Introduction

Shambles can be traced back to the 14th century, known for selling livestock and meat. Today, the ancient buildings on this street are plastered on wooden frames in an old-fashioned way, with many boutique shops on the street. It is the filming location of Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter movies and one of the most complete and oldest medieval streets in England. Every brick and every tile display the unique charm of the medieval period.
