Leadenhall Market (Bull's Head Passage)
About This Harry Potter Filming Location
Leadenhall Market is an ornate Victorian covered market in the City of London. The current cast‑iron and glass structure was designed by Sir Horace Jones in 1881, though a market has operated here since the 14th century. The roof’s coloured panels, wrought‑iron arches and cobbled walkways create an atmosphere reminiscent of a bygone era. Today the market hosts luxury shops, pubs and restaurants and acts as a public thoroughfare between Gracechurch Street and Lime Street. Its eclectic architecture makes it a popular filming location and a real‑world Diagon Alley.
