Leadenhall Market – Diagon Alley (Monument Station)

Step off at Monument Station to wander through the Victorian charm of Leadenhall Market. This picturesque location doubled as Diagon Alley in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone."

Claremont Square – Grimmauld Place (Angel Station)

Just a short walk from Angel station, you’ll find Claremont Square—the hidden-in-plain-sight location for Sirius Black's gloomy residence, 12 Grimmauld Place. Brands looking to attract affluent urban professionals can benefit from strategic In-station 12 Sheet placements at Angel station.

Westminster Tube Station – Ministry of Magic (Westminster Station)

Westminster Station, with its futuristic architecture, became the dramatic backdrop for the Ministry of Magic scenes in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." Brands can captivate audiences here through powerful advertising formats, such as large 96 Sheet Platform placements or dynamic Digital Ribbon screens.
