Dr Zoyander Street :
I'm gonna be a little curmudgeonly here: it was more intriguing and magical before there were a bunch of Harry Potter themed shops there. It was more like all the traditional shops were imbued with a secret magic, like they were trying to hide it but it kept leaking out through the cracks in the masonry. Now it's a bit crass, they're trying too hard.

i thought this was a myth and the inspiration behind diagon alley was Exeter as that’s where jk rowling went to uni?

but it's not diagon alley and it doesn't need little Harry potter shops. The Shambles used to be a lovely old street full of quirky tasteful shops

it's definitely not. it's based on a street in London that is tiny tiny.. they rebuilt it in the studios to fit more people in

Thanks, tiktok algorithms, I was there a week ago, and I don't have spare cash to visit it again so soon... Even if I want to. 🥺
The most magical street in town! Although it didn't inspire Diagon Alley, it's still the perfect place to start a Wizard Walk 🧙♂️🪄✨

It’s always super crowded though and the lines for the shops are really long, there also other great shops that don’t get enough visitors and recognition
