The gateway between London and Rita's hometown. The pub was built by Daisy Dodderidge around 1500 ""to serve as a gateway (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizworld/places/leaky_cauldron.html) between the non-wizarding world and Diagon Alley (fw32)."

Diagon Alley, a long cobbled street where is to be found a strange and exciting assortment of shops and restaurants, some of which have tables outside with brightly colored umbrellas.

The Apothecary sells potion ingredients. It's a fascinating shop crammed with all sorts of interesting things. There are barrels of slimy stuff lined up on the floor and jars of all sorts of powders, herbs, and the like along the walls. Bundles of feathers, fangs, and claws hang from the ceiling. The whole place smells very bad, a mixture of bad eggs and rotten cabbage. The name of this shop is Slug & Jiggers Apothecary.

When you need a break-- get your chocolate-and-raspberry with nuts here.

Manager is a bit brusque, but then he has to deal with strange and bothersome things like books that bite (The Monster Book of Monsters), books that are completely invisible (The Invisible Book of Invisibility), and book signings by Gilderoy Lockhart, who draws quite a crowd which can get a bit unruly at times.

Gringott's (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizworld/places/gringotts.html").

For all your money-changing needs from Muggle to Wizard money.

Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes! (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizworld/wheezes.html)

Knockturn Alley is a dingy alleyway where the shops are devoted to Dark Arts items. The alley is connected to Diagon Alley near Gringotts. There are stores selling shrunken heads, live gigantic black spiders, and poisonous candles. Street vendors include an old witch with a tray full of whole human fingernails. And somewhere in the alley, according to Hagrid, someone sells Flesh-Eating Slug Repellent.

Just a few (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/dark_items.html) of the items for sale.

St. Mungo's (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizworld/places/mungos.html), floor by floor.
