Harry Potter Tour of London


A brilliant birthday present from Hannah and Shep! Katie joined me from Leicester and we met the tour at Leicester Square. Minor panic when the ticket office was closed but the guide turned up anyway! We saw all the Harry Potter film locations from around the city: Diagon Alley, Ministry of Magic etc. Not only did we travel by Tube but there was also a boat and a bus involved. After seeing the fake Platform 9 and 1/3 and the fat one from Blue, we smacked upon a McDonalds and headed to the Tate Modern to see the Pop Life exhibition. Between the porn and the explicit videos, we saw some pieces from Warhol, Hirst, Emin and also some stuff that will help in my dissertation! A quick stop in the Oxford Street Topshop (again), a Pizza Express and now I'm back on the train home before being driven back up to Leicester by the Marge. Such a busy but lovely weekend!
