Harry Potter Locations In London

[@SM-Flyers]

I love when Vicki presents, her London transport videos were a lot of fun to watch! I also loved that I have been to every one of those locations!

[@Tubekeny1]

Another classic from Vicki. Possibly the best presenter not on telly

[@keithspillett7312]

Ken Young I'd agree with you there - she'd be great on something like The One Show. Come on BBC....

[@neilfoord11]

I'd give her one!!

[@Smartychase]

@@neilfoord11 give her one as in a presenting job?

[@RichardGMoss]

Vicki is such an excellent presenter, we need more of her presentations.

[@MinecowplaysMC]

Anyone notice she said 'Mr Weasly and Ron' entered the ministry via the phone box guest entrance?

[@BritainsRailways]

yes i did. It should be Mr Weasly and Harry.

[@thatswindonrailenthusiast3448]

I did

[@susankline7366]

Just before 4 mins

[@ikkentim]

Yep!

[@meckcervellone]

Yews

[@cameronmorgan7886]

Have missed you Vicki! All of your videos are both informative and entertaining :)

[@NEJOHN75]

Shown this to the wife, now she wants to visit some of the places. Time for another trip to London. Great to see you back on KZbin.

[@harryvlogger4360]

NightTube1975 - I wonder whether you may find interest in... Interview with Emma Watson, Almost kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIfNiGyElplgaLs (It has HP from start to end so watch out for the "Hidden Eggs" as they say in the movie business! More Harry Potter content in my Channel, launch last month! Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy the videos! Harry Vlogger

[@RichardGMoss]

Great to see that Vicki is back, one of the best presenters on KZbin. don't keep her hidden for too long before the next video!

[@andrewholloway231]

A really good video. Vicki is a very enthusiastic and accomplished presenter.

[@RayRayTay90]

Oh wow accidently stumbled on this...didn't know Vicki also Vlog for the Londonist. She works for the London Transport Museum...woooohoo go Vicki!

[@chrisambidge9149]

This is super, thank you. You missed Australia House (which is in Strand), which was used as the external parts of Gringotts Bank.

[@DavidBromage]

Would be great to do one on James Bond locations.

[@DavidBromage]

+Geofftech Ealing comedies? Carry on? Wikipedia also has a list of films featuring the Underground!

[@greenwood7006]

+Geofftech the inbetweeners please

[@DavidBromage]

***** Hitchcock would be a great one! Lots of iconic locations. Unfortunately the former Gainsborough Studios is now a block of flats but there is a statue of him there.

[@Mortimer50145]

Yes we could have one about all the locations in Frenzy, such as those in and around Covent Garden (including the doorway of the famous tracking shot from Rusk's flat down the stairs in the studio set and out through the door onto the pavement, with the join masked by a man carrying a sack of potatoes who walks across the frame), and the location of Mrs Blaney's marriage agency.

[@paulsengupta971]

The first Carry On film, Carry on Sergeant was filmed just down the road from me in Stoughton Barracks in Guildford.

[@jasminejohnston6393]

JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, had a very depressing backstory before she started writing her first novel. She dropped out of college at 17 years old, and a couple of years later her mom died from a disease. After that she suffered a miscarriage. She did eventually get married, but her husband abused her. She did have a successful pregnancy that resulted in a baby girl...but shortly after her daughter was born she got divorced and was a single mother on welfare. Then she was diagnosed with severe depression and almost committed suicide when she was 30 years old. She decided against it and focused on the one thing she could do better than anything else, which was writing stories. She wrote Harry Potter and became a famous author!

[@the_trevoir]

Great editing. It really made this video shine. Lumos!

[@brandonsmith1198]

I really like how you’re showing the real locations I really enjoy them all

[@LisaMarli]

We did a Harry Potter tour in Great Britain a number of years ago. There were only 2 movies, and book 4 came out while we were touring. But it was great fun.

[@jezzaqc]

Need more Vikki on Londonist! She’s fab!

[@Dave-hn5tl]

Little bit late but parts of The Half-Blood Prince was filmed it Surbiton Station.

[@kt1pl2]

This would have been a lot better if you would have inserted pictures of the film so we could see exactly what you're talking about. I know I hadn't seen the movies in years and couldn't really put the images to the places.

[@norbitonflyer5625]

Probably copyright issues would have prevented it. Would have been nice though.

[@jharris947]

Sorry bit I found it hard to watch without a reference picture or clip. Gave up after 2 minutes.

[@cpsedmonds]

There's definitely a part 2 in there somewhere!

[@BritainsRailways]

Another Fact about Kings Cross is that in most of the films the Hogwarts Express and it's locomotive, 'Hogwarts Castle' AKA Alton Hall is facing the wrong direction, towards London not towards the North and the station Exit!

[@mennonis]

i love that that is a thing that gets noticed

[@helenlunn3829]

It's Olton Hall, but apart from that, yes

[@markj48]

Search V Pipe for new Harry Potter vids. This deserves lots of love

[@jonathancook4022]

I think the blend of old and new in harry potter is very interesting.

[@kaiklopsch8590]

What about Sherlock... (especially the newer ones with Cumberbatch and Freeman...)?

[@Londonistvids]

yup! see the Poll in the video ...

[@kaiklopsch8590]

All of it? Even Baker Street - which wasn't filmed in the real Baker Street, but still in London...or not?

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

Sherlock used 187 North Gower Street, near Euston Square tube station.

[@ttourmalinee]

Kai Klopsch YES I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT!!

[@banana_man_101]

go to speedy's

[@colinsheppard3991]

Nice video, and a Potter fan myself and am trying to go to some locations in the films, this video was inforamtive Thanks. Have been to Kings Cross,Milleinum Bridge,North Yorkshire Moor Railway (not London) and Surbiton Station. I only went to Lambeth bridge the other week

[@DarcAngel77]

I Love the vids guys, so informative, keep up the good work keep posting!

[@christopherwilson1878]

Also of note... it is said that under one of the platforms [some think platform 10] at Kings Cross station, is where the Iceni warrior Boudicea body is said to lay in folklore after the Battle of Watling Street. Her warrior horde of over 200,000 strong were wiped out by Roman leader Tacitus. it is said that she drank poison to die with her warriors after the defeat of the Britons.

[@WagDemTails]

I loved the marauder’s map that you used as the name for locations! I bet you had to keep going like, Lumos, I solemnly swear that I’m up to no good, Mischief Managed, Nox! 😂

[@67surferdude]

From Boston, MA Love the Harry Potter Movies and ty for showing us the locations from the film :)

[@thomasrice4078]

Must find you the next time i'm in town. You give a great tour!

[@aviator3926]

Glad to hear that Vicki is a Harry Potter fan.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Love it! Something to do next time I'm in London!

[@cpfcfly1]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Harry not Ron who went in the phone box in Whitehall to get into the Ministry? 3:56

[@VickiPipe]

Good spot! I only noticed it this morning. I got it right the first time, but the second time, accidentally said Ron. Don't worry I'm sending myself a Howler about it.

[@melvynbuckton6881]

Films were made just outside London near Watford.

[@Mortimer50145]

Come up here to the National Railway Museum in York and see if you can find the authentically aged and distressed "Platform 9 3/4" sign in 1960s British Rail white-on-orange style.

[@pietroterranova8357]

The tour is incomplete because there are a lot of places : millenium bridge, leicester square, piccadilly circus, convent garden, Leadenhall market.

[@MTrains]

Surbiton Station was used too!

[@Rog5446]

I was surfing youtube (as you do) and saw HP Locations in London and thought, that might be interesting. What a pleasant surprise to see it was the huggable Vicki Pipe doing the honours. I wonder, did Geoff do the videoing?

[@Rog5446]

I'll sit down at my desk and write out 100 times, I MUST PAY MORE ATTENTION IN FUTURE.

[@MrBnsftrain]

Didn't know where the locations (except King's Cross) of filming before seeing this video! Greta Job! Now I must turn to page 394!

[@SladeStevens]

I live in Exeter where Jk Rowling went to uni. Rumors have it that our Gandy street gave her the idea of diagon alley and that the vaults club there inspired gringotts bank

[@mikebe2090]

Always nice to see Vicky. HP part 2 please 👍

[@goonerhill]

I liked the brief scene of Heathgate for Hermione's home in Deathly Hallows (part I). Also i've seen people play quidditch on Hampstead Heath a few times.

[@themonohub5455]

Wasn't Leadenhall Market in the first of the films. The bit when he goes shopping for all his magic stuff.

[@Trek001]

Vicki hasn't seemed to age since the Newhaven Marine ghost train video she did

[@Trek001]

I can well imagine...

[@johnusher1921]

Picture in the attic? ;-)

[@liyuelin997]

+Londonist I found out the train for Crossrail. The trains will be 9 coaches long.

[@skyblazeeterno]

writing this in 2022 - i assume this was shot before the Harry Potter statue/sculpture was made in Leicester Square...and isnt there a Harry Potter shop just off of Charing Cross Road?

[@johnnypsycho9628]

Hiya Vicki . Greengock Bank ( spelt wrong ) was the Australian High commission at the Aldwych They Built the toilets opposite horse guards The Sweet shop is off St Martins Lane , where they also used a small alley for the Market scenes too I worked for The Big Bus Tours London for 20 years and they had a Harry Potter Walk every day 1 o'clock Traf sq . Bump into a guide and I'm sure they'll point you in the right direction

[@mstone1567]

"Massive Harry Potter fan" Whelp it's been done, "Massive" has become an understatement.

[@LondonAndSouthEastTransport]

1:05 Thats right! He saw either a 4CIG or a 4VEP.

[@MsJoxer]

Brilliant stuff Vicki, really interesting x

[@vroteg]

Viki. You are brilliant! ☝️😍

[@janssenmccormick7824]

What's the music on this? Sounds very relaxing even if it is just a short loop

[@MichaelYatKitChung]

Vicki is back! :D

[@Dangoldmedia]

Fantastic work!

[@avsom9484]

3:56 mr Weasly & RON entered the misistry of magic totaly not MR WEASLY and HARRY JAMES POTTER

[@marieschwarz1034]

I love that Vicky has the wand of Luna Lovegood. She is my favourite character!

[@crayolacrumboya7650]

Where was dudleys house?

[@denisrybak-posselmann4734]

U should have inserted the matching movie part from where u been to ure video. then it would have been a perfect video.

[@Rahul-jv7qg]

Do Sherlock locations

[@Londonistvids]

Click on that option in the poll within the video, Rahul!

[@peterdunk1285]

What about Diagon Alley (Leadenhall Market)?

[@HaymanHarrison]

Is the legend true where Londonist Ltd will reply if you're early enough?

[@Londonistvids]

we hear this might be true, yes ...

[@Miku-uw2sl]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jonathanleonard1152]

Well researched and spoken.

[@user-fb8cl6kx7l]

didnt they also film in picadilly circus?

[@VRDenshaOtaku]

FACT: the 19 years later part cannot happen Orton Hall (howgarts Castle ) is needing a overhaul (in the movie they GNER as well they finished in 2007)

[@helenlunn3829]

Actually, one of the trains there was the Virgin Pretendolino set!

[@VRDenshaOtaku]

but in 2017 GNER didn't exist

[@faizram177]

If they were to follow the actual time setting of the story it would originally include the old Intercity trains.

[@jacklong1844]

You forgot Australia house where gringots was filmed

[@andyjones8440]

Dr Who lots of original series locations around Londinium

[@ethanlim3696]

The leaky cauldron one is wrong i think. It is located in ledenhall market or something

[@emjackson2289]

Harry Potter and the Meeting With OFSTED . . . . . - now that's the location we all want to see.

[@ElectricLabel]

No Goodwin's Court? Wasn't that the original Diagon Alley?

[@colinhallmitchell]

how can Vicki be 34 ! Amazing

[@mtty1988]

There's is a plaque on platform 9 saying 9 3/4 with a floor sign please stand back. The toilets must me magic as you'd see all the staff using them 2 much

[@meisner6895]

Great, hoping will see more to come!

[@Bopsterjazz]

Man, I could have used this video 2 years ago when I was there!

[@nitramretep]

A lot of fun! Thanks.

[@callumhayes9628]

Ready to start my 53rd read now 😊

[@markretreats]

What about Harry and Dumbledore Surbiton station? At the start of the half blood prince

[@VickiPipe]

Ahhh there were just so many good ones that we couldn't get them in to the one film. Maybe even enough for a part two ....

[@spinba11]

Good video as always but at 4:00 it was Harry not Ron

[@VickiPipe]

Spot on, and well picked up on. I said Harry the first time and then accidentally said Ron. Maybe I can confund future watchers so they don't notice? Thanks for watching!

[@Arrokoth]

What's the location of the cafeteria from Deathly Hallows?

[@abencutler]

Vicki is a Fun Lady with a lot of Info.

[@simonegiungato2197]

Bravissima Vicki, sei un fenomeno !

[@daniellittle7846]

genius edditing at the end with the aperation

[@greatbritain_2315]

its was on hammersmith I think

[@gerokeeffe506]

0:00 Vicki comes from no where

[@michaelreid322]

A "Neverwhere" tour seems obvious. Geoff already hit one spot when he toured Down Street Station.

[@class387productions3]

You forgot Surbiton station

[@AwesomeX04ThePro]

can you do a video about lewisham

[@TheHaydock91]

3:59 You mean Mr Weasley and Harry.

[@worldwidelibra]

what about the deadly hollows scene that destroyed the millenium bridge

[@TheArkamedBat]

One very known is Kings X

[@stevedoubleu99B]

Very interesting and informative.

[@abhishekkotian2936]

Thank you so much for this video!!!

[@Digscomics]

Wot no Surbiton?

[@spinba11]

I'm surprised Westminster tube station didn't make the cut

[@enzmondo]

Borough Market is also where Sherlock, John, Mary, and the dog try to find clues.

[@loficatme]

Do Paddington locations

[@rachelquarrell71]

Thank you,most enjoyable

[@mtbjr.408]

2:38 youre saying it wrong and BESIDES ure going to take somebody's eye out. #HERMIONE

[@perryheun3047]

mtb jr. It would be more accurate to say "Oh, move over." Or "Well, it was worth a try."

[@bowlerstuff9589]

i assume Geoff filmed

[@elitetwistyy9735]

Mr. Weasley and Ron? 5:54 ?! I thought it was Harry and Ron...

[@tara6328]

LionGaming It was Mr Weasley and Harry

[@quentincalentier7795]

Very well explained

[@witkotamm7480]

3:54 Mister weasly and ron? Shuldnt it be mr weasly and harry?
