    The Best Places in the UK for Harry Potter Fans

    April 11, 2019 / 8 Comments

    For members of the Harry Potter fandom who visit from abroad, the UK is filled with various Harry Potter filming locations and things for fans to see. The first time I visited the UK, 13 and in the middle of reading Harry Potter for the first time, it felt magical, about as close as it could to stepping inside the pages of these books or feeling right on the set of one of the films. While there are many that aren’t on this list, here are my top picks to visit. London King’s Cross/St Pancras Station An always popular stop off for Harry Potter fans, Platform 9 3/4 has been…

    Why Nothing Beats a Summer in London

    June 28, 2018 / 0 Comments

    Summer is officially here, which is easily my favourite time of year in London.

I may have written why London in summer is so great, but here’s the reasons why I really love it during the festive season.
