'You're a Wizard Harry'- London weekend; Harry Potter Studio's and Camden Market

Back at the beginning of August I went on a little weekend trip with my Mum, Meg and her Mum. We went to the Harry Potter Studio tour, then on the Saturday we went into London and went to Camden Market for a bit of shopping, and managed to squeeze in a cheeky show as well. I fancied doing a post about the weekend as it was so lovely. 

If you didn't know I loveeee Harry Potter, so finally getting to go to the studio tour was a massive deal for me, the word excited doesn't even come close. 

The gang- Look how excited we all were
Nicola, Meg and I 
Obviously I had brought a Hogwarts top prior to going, because what better place to wear your Hogwarts t-shirt from Primark than the Harry Potter Studio?? I also wore my Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets book necklace, and with the top I wore my black body con skirt from Topshop, with my black sandals from New Look. 

Loving life on the Knight Bus 

The studios were AMAZINGGG, I took soo many pictures, but I don't want to include too many because I don't want to spoil it if you haven't already been. But here's a few;

Obviously while I was there I picked up a few souvenirs...

Programme- £9.95
Post cards- 95p each
Chocolate Frog- £7.95
I got a Chocolate Frog, because how could I not? I also got 4 postcards to put on my wardrobes, and a programme of the studios, as it has all the nice glossy pictures, as well as information about the sets and stuff.

Photo and memory stick- £37

While you're there you can also 'fly' on a broomstick, by fly I mean how they do it in the films with a green screen, so I obviously had to do it. We chose a deal where we got one picture and also a memory stick with a short video of you flying through London on the broom.

The next day we ventured into London and went to Camden to have a look at the shops and also the market there near the docks.
On our way to the market we found some fantastic street performers who had set up a tea party and were dressed as the Mad-hatter and the White Rabbit.


I brought some lovely bits from the shops and stalls there, so maybe I'll do a look book to show you? 
But while in the lock market we decided to have a break from shopping and have some tea in the cutest little tea shop/ cafe, (we also went here when we came to Camden for my 16th). It's just the loveliest little place, so quaint and sweet.  

I also opted for a brownie, cheeky cheeky.
Excuse my Rudolph looking nose, my allergies decided to
kick up a fuss that day.

 Then this was what I wore;
Skirt- Topshop
Strappy crop top and sandals- both from New Look
After a full afternoon of shopping we then headed over to Leicester Square in search for some theatre tickets, as we fancied seeing a show to finish the day off, and I also had a cheeky look in the Covent Garden Jack Wills.
We managed to  get tickets to see the musical Once, which is on at the Phoenix Theatre.
I didn't know what to expect as I knew nothing about the show, but it was funny, the music was very good, and everyone in it was very talented. The people in the show were also actor-musicians, which meant that they played the instruments on stage and sang, as opposed to having an orchestra, which was great to watch.


So that was my weekend in London! I had such a lovely time, have you been the the Harry Potter Studios? If so what did you think and what was your favourite part?

Cheerio!
