Leadenhall Market

Good for: The shops are high-end and the cafes always packed with suited City workers, but what a locale! The glorious wrought iron-and-glass canopy (1882), once shelter for a meat market, is an architectural treasure. In the first Harry Potter film, this is where The Leaky Cauldron is found.
