Iggy here:

*nod* I recently registered it into my brain (read as "about 5 minutes after
I wrote in the original question") that the Lexicon would be a good source
site for this.

Iggy here:

Actually, that's exactly why I wanted that info.  *grin*

I'm starting to write a rather long and involved fan-fic, and I want things
to be as close to accurate as possible.

Which also leads me to another question...

Can anyone here (and this will probably spark a certain amount of debate)
give an American who has never been to London the best description of how to
get from Heath Row Airport to the Leaky Cauldron, and then from there to
King's Cross Airport?  This is a concern for me because I am wondering how,
for example, a muggle from Glasgow get to Diagon Alley (through the Leaky
Cauldron) and then to the Hogwarts express using only muggle transport...
