Actual location[]

Where does it say that Vauxhall Road has to be in London? There are at least 4 roads actually named this in the UK:

  • Hemel Hempstead
  • Luton
  • Birmingham
  • Liverpool

The road in London is called "Vauxhall Bridge Road. —Phil | Talk 11:14, July 21, 2014 (UTC)

"Harry turned to the back cover of the book and saw the printed name of a newsagents in Vauxhall Road, London."

Fair enough, thanks for that. So it's JKR's interesting geographical twitches we have to thank for the confusion: it's not like Grimmauld Place is real, after all. —Phil | Talk 14:17, July 21, 2014 (UTC)
Not to us, anyway :P --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 14:21, July 21, 2014 (UTC)
