Tucked away underneath an unsuspecting housing estate lies an enchanting surprise for the wizarding world. Away from the grey and mundane life of muggles sits a spellbinding real life Chamber of Secrets.
Constructed in 1875 the large underground reservoir was once the main water source in Edinburgh. The large space has high ceilings and huge archways, adding to its resemblance of the famous Harry Potter book-turned-film.
The underground building once served as a 15 million gallon tank, which was part of the Alnwickhill waterworks. When the waterworks closed a lot of buildings were demolished and replaced with new homes but the disused reservoir was preserved.
