Magical days out in London start at Two Eyes Coffee House - the doorway to a Harry Potter experience

London is a city filled with secrets; for Harry Potter fans, it’s a treasure trove of magical experiences waiting to be discovered. 

If you’re planning a day of exploring the wizarding world’s iconic locations, there’s no better place to start than Two Eyes Coffee House. Nestled in Leadenhall Market, in the heart of The City of London, Two Eyes is not only a great place to grab refreshments but it is also a key part of Harry Potter history.

Morning Magic at Two Eyes Coffee House

Begin your day with a touch of magic at Two Eyes Coffee House, where you can enjoy a delicious coffee surrounded by the history of one of the most famous doors in film history! This unassuming entrance was used as the front door of the Leaky Cauldron in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and is a must-see for any fan. 

As you sip your morning coffee, you’ll be where Harry first entered the wizarding world.

Two Eyes Coffee House offers a variety of refreshments and a selection of coffees from around the world, freshly made by our magic team! 

Whether you’re in the mood for a double espresso a delicious latte or a cup of tea and a croissant, you’ll find something to satisfy your appetite before setting off on your magical journey.

Explore the wizarding world: Leadenhall Market and more

After refreshments, it's time to walk back through Two Eyes’ iconic front door to delve into the magical side of London. In addition to serving as the exterior for the Leaky Cauldron in The Philosopher’s Stone, Leadenhall Market’s beautiful Victorian architecture is worth exploring on its own and for Harry Potter fans, it’s a thrill to stand where Hagrid and Harry walked as they made their way to Diagon Alley.

From Leadenhall Market, you can take a short tube ride to other famous Harry Potter locations. 

Head to King’s Cross Station to look for Platform 9 ¾, maybe snap a photo with the iconic luggage cart disappearing into the wall. Don’t forget to stop by the official Harry Potter shop for some unique souvenirs.

For those wanting to explore even more, St Pancras Station, just across the road from King’s Cross, is another great stop. The clock tower at the station was prominently featured in the films, and the exterior was used in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when Harry and Ron took flight in the Ford Anglia.

Continue your magical journey by visiting Great Scotland Yard, the entrance to the Ministry of Magic. While the actual building is a government office, it’s still a thrill to see the location where many pivotal scenes took place.

Next, take a stroll across Lambeth Bridge, which was used in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when the Knight Bus squeezed between two double-decker buses. It’s a fun spot to imagine the wild ride that Harry experienced on his way back to the wizarding world.

If time permits, make your way to the London Zoo, where Harry first discovered his ability to speak to snakes in The Philosopher’s Stone. The Reptile House is still there, and it’s a fascinating place to visit, whether you’re a fan of the films or just love animals.
