Grimmauld Place

There is some uncertainty about the location of Grimmauld Place, the ancestral home of the Black family and the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix between 1996-1997. But as number 12 can't be seen by Muggles I think we can accept this is the most likely location at Claremont Square, N1 (a short walk from King's Cross station).

Lincoln's Inn Fields was used as the street outside no. 12 Grimmauld Place in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007).

Grimmauld Place is a play on "Grim Old Place" and the Georgian buildings in the square, while well-maintained these days, could well have been much more grimy in the past.
