My cousin and I (both retired librarians) will be in London this winter and plan to visit the Warner Brothers Studio Harry Potter attraction. I understand it is primarily a walk-through exhibit and would like to know if there are places to sit and have a rest through out? We're planning to take our time but will need to nurse a few aches and pains we've acquired over the decades. Also, what are the lunch options like? Thanks so much.

There are seats and benches scattered about -- not in every room/area but in lost of places. Much as in many museums where some rooms have benches and some don't. But also -- they have small portable/folding stools one can borrow.

Thank you, especially for the information on the folding stools, this is really helpful.

Make sure that you book your tickets well in advance. It gets booked up several months ahead of time, even in Winter.

Absolutely, we're in the process of booking this week for winter which is why I posted here.

How long did you find the visit took? Not including time spent eating or shopping, just the walk-through exhibits. Thank you.

I'd book a morning slot and take as much or as little time as you want -- everyone has a different 'interest' and 'tolerance' level. Some will rush through -- which would probably take 2 or 2.5 hours, the FAQ page says the average visit is about 3.5 hours. If one is really into HP plus the tech side of movie making, I can see it taking 5 hours (including breaks)

I spent almost 4 hours with a tea break and late-ish lunch.

It took me about 3 hours but could have easily spent 4 or more hours. But I was reigned in because of a prior tour to the Doctor Who Experience (may it live on!) which I was at for nearly 4.5 hours solo and my travel companions nearly went to the police to get me.

So if you are a big fan, plan accordingly!

Thank you, perhaps the average from the FAQ is about right for us. We are both a bit hobbled at this stage in life and will need a few sit-down breaks.
