Christmas brings a touch of magic, especially for fans of the Harry Potter films. This December, you can immerse yourself in the wizarding world by staying at some of the iconic locations used as filming sites for Hogwarts and beyond.
Sleep where Hogwarts came to life
Oxford University’s historic colleges, often featured in the Harry Potter films, offer a magical setting for your festive getaway. Christ Church College, with its Tudor Great Dining Hall, inspired the Hogwarts Great Hall where Harry and friends celebrated Christmas. Its famous staircase also appeared in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, where Professor McGonagall greeted the first-years.
You can stay at Christ Church this December, enjoying breakfast in its Great Hall, from just £120 per night. Rooms within this 16th-century college provide an enchanting base for your Hogwarts-inspired adventure.
New College, another “real-life Hogwarts,” features prominently in The Goblet of Fire. Its cloisters and gardens, including the famous oak tree scene where Draco Malfoy faces Mad-Eye Moody’s wrath, are a must-see. Accommodation at New College starts at £70 per night, with complimentary access to the stunning grounds included.

Discover Harry Potter’s London
London also offers its share of magical filming locations. Leadenhall Market, used as Diagon Alley in The Philosopher’s Stone, glows with festive charm during Christmas. The entrance to the Leaky Cauldron, now an optician in Bull’s Head Passage, remains a fun photo spot for fans.
You can find affordable accommodation near these locations. Options include:
- Elm Grove at the University of Roehampton
- Goodenough College in Bloomsbury
- Victoria League Student House in Bayswater, with prices starting at £33 per night
The Victoria League Student House, ideal for younger travellers, is set in a beautiful 19th-century building with gardens, offering a safe and affordable stay.
Don’t delay your magical trip
Christmas availability at these iconic locations fills up quickly. Whether you want to explore Oxford’s historic colleges or London’s enchanting markets, book early to secure your spot.
