Why not have them enter Knockturn Alley by way of Diagon Alley? The 
two intersect near Gringotts. Knockturn Alley is essentially part of 
what is generally called Diagon Alley - it's a connected "sub-alley." 
The description in CS suggests that it's fairly small. The largest 
shop, Borgin and Burkes, certainly doesn't seem all that large.
