The magical world can be confusing for non-wizards. Our department is here to answer every question you have.

Covid-19 changes
Accordion purple arrow

We have changed the tour so there is no longer a tube journey and it is all on foot. The tour still takes the same amount of time, we have just packed in even more Potterific info!

If official guidelines mean we have to cancel the tour then we will provide as much notice as possible and refund your galleons back to your vault promptly.

If you wish to join one of our tours but have a question about the above information please contact us on bookings@tourformuggles.com and we will gladly address any queries.

What if I'm late?
Accordion purple arrow

It is essential that you arrive 10 minutes before the start time and unfortunately, we will not be able to provide a refund due to lateness or delay. Starting late will mean not experiencing the tour in full and we don’t want you to miss out! Please use the Journey Planner Site to see if there are any problems with the tube lines of the day of your tour.

Is the tour suitable for children/babies?
Accordion purple arrow

Mostly yes! It's great fun to have children but as it's a walking tour it can be too much for some little legs. We advise parents that it may be too tiring for children aged 7 and under. But ultimately you know your children best!

As for babies, As for babies, YES! We can absolutely accommodate babies on the tour and they will of course join for free.

What is your cancellation/reschedule policy?

What about the weather?
Accordion purple arrow

As with all outdoor events, it is subject to the elements. We will cancel the tour if the weather would make taking the tour dangerous (i.e. icy roads). If this is the case, we will notify you and issue you with a full refund.

Are you taking us to Kings Cross?
Accordion purple arrow

No, we do not include Kings Cross on our tour as it's the easier spot to find without a guide. If you'd like to go to Kings Cross, please ask our guide for information at the end of the tour!

Where do we go on the tour?
Accordion purple arrow

We start from the beautiful Leadenhall Market, near Monument, and traverse the winding roads of the City of London before crossing the Thames over to the southside and ending near London Bridge. The walking tour takes around 2 hours, with lots of magical locations and facts that even the die-hard Potter pro will learn something new!

What do I need to do before the tour?
