Description
This wooden street plaque brings the famous Diagon Alley sign from the Harry Potter stories into your home, styled like an old-fashioned street name board. A black face carries DIAGON ALLEY in tall gold capitals, set inside a raised gold frame with neatly notched corners. Beneath it hang three smaller boards with rounded, shaped ends, reading LEAKY CAULDRON, KNOCKTURN ALLEY and GRINGOTTS BANK, each beside a little pointing hand that sends you on your way through the wizarding shopping street. The piece is 30cm wide and just 1cm deep, finished in black and gold, with a metallic effect on the gold that catches the light.
Hang it on a bedroom door, along a hallway or above a bookshelf and an ordinary corner of the house becomes a stop on the way to Gringotts. Short black chains link each board to the next, and a longer loop of chain at the top lets the whole sign hang from a single hook or nail, with the three direction boards falling in a neat column below the main name. At only 1cm deep it sits close to the wall or door, which suits a narrow landing or passageway where anything bulkier would get knocked. The black and gold looks as good against dark paint as on a pale wall, and it sits happily in a study, a reading corner or a games room.
Each board is wood, with a black face, gold lettering and a gold border that shows a soft brushed texture up close. Dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and keep it in a dry room indoors, away from steam and splashes. With its chains already in place it is ready for the wall straight away, and it makes a cheerful present: hang it in the hallway and every visitor will know the way to the Leaky Cauldron.

Frequently Asked
How big is the Diagon Alley plaque?
It measures 30cm wide and 1cm deep. That slim depth lets it sit close against a wall or door, with three smaller direction boards hanging in a column below the main sign.
What is the plaque made of?
The boards are wood, with a black face and gold lettering and frames finished with a metallic effect. Short black chains link the boards together.
How does the sign hang?
A loop of black chain at the top hangs from a single hook or nail. The three lower boards are already linked below the main sign by short chains, so there is nothing to assemble.
What do the boards say?
The main board reads DIAGON ALLEY. The three boards below read LEAKY CAULDRON, KNOCKTURN ALLEY and GRINGOTTS BANK, each with a little pointing hand beside the words.
How should I look after it?
Dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth. Keep it in a dry room indoors, away from steam and splashes, so the black and gold stay crisp and clean.
Would it make a good present?
Yes. It makes a cheerful present for a bedroom door, a study or a hallway, and with its chains already in place it is ready to hang straight away.
