MinaLima is the design studio founded by Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima, the graphic designers responsible for a vast range of printed props and visual ephemera in the films.Source: MinaLima

The London venue is part gallery, part shop and part design rabbit-hole. It is a better stop for people interested in typography, illustration and filmmaking craft than for anyone chasing a large attraction.Source: MinaLima

For fans, not just tourists

Details worth noticing

01

Look beyond character imagery: the typography, newspapers, packaging and tickets explain how the wizarding world feels internally consistent.

02

This is an intimate design gallery and shop, not a large attraction. That smaller scale is part of its charm.

03

Pair it with nearby Goodwin’s Court and the Palace Theatre, while remembering that atmospheric fan associations are not automatically filming facts.

Public transport

Getting there without guesswork

01

Tottenham Court Road

Use the Elizabeth, Central or Northern line, then walk through Soho toward Wardour Street.

02

Leicester Square

Use the Piccadilly or Northern line and walk north through the West End.

03

From King’s Cross

Take the Piccadilly line to Leicester Square, then walk. This is usually simpler than changing lines.

04

By bus

Numerous routes use Oxford Street, Charing Cross Road and Shaftesbury Avenue; check TfL Go for live stops and diversions.

Space

The venue is much smaller than the Studio Tour. Busy periods can feel crowded; allow some flexibility.

Good pairing

Combine with Cecil Court, Goodwin’s Court, Piccadilly Circus and the Palace Theatre on foot.

Buying art

If purchasing prints, consider how you will protect them during the rest of your trip.

Tickets and useful links
