I think he needs to find out where Geography books were written and pay it a visit ?!?!?!?!?
The truth is that HP was written mainly in another coffee shop that no longer exists.
Actually, it was written in the Elephant House, but at its former location on South Bridge, which is now occupied by another nice cafe/restaurant called Spoon.

Oxford - The Meeting Place For The Inklings
Aww these are really pretty! I would love to visit Oxford some time soon, so will make sure to stop in that pub. I've seen the Elephant House in Edinburgh lots of times.
Beautiful drawings! I've been to Stratford several times - lovely place!
