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. Take a stroll to explore these places and capture some photos. -

King’s Cross Station - Located in London’s King’s Cross Station, the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 holds the secret entrance to the magical platform that can only be accessed by running straight ahead – directly into the barrier. This takes wizards and witches out of the ‘muggle’ world and into the magical world where they can pick up the Hogwarts Express, the red steam-engine train that will speed them up to Scotland to Hogwarts. For all witches and wizards, their first entrance into the world of Hogwarts comes as soon as they step through the barrier onto Platform 9 and 3/4. It’s also worth noting that it was near this platform where Harry Potter first met Ron and the entire Weasley gang! The inspiration for Platform 9 and 3/4 HOW TO GET TO PLATFORM 9 3/4 full details will be provided in the itinerary which will be handed to you by your driver, before the start of the tour
