Continue with the Thames River Cruise, gliding past monuments and locations from countless films and TV series.

Spend a full day at the magical Warner Bros. Studio Tour exploring authentic Harry Potter sets including the magnificent Great Hall, Diagon Alley, and Platform 9¾. Marvel at intricate costumes, props, and behind-the-scenes secrets that brought the wizarding world to life.

Your final London day is free to explore more film locations at your own pace. In central London, visit King's Cross Station's Platform 9¾, explore Leadenhall Market where Leaky Cauldron scenes were filmed, discover locations from Sherlock or The Crown, or visit Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.

Immerse yourself in music and film history at The Beatles Story Museum, journeying through the Fab Four's incredible story and their impact on popular culture. Explore the legendary Mathew Street and Cavern Club district.

Liverpool's distinctive architecture has made it a popular filming location, with its waterfront doubling for New York in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and appearing in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The city's streets also featured prominently in Peaky Blinders.

Wander through The Shambles and visit the magnificent York Minster cathedral, featured in period dramas including Victoria (where it doubled for Westminster Abbey) and A Little Chaos. The Minster's spectacular architecture and surrounding medieval streets have made York a favourite for productions like Bridgerton.
