Reviews for The Elephant House
Quite disappointed, though I had low expectations.Went there while on a trip, not out of Potter-mania so I didn't expect much when getting in this "quaint" little place open on Victoria Street for now.It's really beautiful, though beware the steps, you might fall over once at the top!But seriously, £8 for the "Butterscotch Beer" when you can get the exact same thing for four times less and twice the amount in a classic souvenir shop...Apparently it is also widely known but I...read full review
