3. The Alchemist (Liverpool Street / Bevis Marks)

⚗️ Known for its show-stopping drinks that bubble, smoke, and change color, The Alchemist isn’t officially Harry Potter-themed—but the magic is definitely there. Think Diagon Alley meets a modern wizard’s lab.

🔮 A three-story immersive wonderland filled with wand-making workshops, interactive spell-casting, and a magical afternoon tea that feels straight out of a storybook.

5. Evans & Peel Detective Agency

🍸 Hidden behind an unassuming door, you’ll enter a secret 1920s detective’s office before being escorted to a moody bar. Not wizard-themed, but the speakeasy vibe gives serious Knockturn Alley energy.

6. Wands & Wizard Exploratorium Bar

🪄 Upstairs from the Exploratorium shop, this bar lets you cast spells to mix your own drinks. Expect floating lights, magical ingredients, and full-on wizardry at the bar.

11. The Nags Head (Camden Market)
