Oxford: Day Trip

Located in central southern England, Oxford has one foot in the ancient world and the other firmly in the modern. The city’s picturesque Gothic university buildings are a magnificent legacy of its past, while its cosy pubs and trendy coffee shops are imbued with a lively contemporary buzz. In Oxford, each historic street has a story to tell, and on a guided walking tour students can follow in the footsteps of famous authors, scientists, politicians and film stars. Bibliophiles should head to the incredible Bodleian Library, one of the oldest in Europe, and then to the gorgeous Botanical Garden or the Harcourt Arboretum for a serene reading experience. History enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the Ashmolean, the UK’s oldest public museum, filled with fascinating archaeological relics and art exhibits from all corners of the globe, as well as the Pitt Rivers Museum, home to what is arguably the best collections on anthropology and archaeology. Tolkien fans will delight in the chance to visit the house where he lived.

Warner Bros. Studio Harry Potter Experience: Day Trip

Once filming wrapped on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in 2010, the production crew were left with a treasure trove of intricate and beautifully-made artefacts. Over the ten years, an incredible 588 sets were created at Leavesden Studios. To preserve and showcase the iconic props, costumes, and sets so that Harry Potter fans could experience the magic of filmmaking first-hand, the Studio Tour opened its doors on 31st March 2012. Set adjacent to the working film studios where all eight Harry Potter films were made, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London offers visitors the unique opportunity to explore two soundstages and a backlot filled with original sets, animatronic creatures and breathtaking special effects.
