🧠 Fun fact

Martins Bank Building in Liverpool is a stunning example of Art Deco architecture. One fun fact is that during World War II, the bank's vaults were used to store the nation's gold reserves to protect them from potential Nazi invasion. The building's robust construction and secure vaults made it an ideal location for safeguarding this precious asset during such a tumultuous time.

Walk and Inspire

The interior scenes of the banking hall were filmed here, where Newt Scamander, the protagonist, embarks on his adventure. The ornate architecture and grandeur of the disused bank add to the magical atmosphere of the film. Interestingly, the building is currently closed with plans for conversion into a luxury hotel, adding a touch of mystery and future transformation to the filming location.
