    • The Leaky Cauldron

      The Leaky Cauldron is a popular wizarding pub and inn. It's located in London, United Kingdom and the entrance to Diagon Alley and indirectly Knockturn Alley. The rear of the pub opened up onto a chilly courtyard that contains the entrance to both alley ways.

      Location:
      • To Muggles, the pub appears to be a broken-down old shop front on a bussy road.
      • Postal adress:
        WC?? ???, London, Diagon Alley 105, United Kingdom
      History:
      • 1500s-1689
        The Leaky Cauldron was built in the 1500s by Daisy Dodderidge. The Leaky Cauldron was there long before the bussy road, at the front of the pub, was even planned; it is believed to have been built along with the rest of the wizarding street. Created some two centuries before the imposition of the International Statute of Secrecy, the Leaky Cauldron was initially visible to Muggle eyes. While the pub was, from the first, a place for witches and wizards to congregate, Muggles were not turned away or made to feel unwelcome, even though some of the conversations, not to mention pets, caused many an unwary drinker to leave without finishing his or her mead.
      • 1692
        In 1692 with the imposition of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, Minister Ulick Gamp permitted the pub to continue its existence as a safe haven and refuge for members of the magical community. Though insistent on numerous concealment spells and good behaviour from all who used the pub, Gamp was sympathetic to the need of wizards to let off steam during this difficult time, and further agreed to give the landlord permission to let people into Diagon Alley from his backyard, because the shops behind the Leaky Cauldron were now also in need of protection. Out of gratitude, the landlord created a new brand of beer, Gamp's Old Gregarious, which tasted so disgusting that even with a one-hundred-Galleon incentive, nobody could finish a pint.
      • 1800s
        The Leaky Cauldron has changed little over the years; it is small, dingy and welcoming, with fifteen bedrooms above the public bar for travellers who live a long way from London. It is the ideal spot to catch up with wizarding gossip if you happen to live a long way from the nearest magical neighbour.
        One of the most difficult times for the Leaky Cauldron was the creation of the "bussy road" in 1877, which had it planned for the time being, would have flattened the pub. The Minister at that time, Faris Spavin, was certain that this was the end of the pub, and that it could not be saved. By the time he finished his seven-hour speech declaring this, however, he had received a note from his secretary revealing that wizards had rallied, and through the mass of memory charms had altered the entire route of the new road, leaving the architects confused as to why there was a blank space on the design, and why said space did not appear to the naked eye.
      • 1995-1998
        While the Leaky Cauldron was a favourite hangout for the magical community, its patronage took a turn for the worse in the summer of 1996, during the beginning of the Second Wizarding War. With Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters moving in the open, many witches and wizards avoided public places as much as possible, including the Leaky Cauldron.
      • 1998-2014
        In 2000 Hannah Abbott became the landlady at the Leaky Cauldron, replacing the old landlord Tom, Hannah and her husband lived together above the pub. 2014, Hannah eventually gave up being landlady of the Leaky Cauldron and decided to train as a healer.
