1. Kings Cross
Kings Cross

Unfortunately, platforms 9 and 10 are in a separate building from the main station; also, rather than being adjacent so that a barrier could be between them, they are separated by two intervening tracks. Rowling intended the location to be in the main part of the station, but misremembered the platform numbering. When the films were made, the station scenes took place within the main station, with platforms 4 and 5 renumbered 9 and 10.
2. Madame Tussaud

4. National Gallery + Trafalgar square
National Gallery + Trafalgar square

With its position in the heart of London, Trafalgar Square is a tourist attraction; at its centre is Nelson's Column which stands guarded by four lion statues at its base. The square used to be famous for its pigeons (Feral Pigeons), and feeding them was a popular activity with Londoners and tourists. On 10 September 2007 the byelaws were secured sealing an outright ban on feeding birds in area of the square.[16] There are now few birds in Trafalgar Square and it is used for festivals and hired out to film companies, in a way that was not feasible in the 1990s.

8. Westminster Abbey + Big Ben
Westminster Abbey + Big Ben

Westminster Abbey is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English, later British and later still (and currently) monarchs of the Commonwealth Realms.
The nickname Big Ben is the subject of some debate. The nickname was applied first to the Great Bell; it may have been named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw the installation of the Great Bell, or after boxing's English Heavyweight Champion Benjamin Caunt. Now Big Ben is used to refer to the clock, the tower and the bell collectively.

Stonehenge was a place of burial from its beginning to its zenith in the mid third millennium B.C.
