Setting of Diagon Alley

I was thinking about the filming at Oxford (somebody had mentioned 
that they might be doing the Diagon Alley, DA, there, but it doesn't 
seem to be true) so I got to thinking, just what does DA look like?

The wizarding world seems to have adapted different things from each 
time period of our (muggle) history.  Hogwarts is very midieval-ish, 
and the H. Express comes straight from the 1940's.  So what from 
whence does DA come? 

I, for one, have always unequivocally pictured it as looking much as 
London did before the Great Fire.  Very, Elizabethen, with the 
gables, and that crossed timber style.  What do you call it? DA, IMHO 
is full of narrow streets, with overhanging second storeys and 
cobblestone streets and, well you get the idea.  

Now I'm not the smartest w/ Architecture but I believe that what I 
described would be Elizabethen, right?  Well I'm interested to see 
how other people picture DA?  

Comments anyone?
