Finding the Studio Tour

The Studio Tour is at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, near Watford in Hertfordshire, about 15 minutes by shuttle bus from Watford Junction station.

• By train and shuttle bus: direct trains from London Euston reach Watford Junction in about 20 minutes; the Studio Tour’s electric shuttle bus, included in your ticket, takes about 15 minutes and runs at least every 30 minutes.
• By car: parking is free; have your booking confirmation ready at the car park entrance, and use the postcode WD25 7LR.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Toilets with baby changing, and accessible toilets along the tour.
• A free cloakroom for coats, bags and, where possible, buggies.
• Seating along the route, and folding stools to borrow.
• The Food Hall and the Backlot Café, halfway round, for meals and Butterbeer.

Pack light: you and your bags are checked on arrival, and suitcases and large bags go through baggage scanners. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

Most of the Studio Tour suits wheelchairs, though Diagon Alley’s cobbles, the Great Hall’s slate floor, the Forbidden Forest’s soft surface and Privet Drive’s narrow doorway can be difficult, and the Hogwarts Express and the Hogwarts bridge are reached by short staircases. Free manual wheelchairs can be borrowed at the Information Desk, and mobility scooters wider than 86 cm cannot enter.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask Studio Tour staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the tour thoughtfully

• Keep to the tour route and keep children with you: under-16s must be with someone aged 16 or over.
• Leave the sets, costumes and props untouched, and follow staff guidance around the soundstages.
• Pets are not allowed, apart from assistance dogs, and smoking or vaping is only allowed in designated outdoor areas.
• Photos and video for your own use are welcome, except at the security search, in the pre-show cinema and in the green screen areas; tripods and drones are not allowed.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care keeps the tour enjoyable for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The Food Hall, the Dragon Roasted Café and the Frog Café serve visitors before or after the tour, and the Backlot Café, halfway round, serves burgers, hot dogs and Butterbeer.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Food and drink are bought separately, and the cloakroom cannot store food.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: arrive 20 minutes before your entry time; you can go in at any time during your 30-minute slot.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes and a charged phone make a long visit easier.
• Leave space to linger: the average visit lasts about three and a half hours, with no time limit.
