Overview
All Harry Potter fans will know about Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross Station! Due to popular demand, even Muggles can now visit this, and a themed shop too.
Transport & Parking
This is within a major London train station, so couldn't really be closer to public transport. Underground, buses and taxis are all also nearby - though you would have to find what was best for your individual needs. As in central London, driving and parking could be difficult.
Access
For the shop - flat access from station straight into shop. Doors of shop wide open while shop open. In places, due to the amount of things in the shop/it being busy, it could be a bit tight getting round especially if in a bigger wheelchair, but no major problems. Platform 9 3/4 - you can get your photo taken pushing a luggage trolley through the wall. The good thing is, you are allowed to take your own photos of family/friends doing this, although you can also buy a copy of the one professionally taken. This is a popular thing to do, and usually is a queue.
Toilets
There aren't toilets at the shop itself, but it's within Kings Cross Station which does have them. I didn't use them so am unable to give more info.
Staff
Enthusiastic staff! They seemed to be enjoying being there, and the ones taking the photos were interacting with the crowd.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
Be a proud Potter fan and pose for your photo!!
