HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE,
2001, AUSTRALIA HOUSE, THE STRAND, LONDON
Harry Potter fans, bring your wand and board the
Hogwarts Express to the 21-arched Glenfinnan
viaduct in Scotland (above) or visit Australia House
(far right). This suitably stately and imposing building
is the home of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, est. 1417,
owned and operated by goblins,
and “the safest place in the world
for anything you want to keep safe”.
