Some people argue that the oldest pub in London is the White Hart on Drury Lane; others that it is the Angel on Bermondsey Wall, or the Lamb and Flag on Rose Street. All of these people are Muggles, and all of them are wrong. The oldest pub in London, as any wizard will tell you, is the Leaky Cauldron on Charing Cross Road." — The pub is the oldest in London [src] I’m guessing that if you’re reading this, you’re also a pretty big fan of the tales of the Boy who Lived – so I’ll let you in on a little secret… For a famous place, it was very dark and shabby. A few old women were sitting in a corner, drinking tiny glasses of sherry. One of them was smoking a long pipe. A little man in a top hat was talking to the old barman, who was quite bald and looked like a gummy walnut" — The Leaky Cauldron in 1991 [src] Cauldrons have had a magical association for centuries. They appear in hundreds of years' worth of pictures of witches, and are also supposed to be where leprechauns keep treasure. Many folk and fairy tales make mention of cauldrons with special powers, but in the Harry Potter books they are a fairly mundane tool. I did consider making Helga Hufflepuff's hallow a cauldron, but there was something slightly comical and incongruous about having such a large and heavy Horcrux; I wanted the objects Harry had to find to be smaller and more portable. However, a cauldron appears both in the four mythical jewels of Ireland (its magical power was that nobody ever went away from it unsatisfied) and in the legend of The Thirteen Treasures of Britain (the cauldron of Dyrnwch the giant would cook meat for brave men, but not for cowards)." There are loads of Harry Potter experiences in London – I’ve even written a self-guided walking tour but if you want to delve even deeper, book onto one of these guided tours or take a trip to the Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden .Experience a molecular Potions Class that brings magic to life.

This means that the building will be preserved and be protected and can be enjoyed for many years to come. A cellar was located beneath the ground floor, [18] [19] that held barrels containing the beverage supply for the establishment as well as a chest for holding reserve Floo Powder.

Leadenhall Market postcode is City of London, EC3V 1LT but I would never recommend driving in London as it’s too hectic with congestion and not to mention expensive.When was Leadenhall Market built? It’s one of the oldest markets halls in London and was originally built in the 14th-century. But, the market you see today was designed in 1881 by Sir Horace Jones which is why it’s so popular! It’s unsure where the name ‘Leadenhall’ came from but many suspect it was due to a Lead rooftop. Other theories suggest it’s an adaptation of ‘Leather Hall’.

He used to love visiting The Lamb Tavern and would regularly get fed scraps by the shop owners here. The experience will be akin to a Potion’s Class with Professor Snape or Horace Slughorn.You’ll have instructions and even a Potion’s Master on hand to help you. You’ll feel like your cauldron can brew its very own Amortentia Potion or a Draught of Living Death. Leadenhall was in the middle of the Roman settlement ‘Londinium’ and here was where the Forum (market) and Basilica (courts) were located. But, all this was later destroyed. Excavations have uncovered Roman tiles and artifacts here, you can see these items in the British Museum. While cauldrons remained classic potion-making utensils, there were attempts to revolutionise the cauldron, like the invention of the Self-Stirring Cauldron by Gaspard Shingleton, [6] or the Collapsible Cauldron. [4] [1] Humphrey Belcher once theorised " the time was ripe for a cheese cauldron" ( Albus Dumbledore would later comment he had been " woefully wrong" in this belief). [7]The decor is fantastic, very atmospheric and lots of attention to detail taken in regards to all things magical - we took a lot of photos! While the Leaky Cauldron was a favourite hangout for the magical community, its patronage took a turn for the worse in the summer of 1996, during the beginning of the Second Wizarding War. With Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters moving in the open, many witches and wizards avoided public places as much as possible, including the Leaky Cauldron. When Harry Potter, Rubeus Hagrid, and the Weasley family passed through the Leaky Cauldron that summer on his way to Diagon Alley, they noticed that the bar was empty with the exception of Tom. [15] Just nearby you have the iconic King’s Cross Station. Although there is no Platform 9¾ in real-life, there is a Harry Potter Shop with a trolley nearby for a photo opportunity.
