The zones in London are linked to the zones covered by the London Underground train system. Zone 1 covers the West End, the Holborn district, Kensington, Paddington and the City of London, as well as Old Street, Angel, Pimlico, Tower Gateway, Aldgate East, Euston, Vauxhall, Elephant & Castle, Borough, London Bridge, Earl's Court, Marylebone, Edgware Road, Lambeth North and Waterloo. If you are unsure please contact our office who will be more than happy to help you.

• What do I do if my hotel is not in Zone 1?

If your hotel is not in Zone 1 we have a public meeting point where you can join the tour. This is located at International Student House, 229 Great Portland St, London W1W 5PN. This is directly opposite Great Portland street tube station.

• How will I identify the International Friends vehicle at the meeting point?

Depending on the number of people travelling on a particular day we use 8 or 19 seater executive vehicles. On arrival at your pick up location the driver will announce themselves, will be holding a sign reading “International Friends” and will be aware of your names ready to welcome you on board.

• How long will the journey to and from the Warner Bros Studio take?

We have a maximum of 12 passengers per vehicle and 4 pick ups. Exact timings will depend upon where the days pickups are located and traffic conditions. On average the journey will be around 60 - 90 minutes.

• How much time is spent at the Warner Bros Studio?

All of our day trips have been carefully planned to ensure maximum enjoyment. Our Harry Potter tour with Hotel Pick up is a direct transfer from London to the Warner Bros Studio. You will get to spend around 4 hours immersing yourself in the wonder that is The Making of Harry Potter.

All customers must stick to the timings provided, which will be confirmed by your driver on the day. If you think you may be late or lost, you can phone the emergency number on your e-ticket for help, but we cannot amend the timings for all passengers because of latecomers. If you miss your departure our staff will do their best in assisting you to catch up with the tour or in returning to London. This will be at your own expense.

• What if I decide I want to spend longer at the Studio?

4 hours should be plenty of time to see and experience all that you want to at the Studio, but if on the day you feel you would like more time there, please call the emergency number on your E-ticket and let our staff know so that we do not delay other passengers waiting for you at the departure time. We will be more than happy to advise you how to return to London. This will be at your own expense.

• Is entry into the Studio included in my ticket price?

Yes, entry into The Warner Bros. Studio is included in your ticket price.

• Can I make my own way to or from the Studio?

Absolutely if this is your preference. You do not have to make use of our transfer service if you just wish to use the entry ticket. Please just make contact with our office and we will confirm with you what time you need to meet our group at the Studio. You will have to wait for our group to enter the Studio as our driver will have the studio entry tickets. Please do not attempt to enter the Studio independently as the Warner Bros staff will not be able to admit you without our group ticket. The full advertised price is still payable if you choose not to use the transfer service.

• Are there rides at the Warner Bros Studio?

This is actually quite a common question, so if you’re wondering this you’re not alone! The Warner Bros Studio is the film set where the iconic Harry Potter films were made, it is not a theme park, and as such does not feature rides. You will however have the ultimate opportunity to step on to authentic sets, discover the magic behind spellbinding special effects and explore the behind-the-scenes secrets of the iconic Harry Potter film series.

• Do we need to tip staff?
