Walk of the Week

NEW: Every Monday we’ll pluck just one walk from the vast London Walks repertoire and put it center stage.
You can check out the full schedule at www.walks.com.
But if you only take one walking tour this week, why not make it…
The Harry Potter Quest
Every Wednesday at 6:30 pm from TempleTube
Quest. Pilgrimage. Walking with Walker. Pottering after Potter. Call it what you will, this one's a keeper. It's wizard. It's coming round a corner and there's the missing piece to the puzzle: the real thing. The bank. The packed-with-Potter-atmosphere gas-lit courtyard twice used by the Harry Potter production team. Platform 9 ¾ . The mansion where the last tortured moments of Charity Burbage… London locations that got the fairy dust treatment. Got translated to the most magical screen of all – the dazzling, dizzying, derring-do world of the Elder Wand, the Cloak of Invisibility, the Resurrection Stone, the Horcruxes. And answering the "if yer know where to look" summons, the Prince of Potter guides, actor Richard Walker, he of the spookily perfect name. Let alone the spookily perfect skill set for this walk: the great voice, flawless timing, a bit of edginess, lots of warmth. And as long as we're at it here's the little film of one of our Harry Potter walks.
