Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the history of one of the most famous wizarding bars in the entire world--the Leaky Cauldron.

Located at number 1 Diagon Alley within the wizarding world, and "accidentally" built into the development of Charing Cross Road within Muggle society, the Leaky Cauldron is notably the oldest pub in all of London. The bar and adjoining inn was built sometime in the early 1500s by a witch named Daisy Dodderidge. Dodderidge, who, of course, became the Leaky Cauldron's first landowner, had the bar constructed at the same time as many of the other shops that now run the length of the wizarding street Diagon Alley. It's said that since that time, not much has changed and that the Leaky Cauldron has always been somewhat of an unassuming place, simply meant to offer a comfortable and welcoming establishment to those interested in grabbing a pint or looking for a room to stay in.

The Leaky Cauldron is made up of a ground floor, as well as a small upper level. On the ground level there is the bar, as well as a staircase that leads up to a few bedrooms for travellers looking to spend the night. There are also two main entryways into the bar--one from Charing Cross Road in the front, and one out back from Diagon Alley.
