Cecil Court

HOW TO FIND DIAGON ALLEY
There are two contenders here for the REAL Diagon Alley and many Potter fans are split as to which is the ‘real’ Diagon Alley.
Fortunately, both are very centrally located near Leicester Square.
First is Cecil Court and the second is Goodwin court
In the wizarding world, The Leaky Cauldron (which holds the entrance to Diagon Alley) sits just off Charing Cross Road.
In our world, Charing Cross Road is known for its multitude of bookshops – many of which specialise in magic and the occult.
It’s clear to see why J. K. Rowling decided that the entrance to Diagon Alley would be here!
There are also two locations used for the door to Diagon Alley, one in Leadenhall Market and the other in Borough Market.
Given the items that line the storefronts, the tarot card readers that work here and the magical lamps running down the centre of the alleyway, this is definitely a contender to be the real deal.
Take a walk to discover all the above places and take pictures.

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
