The Elephant House is officially back on George IV Bridge! 🐘☕ Four years after the devastation to the café during a fire on the bridge, this iconic café has been restored and is open to visitors and locals once again. Known as the location where early books of the Harry Potter series were written, the café is a popular spot for fans with many nods to the novels - and of course delicious coffee and sweet treats too. ✨
