King's Cross Station highlights
Platform 9¾
Platform 9¾ at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is a recreation of King's Cross Station. While it's not a real train platform, it is a popular photo opportunity. The recreation includes a baggage trolley disappearing through a brick wall. Originally positioned along the corridor between platforms 9 and 11, the installation was relocated outside the Harry Potter store at King's Cross.

Harry Potter Shop
Another major draw for fans is the store itself. The Harry Potter Shop at Platform 9¾ is an alternative to Diagon Alley for fellow muggles! If anything appears in the series, you will most likely find it here as well. The options are almost limitless, ranging from robes, wands, and Hogwarts school trunks (which you may also customize) to candies, bottled butterbeers, books, and keepsakes.
