Hunt for antiques at Portobello Road Market

Eat your way around Borough Market
What is it? Dating back to the thirteenth century, London’s oldest food market is a cornucopia of gourmet goodies.

Visit Hogwarts at the Harry Potter Studio Tour
What is it? There are a whole lot of Harry Potter locations in and around London, but the Warner Bros Studio Tour in Watford is the most magical.
Why go? The capital is heaving with Harry Potter hotspots. Locations like Diagon Alley were set here and scenes from the world-famous movie franchise were filmed here. There’re walking tours and photo opportunities at the actual Platform 93/4 in King’s Cross.
