A Potterhead’s Quickie Guide to London

By Jordan Ellis February 13, 2018

London has been a destination city for people from around the world for literally centuries, and it’s certainly no different today. The city is steeped in history, is a melting pot of culture, and is home to some of the most notable works of art and familiar architectural landmarks in the world.
