Harry Potter

The platform, the alley, the bank and the bridge: where the books are set and the films were shot, the studio where the sets still stand, and the day trips to Hogwarts' lake and the Quidditch woods.

Claremont Square

Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place: the terrace on Claremont Square is the Black family house.

The Order's headquarters, which appears between Nos 11 and 13 when you know the secret, was filmed on the north side of Claremont Square in Islington, a terrace of the 1820s above the covered reservoir that is the square's green middle. Nothing was built: the effects team squeezed a house in between two real ones, and the terrace looks the same in Order of the Phoenix and Deathly Hallows. It is a residential square and the reservoir's grass slope is fenced.
