Harry Potter Magic at Leadenhall Market
Leadenhall Market isn’t just a stunning Victorian arcade — it’s also a real-life filming location from Harry Potter. Parts of the market were transformed into Diagon Alley in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

Why It’s Great for Kids:
Recognizable Harry Potter filming location
Gorgeous architecture and Harry Potter photo ops
Family-friendly cafes and shops inside
Location : Gracechurch Street, EC3V 1LT
