Getting to the Studio Tour
Plan both legs of your journey: travel to the hotel at HP2 4UA, then to the Studio Tour at WD25 7LR for your booked entry time. Allow time for traffic, parking and the walk to the entrance. A transfer between the hotel and Studio Tour is not included.
By car
The hotel is approximately 6 miles from Warner Bros. Studio Tour London and sits close to M1 Junction 8. Enter WD25 7LR into your sat nav and follow the brown Studio Tour signs as you approach Leavesden. Allow extra time during busy periods.
Standard parking is free directly outside the Studio Tour. Have your booking confirmation ready for the car park team. Blue Badge bays are available near the entrance; bring and display your badge. Priority Parking is a paid extra that must be pre-booked online and cannot be bought on the day. Hotel parking is separate and currently costs £7 per 24 hours; register your vehicle at hotel reception on arrival.
By taxi
Ask the hotel reception team to help arrange a taxi, or book a licensed local operator in advance. The Studio Tour has designated taxi drop-off and pick-up points. Confirm the fare and collection time, including the return trip to the hotel, as prices and journey times vary with traffic.
By rail and shuttle bus
The complimentary Studio Tour shuttle runs from Watford Junction, not from the hotel. Plan your route to Watford Junction separately and allow time for any connections. The shuttle journey takes around 15 minutes and buses run at least every 30 minutes; check the current timetable before travelling.
To use the shuttle, show a valid Studio Tour ticket or booking confirmation.
Make the most of your break
Choose a Studio Tour entry time that leaves enough time to travel from the hotel. After your visit, head back to Holiday Inn for a meal or a swim, subject to the hotel’s opening and pool booking arrangements. If you want a slower morning or more time in the area, check whether a second hotel night is available for your dates.
