A London company running film and TV location tours, from Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes walks to coach trips to Downton Abbey country.
Good to know
Brit Movie Tours specialises in tours of film and television locations, mixing walking tours in central London with coach trips into the countryside. In the city, the Harry Potter Locations Walking Tour visits spots associated with the films over about two and a half hours, and there are also Sherlock Holmes and gangster-themed walks.
For a full day out, the Downton Abbey and Village Small Group Tour travels by coach from central London to locations used in the series. The company also runs tours linked to other British shows. Book online in advance, as departures are scheduled and small-group trips have limited space. Wear comfortable shoes for the walking tours and check the meeting point on your confirmation, as it varies by tour.
