which are, confusingly, not even slightly close together), Borough is one of the
labyrinthine surrogates for Diagon Alley, although the most magical thing you can buy here is a piece of Roquefort, a single sniff
of which will reduce a grown adult to tears.
6. London Zoo’s Reptile House ( Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone )
Location : Regent park
With Dudley Dursley’s family, harry went London zoo. In there, harry could communication with snake and the magic.
7. Tower Bridge and HMS Belfast ( Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix )
Location : tower hill station
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Harry and the members of the order fly along the Thames on their broomsticks
enroute to 12 Grimauld Place. This is one of the sections of the Thames shown in the broomstick flight scene
8. King’s cross 9 and 3/4 ( Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone )
Location : King’s cross station
The Hogwarts Express departs from ‘Platform 9 ¾’ at King’s Cross Station, which is actually the arched wall between Platforms 4 and 5. If that seems short on magic, head towards the entrance to Platforms 9, 10 and 11 on the west side of the station. There you’ll find a trolley disappearing into the magical realm through a wall marked ‘Platform 9 ¾’.
+ 9. Bodleian Library
Location : Oxford, Broad St
The medieval Duke Humfrey’s Library was used as the Hogwarts library and the elaborately vaulted Divinity School became Hogwart’s infirmary. Tour this historic place of learning to see where Oscar Wilde, C S Lewis and J R R Tolkien once studied
