UK Itinerary 2018: Day 10 - Warner Bros Studio Tour London
As early as 9AM, we were already out. We decided to drop by the National Gallery ( free entrance) before our tour since the meetup point was just nearby.
Inside the national gallery were paintings from some the history's best painters like Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Michaelango, Van Gogh, Monet, and Rembrandt.
This should be one of Rembrandt's works..
I think this was one of his disciples..
This should be from Monet..
And of course Van Gogh's
and Leonardo's
We left National Gallery by 11.30AM. We wished we could have eaten something before our tour, but there was no time because our timing was 12NN (which we kind of regret and there was not much food around the meeting place). At the Original Tour store, we met with a representative from the tour. He verified the tickets and coordinated where our tour bus would be. The bus was running late and we only left the area around 12:40PM (because the driver somehow was stuck in traffic).
We reached Warner Bros Studio Tour Parking lot at 1400.
There, we were met by people from Evan tours who gave us the entry ticket to Harry Potter. Our schedule was from 1430 - 1500. There's a security check upon entering the premises.
We ate first at the cafe before entering the tour.
We managed to enter before that timing at 1450. The first thing you'll see is the Triwizard Cup..

Then back to the second part of the exhibition

The final pièce de résistance is the Hogwarts Castle scale model. It was breathtaking.
