Since I am with the kids and our friends were pretty amenable to going anywhere while in England, I booked us all to go see the Warner Bros. studios of Harry Potter in Leavesden. We decided to take the tube (best to buy an Oyster Card)– from Central Line Oxford Circus, change trains at Tottenham Road for the Northern Line (black) which will take you to Euston Station. From Euston Station, look for the direct train to Watford Junction (make sure you take the direct train– it’ll only take about 20 minutes). And from Watford Junction, a double decker Harry Potter bus will take you to the studios (about 15 minutes from the Watford Junction station– it costs £2 per person).
