If you choose to visit the Harry Potter Studios on your own, you’ll need to take public transportation, which means combining at least one subway, one train, and one bus both on the way there and back from the attraction.

Let’s take a look at the route you’ll need to take to get to the Harry Potter Studios Park by public transportation!

1. The Underground to London Euston

The first thing you’ll need to do is take the subway to London Euston Station (Euston Road, London NW1 2BF, England). The London subway lines that will take you there are the Northern and Victoria lines, with the latter being the fastest on the London subway network, so you won’t have to wait long.

2. The train to Watford Junction

Once at London Euston Station, you’ll need to take a train to Watford Junction Station (Station Road, Watford, WD17 1EU, Hertfordshire), the closest station to the Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden (Hertfordshire).

Ask the station staff and make sure to board one of the direct trains to Watford Junction, as they’re very fast and the journey only takes about 20 minutes. Trains run frequently, departing approximately every 10 minutes, but don’t take any chances—try to arrive at Watford Junction about 45 minutes before the reservation time listed on your ticket.

There are also other trains departing from London Euston that aren’t direct, but they usually take about an hour to get there. Since the direct trains are available to travelers, it’s not worth taking one of these.

To travel between the London Euston and Watford Junction train stations, you can use the Oyster Card, as it’s valid for the journey.

3. By bus (shuttle) to the Harry Potter Studios

Finally, when you arrive at Watford Junction, you’ll need to take a bus operated by Mullany’s Coaches, which will take you to the entrance of the Harry Potter Studios in about 15 minutes.

It will be very easy to spot the bus you need to board because it is decorated with Harry Potter-themed designs. To use this bus, remember to show your ticket to the Warner Bros. Studios.

These buses depart for the Harry Potter Studios Park every 30 minutes, but the schedule varies depending on the day of the week and the attraction’s opening hours.

• Monday through Friday: starting at 9:20 AM, when the first tour of the attraction begins at 10 AM.
• Weekends: starting at 8:15 AM, with the first tour of the attraction beginning at 9 AM.

Shuttle bus tickets cost about £3 per person (round-trip) and can be purchased directly on the bus using contactless payment or cash; however, Oyster Cards cannot be used.

This may be the least popular mode of transportation for visitors heading to the Harry Potter Studios, but if you decide to drive, enter the attraction’s postal code WD25 7LR into your GPS. Alternatively, you can follow these directions to get there.

• If you’re traveling from London, take Exit 5 off the M1 and then the A41 (North Watford) for about five kilometers.
• Then take the 4th exit at the Hunton Bridge roundabout to return to the A41.
• Continue driving in the left lane and take the 1st exit.
• Keep left at the fork and then take the first exit at the roundabout to enter the Harry Potter Studios Park.
• As you approach the Harry Potter Studios Park, you’ll see brown signs that say “Warner Bros. Studio Tour” and will guide you to the entrance gate.

Is parking free at the Harry Potter Studios Park parking lot?

Yes, you can park your car for free in the attraction’s parking lot, located a short distance from the Studio Tour entrance.

When you arrive at the parking lot, remember to have your tickets or booking confirmation ready to show to the parking staff.

If after visiting the Harry Potter Studios Park you’re still craving more magic, don’t worry—in London, you can follow in the young wizard’s footsteps.

One of the coolest things to do on the city streets is a tour of the locations where the movies were filmed. I’ll give you a heads-up: you can go on your own or join a guided tour, though in the post “Harry Potter Locations in London” I’ll tell you more about this activity in detail. Don’t miss it!

And if you’ve always wanted a nice souvenir from your favorite saga, I recommend going shopping in London because there are plenty of Harry Potter stores scattered throughout the city where you can find the perfect gift you’ve been dreaming of for so long.
