Tower Bridge Upper Mooring Hotel Transfer: Harry Potter Film Locations Black Cab Tour

Step off your cruise ship at the spectacular Tower Bridge Upper Mooring—berthed right in the middle of the Thames next to the historic HMS Belfast—and right into a classic London icon. Your private, traditional Black Cab will be waiting for you at the shoreside landing point, ready to handle your luggage and sweep you away for a magical combination of a hotel transfer and a London film tour.

From Diagon Alley in the City of London to the Ministry of Magic in historic Westminster—we will drive over the very bridge that the triple-decker Knight Bus sped over, and visit filming sites across Westminster, the City, and Southwark. Along the way, we'll share the history of London's iconic landmarks and show you how they were magically transformed for the movies.

Seamless Arrival & Hotel Luggage Drop

We will meet you right at your riverfront landing point next to HMS Belfast to begin your magical experience. You get the ultimate double-act for your private tour:

Your driver, Shane Healy—also a qualified Westminster Guide—will handle your luggage and safely drive you straight from the mooring to your Central London hotel. We'll build in waiting time so you can securely drop your bags at the hotel reception before the main tour begins.

Once your bags are taken care of, your dedicated guide, Lee Cooper, joins the party to give you his undivided attention. While Shane handles the driving, Lee shares his deep wizarding knowledge alongside a collection of witty cabbie stories. This taxi-based tour maximises sightseeing and minimises walking. You can follow Lee’s expert route or customise the adventure on the fly.

Discover Harry Potter Film Locations

The official tour starts the moment your bags are dropped, and you can spend as much time as you wish at the various locations. We will also allow plenty of time for photographs.

We’ll visit the actual film locations of Diagon Alley, The Leaky Cauldron, Gringotts Bank (interior when open), the "Wobbly" Millennium Bridge, the Ministry of Magic site, and follow the exact route of the Knight Bus. And, of course, no Harry Potter tour would be complete without a visit to the famous Platform 9¾ and the Harry Potter Shop at King's Cross Station.

During the drive, Lee will share stories of his real-life encounters as a London cabby when he picked up Bellatrix Lestrange, Professor McGonagall, and "He Who Must Not Be Named" (V——t). Because you are already starting in Central London, you will see an incredible concentration of major sights, with plenty of quick stops for photos, coffee, and snacks.

Seamless hotel drop off

Our tour wraps up near Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station. Afterward, sit back and relax as Shane and Lee escort you in the cab directly back to your Central London hotel. We'll drop you right at the entrance so you can unwind and look back on an unforgettable, hassle-free day of exploration.
