The Leaky Cauldron

The Leaky Cauldron is "dark and shabby" but welcoming. The main room on the ground floor has a bar and quite a few tables, and down the narrow hall from here is a private parlor, also with a fireplace.

From the ground floor, a "handsome wooden staircase" leads up to the guest rooms, of which there are at least five and almost certainly more. The rooms have brass numbers on the doors and contain comfortable beds, polished oak furniture, and a fireplace and a mirror that talks in a "wheezy voice." From the windows, both Charing Cross Road (on the Muggle side) and Diagon Alley (on the wizarding side) can be heard.

To get to Diagon Alley, one must go through the Leaky Cauldron.
