Great Hall of the Leaky Cauldron

The pub was built by Daisy Dodderidge in 1500 "to serve as a gateway between the non-wizarding world and Diagon Alley." It rents rooms, has a bar, several private parlor rooms, and a large dining room.

To Muggles, the pub appears to be a broken-down old shop front on Charing Cross Road. The rear of the pub, however, opens up onto a chilly courtyard and the entrance to Diagon Alley. To gain access, a witch or wizard taps a specific brick in the wall with his or her wand. A doorway to Diagon Alley then forms which then re-arranges back to the original wall after the person(s) walk through. For much of the 20th century Tom was the owner. Owners after him are unknown. However as of 2018 The Leaky Cauldron is under new ownership. The new owner Jakoby Maximus is a former student of Hogwarts.
