Is it possible that Diagon Alley itself is 1.5 miles long?
It is already playing with space so it won't leave an blank spot on
muggle maps.  We know there are a lot of stores there as it is *the*
primary shopping location for the WW.  We already know there is at
least on side alley so as a whole it can't be a small area.  Easily bordered
with The Leaky Cauldron at one end and Kings Cross Station at the other,
There could be a special arrival area just outside the station where all
the students and families floo in with their trunks bypassing the foot
traffic in Diagon Alley itself.  I'm behind in my reading-do we ever see
where the Weasley's come out when they floo there.  We know you can floo
directly to a particular store but they didn't say a store name in CoS,
just "Diagon Alley."  Doesn't it make sense then that there's a general
arrival area?  And why not put it right next to the train station to
accomodate both students leaving and also anyone who comes into London by
train?
