    (Translated by Google) PLATFORM 9 3/4 Located in London's King’s Cross Station, For all fans of the HARRY POTTER saga, Platform 9 3/4 is possibly the most famous platform in the world (although it doesn't really even exist). If you come to London England and want to take a souvenir from HARRY POTTER's shop, and take your photo based on the famous Harry Potter saga created by JK Rowling, platform 9 3⁄4 is a fictional train platform found in King's Cross station in London, and which was used by Harry Potter and by the young students who had to board the train to go to Hogwarts, Here is the exact place to feel part of them and take an incredible souvenir photo 👌🏻 (Original) LA PLATAFORMA 9 3/4 Ubicado en la estación King’s Cross de Londres, Para todos los fanaticos de la saga de HARRY POTTER , el andén 9 3⁄4 es posiblemente el más famoso del mundo (aunque realmente, ni siquiera existe). Si vienes a Londres Inglaterra y quieres llevarte en recuerdo de la tienda de HARRY POTTER, y tomarte la foto basado en la famosa saga de Harry Potter creada por J.K Rowling, el andén 9 3⁄4 es una plataforma de trenes ficticia que se encuentra en la estación King’s Cross de Londres, y que era utilizada por Harry Potter y por los jóvenes estudiantes que debían abordar el tren para trasladarse a Hogwarts, Aqui es el lugar exacto para sentirte parte de ellos y llevarte una increíble foto de recuerdo 👌🏻

    Childhood Dream come true to see Harry potter store from inside. It’s really amazing and just like as we feel we are in the Hogwarts school of Wizards. Authentic Quality Goods and Good Support Staff. If you are a fan then definitely buy something as you will be excited and have goosebumps.

    (Translated by Google) After a wonderful and unforgettable day at the Studios, of course, you couldn't miss the stop at King's Cross station 🚂 for a photo 📷 in front of Platform 9 & 3/4. A long line .... but, it is absolutely worth it! The Shop a show! There is everything from sticks to t-shirts, from sweatshirts to scarves ....! All super great! For lovers of the boy wizard this stage cannot be missed❗❗❗ (Original) Dopo una splendida e indimenticabile giornata agli Studios, chiaramente, non poteva mancare la tappa alla stazione 🚂 di King's Cross per una foto 📷 davanti al Platform 9 & 3/4. Fila chilometrica....ma, ne vale assolutamente la pena! Lo Shop uno spettacolo! C'è di tutto, dalle bacchette alle t-shirt, dalle felpe alle sciarpe....! Tutto super fantastico! Per gli amanti del maghetto questa tappa non può mancare❗❗❗

    This is a church tucked in between relatively newer building so it is very long and thin. Inside, the church is very well maintained and quite decorative and very light and bright. The church has significant history and whilst not considered the oldest in London, it does date back to Saxon times. Its patron is The worshipful Company of Drapers.

    Indispensable spot for all Harry Potter's fans! It is an absolutely incredible experience to visit the Platform 9 3/4 and the Harry Potter Shop. You can find all kind of merchadising and hear the soundtrack of the films during your visit. Definitely, you can feel magic comes alive! Mischief managed!

    I was in store for first time in October and loved it. I had been the day before to Harry Potter World. (Again) 😊 Whilst in store I wanted to purchase my first wand. I was met by the lovely Bella, the Wand Practitioner 😊 She was lovely to chat to and very knowledgeable of the wands and picked mines for me. She’s a Fab Person who keeps the Magic of Harry Potter alive in the shop with her Magical Personality. I do believe Harry Potter World should employ her as I think she’d do very well there. As she has the right qualities, personality and skillls, an asset to the Company 😊 Bella has the Hogwarts Magic.😊 Hope to see you again 😊 🔮🪄🧙🏻🧙‍♂️🦉🏰🚂 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 😉😊

    Ordered online personalized gift trunk filled for my sons birthday for it to be delivered late and to discover the personalized trunk was actually empty. I have sent 4 emails over the space of a week and not one reply. My 12 year old son is extremely upset. They had no issue taking my £125 and treat customers like this..

    An exciting destination for every Harry Potter fan. located inside King's Cross Station. At the Platform 9 3/4 shop you can take a picture with an Hogwarts shawl of your choice. A professional photographer takes your picture, that you can buy in the shop. But, and this is nice, you can also take your own picture for free!

    I am happy that the item did come and was very nice. However, I am not happy that there was zero communication (despite enough emails being sent to make me feel like I was going a bit crazy). I received the item and then three days later received a response saying they can see the item was delivered. Ordered November 3rd. Arrived December 18th. If there had been more timely responses, this would be a five star rating.

    St Michael, Cornhill, is a medieval parish church in the City of London with pre-Norman Conquest parochial foundation. It lies in the ward of Cornhill. The medieval structure was lost in the Great Fire of London, and replaced by the present building, traditionally attributed to Sir Christopher Wren.The upper parts of the tower are by Nicholas Hawksmoor. The church was embellished by Sir George Gilbert Scott and Herbert Williams in the nineteenth century.

    This was a pretty cool store to visit. It was definitely Harry Potter oriented, but it isn't exactly what you would think a tourist attraction is, it's just a store.

    (Translated by Google) I placed an order in plenty of time at the end of November indicating that it would arrive in time for Christmas. I don't know anything about the order yet. I have sent 2 emails requesting information and the only response there is is an automated message. I see that on Christmas day I will not have the gift. I am very disappointed. At least one answer indicating that it happens would not hurt because of the money that I spent and that I do not know what will happen. I'm still going to look at the status of my order and the money is not changed, and they will prepare it shortly ... shortly, almost a month ago ... It seems very little serious, I did not expect this treatment. (Original) Realicé un pedido con tiempo suficiente a finales de noviembre en el que se indicaba que llegaría a tiempo para Navidad. No se nada del pedido aún. He enviado 2 emails pidiendo información y la única respuesta que hay es un mensaje automático. Me veo que el día de navidad no tendré el regalo. Estoy muy decepcionada. Al menos una respuesta indicando que ocurre no estaría de más por el dineral que me gasté y que no sé que va a pasar. Igual voy a mirar el estatus de mi pedido y no varia esta recibido el dinero y lo prepararan en breves... en breves hace ya casi un mes... Me parece muy poco serio no me esperaba este trato.

    I placed the order on the 28th of December. No updates received since the 29th (it’s January 5th today). I think they should have considered hiring more staff around this time of year. We have paid 18 GBP for express delivery fees. So disappointing as those items we were expecting for the Three Magic Kings festivities in Spain 😢

    Went a couple weeks back just popping in and the ladies there couldn't have been more lovely and knowledgeable. I know what a sword stand is for now, and the church's obsession with pelicans! A beautiful building with amazing volunteers

    It's a beautiful building, but the best bit was the warm welcome from kind, loving people, closely followed by excellent preaching by Henry Eatock-Taylor.

    A place that every potter fan will love, a store, and a special place to take pictures outside!

    A beautiful Church often missed and close to Bank of England. Well worth looking inside. Just to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet from the outside rush is a blessing. Though I have not been when events or services are being held it appears to have a great musical tradition.

    One of the City of London Churches enabled to be kept open on some days by the friends of London Churches. A beautiful church on Cornhill. Fine stain glass windows. Boxed pews and amongst it's war memorials a moving record of those taken into internment by the Japanese during WWII. A beautiful window in the porch depicts St Michael. Do visit.

    Just passing by last Monday 6th) and heard a choir practising. Found out that there was to be a candlelit carol service in about one hour (6pm). Went for a drink next door in the Jamaica Inn then joined the service. The choir was very good and we had a good singalong too. Glass of wine and mince pie afterwards at the back of the church was very welcome and gave an opportunity to talk to people. Recommended for carol services.

  • 4/5 Peter B. 5 years ago on Google
    Another of the city's underused church buildings of which there are many. It has an ornate and interesting interior. It would be much better if all the people visiting came to use the church building for its original purpose, to worship God, hear his word (the bible) being taught, and understand about the good news of Jesus rather than just to look at some interior decorating.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice shop. We were lucky the first time to have been there at an hour in the morning when there was no one except us. No queue for the photo and inside the shop a free field in the middle of articles that we want them all to end up in good hands. Unfortunately, the Harry Potter license is a bit pricey as usual. Worth going there. In addition at the time we were to meet a saleswoman who spoke French to the delight of my mother. Visited in February 2016. (Original) Très belle boutique. Nous avions eu la chance la première fois d'y être allée à une heure de la matinée où il n'y avait personne à part nous. Pas de queue pour la photo et à l'interieur de la boutique un champ libre au milieu d'articles dont on a envie qu'ils finissent tous entre bos bras. Malheureusement, la licence Harry Potter est un peu cher comme d'habitude. Cela vaut le coup d'y aller. En plus à l'époque nous étions tomber sur une vendeuse qui parlait français au plus grand plaisir de ma mère. Visité en février 2016.

    Average prices for most HP merch (aka bit overpriced retail prices) but it's very cute and displayed beautifully. Usually the place is crammed with people and was very empty on my recent visit because of covid, where they have new safety measures in place. Absolutely worth a visit (especially for the cart going into the wall for a photo op).

Plus you get discount and a free pin if you have wizarding world gold subscription - that's a bonus 😁
