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.

Leadenhall Market

Diagon Alley in Philosopher's Stone: the Leaky Cauldron's door was an optician's in Bull's Head Passage.

Also in Food Markets.

Horace Jones's Victorian covered market, cream and maroon under a glass roof, is where Hagrid leads Harry to buy his wand in the first film, and the blue door of an optician's shop in Bull's Head Passage, on the market's east side, was the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron. The arcades were dressed as the street beyond. The market has been here since the fourteenth century, on the site of the Roman forum, and its cheesemongers and pubs are what it is the rest of the time.
