HAFDiagon Alley
Tapping just the right brick in the wall behind the Leaky Cauldron in London ("Three up...two across...") will reveal an archway which is a portal into Diagon Alley, a long cobbled street where is to be found a strange and exciting assortment of shops and restaurants. It is unquestionably the hub of commerce in the British wizarding world, with virtually every wizarding business stationed there. Consequently, the demand for space here is steep, and rent costs "loads of Galleons".
After the Wizarding and Ministry Wars, the Minister for Magic took it upon himself to resurrect the desolation that Diagon Alley had fallen into. Old stores were revamped and within a year, commerce had been restored to the busy therefare. People returned to do their shopping no longer fearful of their lives, people ran their businesses no longer in fear of extortion, death or their businesses destroyed. A new era was indeed returning.
