Where is Gringotts located?

The wizarding bank located in Diagon Alley, Gringotts was owned and operated by goblins. Dating back to 1474 the cavernous tunnels lead miles underground and stretch out beneath the streets of London, with the highest-security vaults located the deepest.



In the Harry Potter universe, Gringotts Wizarding Bank is located in Diagon Alley in London. The entrance is a grand, snowy-white building that towers over the other shops, situated at the intersection of North Side and the South Side of the alley. For muggles visiting in 2026, you can find life-sized recreations of Gringotts at two primary locations: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Florida, where a fire-breathing dragon sits atop the crooked marble building, and at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter, where the original sets are on display. In the films, the bank's exterior was inspired by Australia House on the Strand in London, which served as the filming location for the grand interior hall. Whether in the books or at a theme park, Gringotts remains the "safest place in the world for anything you want to keep safe."
