Blackbird, The
A restaurant owned by Lucas Wilde, located next to an apothecary and a divination shop on Diagon Alley. It was blown up in the attacks by the Ashwinder Coalition in December and reopened on April 13 with a large party after being rebuilt with funds from Giselle Yaxley. The new and improved Blackbird features a floor of private rooms with well-secured wards, a rooftop dining area, and a DJ turntable for parties thrown there. Lucas serves all kinds of fare at the Blackbird, from classic fish 'n chips and cheeseburgers to vegetarian foods and exotic recipes of his own creation, and there is a well-stocked bar. It is a casual and weird place and has many patrons among the wizarding world, young and old. It also serves great coffee.
Blood Orchid
Deep within Brixton rests a small converted warehouse owned currently by the enigmatic Grey Kid. It is a showcase for unsigned bands and has, on one occasion, burned down due to the large amounts of liquor served on the premises. Blood Orchid holds monthly Battle of the Bands contests and is where the Buzz Killingtons were first spotted. Grey Kid keeps the age limit nonexistant proclaiming that people of all ages need to hear decent music played and started charming those of age with a red orchid on their wrist. The name Blood Orchid grew out of this, though it is simply a nickname as the club has no formal name.
Booty Chest
The Booty Chest was created first as the top class of pirate themed strip clubs within London and soon sky rocketed into fame when a fight between Fry McEntire and Regulus Black was splashed onto the front page of the Nevermore in October 1982. The famous fight over a belt and a wife brought attention to the small club and soon owner Clive Smith had to close the doors for a remodel. When it reopened, The Booty Chest had been recreated into the hull of a pirate ship complete with parrots and serving wenches. It is located within Highbury but there has been talk of opening another location within Diagon Alley. Is now owned by Regulus Black under the false name of Grey Kid.
Charmed Croissant
A small bakery owned by Thorfinn Rowle located within Covent Garden, just around the corner from the former location of the Ministry of Magic. Was damaged in the attacks upon the Ministry last January. It is quite popular with Unspeakables, though business has dropped off since the Ministry moved.
China Club
Located deep within Central London, near the Waterloo Tube Station in Lambeth. It's mostly known for a very interesting mix of Chinese atmosphere and heavy metal music. Was nearly destroyed in the attacks by the Malleus Maleficarum but has been bought by Regulus Black and plans to reopen within the next three months.
Creative Cooking Apothecary
A small apothecary formally within Diagon Alley. It was destroyed during the Ashwinder Coaliation attack on December 1, 1982.
Department of Mysteries
After the attack on the Ministry of Magic in December 1982, the Department of Mysteries was moved out of the formal Ministry building and into their own location within Knockturn Alley. It is housed in a nondescript warehouse with no windows but with a high level of security. The layout is very similar to the former Department of Mysteries with the exception of having quite a bit more room for cake.
Diablooks
Another business owned by Regulus Black, this one is a bookstore filled with books all about the devil.
Divine, The
A magical club not far from Diagon Alley, and a popular hang out for the younger crowd.
East India Company
A small former opium den remodeled into a thriving club atmosphere, East India Company is the place to go in London to hear DJs import the newest sounds from around the world. Nightly drink specials and a backroom offering hooka pipes to those interested keeps patrons returning. It opens late and runs into the early morning (22:00-7:30) and can be found in the West India Quay. Dress code strictly enforced.
Enchanted Tea Leaf
Opened in 1977, the ETL is the place to go for tea within magical London. Offering the best in homemade tea blends and freshly baked scones, the prices are kept to a minimum but the service is quick. Those in the know have created their own tea blend and have it kept below the counter with small kettles with their names charmed onto them to be brought out when they appear. This service costs nothing extra and is simply one of the reasons people keep going to the ETL. With five locations, the largest being in Diagon Alley, the ETL has become a large chain of organic certified tea bars. The main location, simply called the original ETL, or ETL 1 for short, was the sight of an inferi attack in 1979 and they have yet to replace the outdoor furniture.
Good Relations
A wizarding sex shop destroyed in the Ashwinder Coalition attack on December 1, 1982. It was located within Knockturn Alley three blocks from the current Department of Mysteries.
Magical Climax
A magical sex shop owned by Regulus Black, recently opened in Knockturn Alley.
Ministry of Magic
Now located in a highrise office building in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The Ministry of Magic covers eleven floors with the same layout as the former Ministry. It was opened for business on December 31, 1982 just in time for the New Year celebrations.
Something Amazaing
A strip club that may or may not exist, supposedly in New York but really in London, and may or may not be owned by Regulus Black, Kirley Duke and Julian Derrick.
Victorian Corsetry
A large and hardly known S&M club located in Hackney, Victorian Corsetry attempts to recreate the turn of the century atmosphere in London. Each girl is brought in for reasons unknown but dress in the costumes of the time period with modifications to each outfit to each girl's specifications. The club is private and only those knowing the password are allowed in. Learning the password isn't as easy as one might guess and the owners of the club have yet to make their presence known. The girls that work there adopt names of the British royalty and pass out cards to those they find an interest in. Each card is good for one visit only and the services provided vary depending on the night. Costs to men once in the door can escalate quickly as just a few minutes with a single female can be upward of 1,000 pounds. It is staffed mostly by females with males only working the front door and as security. Located deep within Hackney, the club isn't in the best place, but it still attracts enough people to keep it in business. Has recentally been taken over by Liz Jones and Julian Derrick.
Lilly's
A small second hand shop near Diagon Alley. It is well known within the area for having only top of the line used clothing along with their own cleaners and tailors in the back of the store to make anything look brand new. New merchandise comes in daily and for special customers they will stay open later than their usual 18:00 close time.
