The Studio Tour’s own wording is four words long: “Tickets must be booked in advance.” There is no ticket desk to try on the day, and the contact centre states plainly that it cannot hold tickets back for sold-out dates.
Which matters more here than at most attractions, because it is not in London. It is in Leavesden, about 20 miles north-west. Turning up without a ticket means a 40-minute journey to be turned away.
Prices
A UK VAT cut runs to 1 September 2026, and the Studio Tour passed it on — it even refunded people who had already booked summer dates.
| Ticket | Until 1 Sep | From 2 Sep |
|---|---|---|
| Adult 16+ | £51.19 | £58.50 |
| Child 5–15 | £41.13 | £47.00 |
| Family | £164.52 | £188.00 |
Under-4s and carers go free. Deluxe Tours start at £250. Tickets are on sale roughly 16 months ahead, currently through 31 December 2026, and availability shows live — so the website is the truth.
Getting there, and which bus costs money
This trips people up because there are two different buses.
- The Watford Junction shuttle is free and included with your ticket. Train from London Euston to Watford Junction takes 20 minutes direct; the shuttle is about 15 more, running at least every half hour from 9.20am. You pay only the rail fare.
- The Golden Tours coach from central London is a separate paid product — ticket-and-transfer packages start around £94.
Driving is free to park, with priority parking bookable at £10.
