Cecil Court - HOW TO FIND DIAGON ALLEY
There are two main contenders for the REAL Diagon Alley, and Potter fans are divided on which one it is. Luckily, both are centrally located near Leicester Square. The first is Cecil Court, and the second is Goodwin Court. In the wizarding world, The Leaky Cauldron, which holds the entrance to Diagon Alley, is just off Charing Cross Road. In our world, Charing Cross Road is famous for its numerous bookshops, many specializing in magic and the occult. It’s easy to see why J.K. Rowling chose this location for the entrance to Diagon Alley! There are also two locations used for the door to Diagon Alley: one in Leadenhall Market and the other in Borough Market. With the magical items lining the storefronts, tarot card readers, and enchanting lamps, this is definitely a strong contender for the real Diagon Alley.
