In the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (aka Sorcerer's) Stone, Diagon Alley appears to be a short walk away from Leadenhall Market[?] in the City of London.
The name is a pun on "diagonally" (if proof of this is required it can be found in the movie version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.)
Leading off of Diagon Alley is the dark and dingy Knockturn Alley.
The DVD of the movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) includes a video "guided tour" of Diagon Alley, apparently shot on the original movie set.
