A favorite place — Leadenhall Market — is just up the street. Since it (and other things I’ve taken photos of) appear in the Harry Potter films, I thought it would be fun to have a Harry Potter Post.
I was (am?) a big Potterhead. (Hufflepuff — I even have the socks!) I think I can talk about each of these things without doing too much Googling.
Australia House was used as the interior of Gringott’s.
The Millennium Bridge was smashed up by flying bad guys!
Lambeth Bridge is where the Night Bus got skinny.
Borough Market was used as the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron in the later films.
Harry flies along the River Thames and over Tower Bridge in The Order of the Phoenix.
An enormous spiral staircase inside St. Pauls was used in The Prisoner of Azkaban.
And finally, this shopfront in Leadenhall Market was used as the entrance to The Leaky Cauldron in the early films. A photo from the film is below.
