Platform 9 and 3/4

Located at King's Cross Station, the fictional yet captivatingly magical world of Harry Potter, Platform 9 and ¾ signifies the mystical platform between the ordinary world platforms 9 and 10, through which students would jump to the Hogwarts Express.

Harry Potter fans, rejoice! If your childhood (and even your adulthood) has been heavily influenced and embraced by the grandiose of the Harry Potter series, the mention of Platform 9 and ¾ will automatically bring upon a smile to your face. Located between platforms 9 and 10, no muggle (ordinary, non-magic person) could cross over to Platform 9 and ¾, in the Harry Potter world, of course. A platform through which young wizards and witches could jump over to hop aboard the Hogwarts Express to reach the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Fans from around the world come to this place especially to get their picture clicked next to the famous trolley, which looks like it is going to enter Platform 9 and ¾ from between platforms 9 and 10 by running straight into the concrete wall. The place offers an option for you to take a professional photograph as well, which comes at a price, or have your friends or family click you while you pose or jump holding the trolley. One can also choose the props available, like the scarves and wands, which are available to be used for free in all the 4 colours of the houses- Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw- when one is getting the picture clicked. It is undoubtedly the most famous platform in the world, and ironically, doesn’t even exist!

If you are a Harry Potter fan and you are in London, there is no way you’d miss this opportunity to get yourself clicked at the 9 and ¾ Platform! Do visit the gift shop next door to get yourself and the other Harry Potter fanatics in your life a souvenir from this place.
