Leadenhall Market
The Leaky Cauldron is a famous wizarding pub in the Harry Potter series, located in London's magical community. It serves as a gateway between the non-magical world (the Muggle world) and the wizarding world, as it's the entrance to Diagon Alley, the bustling shopping district for wizards and witches.

St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is seen in the background during the Knight Bus sequence. Additionally, the Millennium Bridge, which is adjacent to St. Paul's Cathedral, was destroyed by Death Eaters in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

Millennium Bridge
In "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the Millennium Bridge in London is depicted as being destroyed by Death Eaters in a dramatic scene early in the film. This event occurs as part of an attack on London by Death Eaters, orchestrated by Voldemort and his followers, showcasing the escalating dangers faced by the wizarding world. While the Millennium Bridge's destruction is a fictional event in the Harry Potter universe, it adds to the tension and stakes of the story.

Thames River (Pass By)
The River Thames is a prominent geographical feature in London, and while it doesn't directly feature in the Harry Potter series, it has made occasional appearances in the films. For example, in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," there's a scene where Harry flies over the Thames on Buckbeak during a trial at the Ministry of Magic. Additionally, the Millennium Bridge, which spans the Thames, is destroyed by Death Eaters in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." So while the River Thames itself isn't a central element of the Harry Potter narrative, it does play a role in certain scenes, adding to the rich tapestry of the wizarding world's depiction of London.
