If you're a Harry Potter fan, you'll probably recognize this location. It inspired film makers of the hit franchise to create a replica of this 16th-century-built dining hall in their London studios. It's an ideal place to capture Renaissance-style architecture that not only takes your breath away in person, but also photographs beautifully, too.

This image was taken inside The Hall at Christ Church College, which is a part of Oxford University. To get here, there are many trains that are accessible from London to Oxford.
First, you'll need to get a ticket (£15) at the visitors center at The Christ Church Meadow. Once you buy your ticket, head to the campus and start walking toward Christ Church, which is adjacent to Tom Tower and Christ Church Cathedral.
You will just walk through a few rooms before you will see this room up the stairs. Reference the GPS to get to the exact location of where I stood to get this perspective.
