Summary:
A magical 2-bedroom house on Goodwin's Court — the cobbled Covent Garden passage famously linked to Harry Potter for its likeness to Diagon Alley. Set across four characterful floors with two double bedrooms, two walk-in shower rooms, a family WC, a sofa bed and playful wizarding touches throughout. Theatres, Soho and the West End are all on your doorstep. Sleeps up to 6.
The Space:
THE SPACE: A characterful Harry Potter–inspired townhouse on historic Goodwin's Court — approx. 71 sqm / 763 sqft set across four floors in the heart of Covent Garden. No lift; the split-level layout is part of the home's charm.
LIVING AREA: A sociable reception anchored by a comfortable sofa bed and two green velvet armchairs around a decorative fireplace. Smart TV, a striking botanical wall mural, and the home's signature wizarding details — a Hogwarts Express 9¾ sign, a Triwizard wand display, and Diagon Alley signage by the staircase. The kind of room that earns a double-take the moment guests walk in.
BEDROOM ONE: A calm double with a green velvet headboard, built-in alcove shelving, a dresser with round gold mirror, and a wall-mounted TV. Hotel-quality linen throughout.
BEDROOM TWO: A second double on its own floor, with a charcoal velvet headboard, fitted wardrobe, a sculptural circular pendant light, and alcove shelving — bedrooms on separate levels for genuine privacy.
BATHROOMS: Two modern shower rooms with white metro tiling and backlit mirrors — one in soft blush, one in deep navy — each with a glass walk-in shower.
KITCHEN: Full kitchen-diner with grey shaker cabinetry, induction hob, oven, extractor and fridge, plus a SMEG kettle and toaster. A round marble dining table seats six, set over a heritage encaustic-tiled floor.

The Neighborhood:
Goodwin's Court is one of London's best-kept secrets — a gas-lit, cobbled passage that feels worlds away while sitting seconds from the West End. Famously cited as a real-life inspiration for Diagon Alley, it's pure atmosphere.
Step out and you're in the thick of Covent Garden: the Piazza, the boutiques and street performers, and an extraordinary run of restaurants — The Ivy, Frenchie, Balthazar and Dishoom all within minutes. The theatres of the West End, Leicester Square cinemas and Soho's bars are a short stroll away.
Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery and the river at Embankment are all walkable. One of the few addresses where guests genuinely won't need the tube.
