In the third film, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” another location was used as the Leaky Cauldron. Head across London Bridge to 7 Stoney Lane in Borough Market, next door to the Market Porter Pub and underneath the railway bridge.
A flower shop, Chez Michele, was chosen as the new entrance to the Leaky Cauldron, first seen in "Prisoner of Azkaban" after Harry arrives from a bumpy ride on The Knight Bus.

Death Eaters destroy the Millennium Bridge which collapses spectacularly into the River Thames below in “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.”
See MoreKing’s Cross
The home of platform 9 3/4 and the gateway to Hogwarts. You can have your photo taken pushing a trolley through the wall, but you’ll probably have to queue with many other Harry Potter fans for the pleasure. And of course you visit the Harry Potter shop to stock up on wands, school scarves and all sorts of Hogwarts paraphernalia.

Inside St. Paul's, find the spiral staircase used as the Divination Stairwell at Hogwarts!

Scenes featuring Platform 9 3/4 were filmed inside Kings Cross Station, the exterior shots instead featured St. Pancras International Station, located just across from the main entrance of Kings Cross.
The majestic Gothic exterior of St. Pancras International Station and the adjoining St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel can be spotted in the "Chamber of Secrets,” where the Weasleys parked their flying car that Harry and Ron later take off in for their misadventures.

Just up the road from Kings Cross station, you’ll find Sirius Black’s family home. 12 Grimmauld Place is actually a house on Claremont Square (23-29) – a pretty, quiet street in Islington.

BookGreat Scotland Yard
The Ministry of Magic in real life, or its filming location that is. Just off Trafalgar Square, you will find Great Scotland Yard where the external shots of the Ministry of Magic were filmed.
See MoreAustralian High Commission
The glitzy interiors of Gringotts Wizarding Bank were filmed in Australia House on the Strand, the High Commission of Australia in London. As you might expect, you can’t simply waltz into the building without an appointment, muggle, wizard or otherwise.
However, you still can have a peek through the glass door to admire the marbled floors and crystal chandeliers that adorn the goblin bank in the movies.
