Leadenhall Market was used as Diagon Alley and the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron in the first Harry Potter movie.

Leadenhall Market is a restored Victorian covered market designed by Sir Horace Jones in 1881 (also the architect of Old Billingsgate and Smithfield Market). It was originally a meat market and you can still see the meat hooks above many of the shops but nowadays it's a great lunchtime destination with some fashion and gift shops too.

This is a short walk from The Monument if you fancy climbing the 311 steps for an excellent view across The City. Near there, you can find a not very well-known Viewing Terrace Near Tower Bridge to see Tower Bridge and HMS Belfast which were seen in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when the Order of the Phoenix were flying on their broomsticks escorting Harry to Grimmauld Place.
