About this experience

Harry Potter film sites tour with The Shard tickets Book this small-group walking tour of London's Harry Potter film locations, then finish with entry to The Shard. The experience takes about 4 hours 30 minutes and tickets start from £68 per person. The price changes with the date and start time you choose. Your Shard entry is included, so there is no separate ticket to buy. The tour starts at 09:30. You meet your guide and group inside King's Cross Station, at the steps to The Parcel Yard opposite the Platform 9¾ shop. From there you visit streets, bridges and shops from the films, the theatre where Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is performed, and Leicester Square. Groups have a maximum of 20 people.

Your view from The Shard After the tour you head to The Shard and take the lift to Level 68 for the indoor view, or go up to the open-air Skydeck on Level 72. The viewing galleries are 244 metres above the street, and the building itself is 309.6 metres tall. On a clear day the view reaches up to 40 miles (64 km), with the Thames, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London laid out below. Our Shard visitor guide explains opening times, last entry and what to expect. If you only want the view, book standalone The View from The Shard tickets.

Getting to The Shard The Shard entrance is on Joiner Street, a 2 minute walk from London Bridge station, which is served by the Northern and Jubilee lines and National Rail. Opening times at the viewing galleries vary by date and with events, and last entry is 1 hour before closing. How your booking works Choose your date and start time at checkout.
