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.

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.
If you’re driving, just follow the signs for WD25 7LR – there’s free parking right on-site. When you arrive, show your booking confirmation at the main entrance lobby, and that’s where your magical journey officially starts.
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. You’ll find cloakrooms, pushchair rental, and free WiFi everywhere you go.
