Platform 9 3/4 ranks 5th on the list of best Harry Potter things to do in London. The unmistakable number one on the Harry Potter list of things to do in London! Platform 9 3/4 is located at Kings Cross Station and is where Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry students board the Hogwarts Express. In the films, the students have to take the train from Platform 9 3/4 on September 1 to come to school. However, you can visit and take photos at perhaps London’s most famous Harry Potter location 365 days a year!
It is easy to find the luggage trolley embedded in the wall. Take the Tube to Kings Cross Tube Station and then to Kings Cross Rail Station, follow the exit signs. Once inside the overground station, look for the large black departure boards that show all train departure times. Turn left when facing the boards, and you won’t miss it. The Harry Potter shop is right next door. Time turners, horcruxes and games, as well as Hogwarts school shirts in house colours, can be found in this shop, which is designed to look like Ollivander’s wand.
The cart is open 24 hours a day and you are not charged for taking your own photos. Every day from 9 am to 9 pm there is a professional photographer on site. Offers the service of photographing you wearing a scarf in your house colors, which is then displayed and sold inside the Harry Potter shop next door.
