Harry Potter Studio Tour

#1 Post by superhero » Sat Mar 24, 2012 11:55 pm

Has anyone been to the studio yet? I just realised the shuttle bus from Watford Junction doesn't start until 31st March!! :wall:

Does anyone know if it's expensive getting a taxi from Watford Junction to the studio?

When are you going? It's quite a distance from Watford Junction, not really walking distance, it wouldn't be cheap around £10 for a taxi, maybe a bit less depending on the traffic.

You will easily be able to get a taxi from the station, but if you want a fixed price or a quote these are some local taxi firms which are reliable.

Tomorrow (well today). The shuttle bus is around £2 but they are not starting until 31st March :wall:
I suppose I will have to take a taxi, it's not making the day cheap though, £18 return on the trip from London £20 return on taxi from the station.
Is it easy to get taxis from Watford Junction station or do I need to prebook a taxi?

There is a taxi rank at the front of the station, I very much doubt you would have a problem getting a taxi.

I was invited for today and I moved it to tomorrow, if I asked them to move it again until the shuttle buses run I think they will murder me.

Let us know how it is! I'm going in May and I can't wait.

I'm glad they have the Butterbeer! I had that in Florida and it was delicious.
