A special event for Study Abroad students, and their friends.

London Walks tour guide, Andy Hallett takes you on a wicked walking tour though the mysterious old City of London. Betwixt and between the film locations we hit the sweet spots – the very best of quirky, peculiar, curious, lost old London. The tour company says…. "This walk 'Potters' through the old City of London. You’ll see most of the great buildings of the ancient City: the Bank of England, Mansion House, the wonderful Leadenhall Market, a close up view of the ‘Gherkin’ and magnificent St Paul’s Cathedral.

You’ll cross the river by way of London Bridge. You’ll see film locations where Hagrid and Harry make their way to Diagon Alley in the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. You’ll see where Harry, Mad-Eye Moody, Nymphadora Tonks and their friends fly in The Order of the Phoenix. And you’ll see the locations used for the Leaky Cauldron and the Third Hand Book Emporium in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. And lots more. What's not to like about a London Walk packed with history and Harry Potter. So come on muggles, it's time to enter the maze.
