Chapter One: A Christmas morning spell at Two Eyes Coffee House
Step into the warmth of Two Eyes Coffee House, nestled in the heart of Leadenhall Market, where holiday magic mixes with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. A smiling barista, maybe dressed in a Christmas jumper, serves you a steaming spiced latte or a rich hot chocolate .
You marvel at the iconic doorway that was used in the filming of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone as the entrance to the famous Leaky Cauldron - the magical wizarding pub and entrance to Diagon Alley! As you sip your drink, you feel the magic of the season and the wizarding world coming together.
Don’t forget to try one of Two Eyes’ festive treats: - it's a moment to savour before stepping into a day of adventures.
Chapter Two: Christmas wonder at Leadenhall Market
Once you’ve finished your festive drinks, pull your coat tight and step into the breathtaking Leadenhall Market. The historic Victorian arches are decorated, and Christmas shoppers wander beneath the glittering canopy.
As you walk, you can almost imagine Hagrid and Harry bustling through the market on a snowy day, making their way to Diagon Alley.
Chapter Three: Platform 9 ¾ and a dash of holiday magic
Next, it’s time to hop on the Tube to King’s Cross Station. The station is buzzing with festive energy, particularly around the area near Platform 9 ¾. Join the line of visitors eagerly waiting to take a photo where the luggage trolley disappeard into the wall.Will you be wearing your Gryffindor scarf for your snapshot? Smile for the camera at the playful spirit of the season.
Afterwards, pop into the Harry Potter shop, which has been transformed into a winter wonderland of magical gifts. From Hogwarts-themed Christmas ornaments to spellbinding stocking fillers, it’s a perfect stop to pick up something special.
Chapter Four: St Pancras Station’s magical clock tower
Just a short walk away, the clock tower at St Pancras Station stands tall, wrapped in the soft glow of London’s winter light. Take a festive photo by the tower, where the grandeur of the building, combined with the memory of Ron and Harry’s flying car escape, makes for a fun and memorable stop.
Chapter Five: Enchanted strolls and holiday highlights
If time allows, why not end your day at the London Zoo’s Reptile House, where Harry’s Parseltongue skills first made an appearance? The animals seem to join in the holiday spirit. It’s a delightful way to conclude a day of magic and Christmas joy.
