Your guide to a fun-filled weekend in the Big Smoke!
What makes London such a sought after location is the number of top-rated attractions it possesses. London has something to offer for anyone and everyone so make sure you take a look guide and tick off these attractions when in the UK Capital! Whether you’re looking for a cultural visit or more of an adrenaline junkie, then these attractions are for you.
Warner Bros Studio Tour
The Harry Potter film series made Leavesden it’s home for more than ten years. As the books were still being released while the films were being made, the production crew saved many of the iconic sets, props and costumes that were created especially for the films – just in case they were ever needed later on in the series. Once filming wrapped on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in 2010, the production crew were left with a treasure trove of thousands of intricate and beautifully-made artefacts, many of which wouldn’t have been saved on a typical production.
The team behind Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter wanted to preserve and showcase these iconic props, costumes, and sets so that Harry Potter fans could experience the magic of filmmaking first-hand. Many of the original cast and crew returned to reassemble the sets and record their memories from filming, and on 31st March 2012, the Studio Tour opened its doors.
