An 18th-century house on Goodwin's Court in Covent Garden, London, believed to have inspired Harry Potter's Diagon Alley, is on the market for £1.6 million. Built over three centuries ago following the Great Fire of London, the two-bedroom property is rumoured to have inspired both Diagon Alley and the darker Knockturn Alley.
The house is distinguished by one of London's last gas lamps, positioned above the steps leading to the black front door. Goodwin's Court is a well-known destination for Harry Potter fans, with themed tours passing by daily.
Initially listed for £2 million, the house was taken off the market and re-listed for £1,595,000 last month. According to the selling agent, Unique Property Company, the listing has since attracted significant interest from US buyers.
