Gringotts Entrance Foyer
If you go up the white marble stairs and through the burnished bronze double doors you will find yourself in Gringotts Wizarding Bank. A Goblin doorman wearing scarlet and gold stands in the doorway and on occasion, a Wizard or two with a probity probe might be found here, checking for troublemakers. There are large and decorative vases in each corner of this small foyer, each containing a flitterbloom plant that appears to wave at you as you pass by. Silver doors lead into the main hall, which is where you take care of your financial business. The Entrance Foyer is a busy spot, with many witches, wizards and goblins bustling through it. Feel free to linger for a while and examine the portraits on the walls of famous Curse-Breakers and Goblins, though if the Gringotts security think you are blocking the doors, they'll certainly tell you to move along and you better do what they tell you.

Gringotts Main Hall
The main hall of Gringotts is a bustling place, impressive in its scope, scale and grandeur. The walls and the floors are made of gleaming marble and there are exquisite chandeliers lighting the hall. Long counters of dark and rich wood line each side of the hall. Goblins sit behind each desk, though there are a few witches and wizards wandering around. Beyond the long counters there are doors, leading from the hall to who knows where. Occasionally the doors appear to flicker if you stare at them for too long. The door which leads to the vaults and indeed to every other room in Gringotts, changes according to a secret schedule. This is the second of the safety precautions protecting the vaults beneath the ground. The first precaution is of course, the security Goblins and Wizards who are stationed at each door and roam the main hall and the entrance foyer.

Corridor to the Depths
Behind one of the doors off the main hall is a corridor leading down to the vaults. They are made of rough hewn stone and are dimly lit, torches sit in iron brackets along the length of the corridor. The passage way slopes downwards and the stone floor has been worn smooth by centuries of use. The corridor is long, it takes about ten minutes to reach the tracks at the bottom. When you reach the bottom, in the company of a Goblin, you will be helped into a cart and your journey down to your vault will begin, twisting and turning and dropping miles below the ground.

Goblin Offices and Security Station
One of the constantly changing doors from the main hall leads down a bare looking marble corridor, with private offices branching from it. The further along the corridor you get, the larger and more prestigious the offices are. The best Offices are set aside for those Goblins who hold significant positions in Gringotts. Quite often important meetings or appointments regarding Goblin business happen here. Usually meetings with ministry lackeys occur in one of the less well to do offices. No frills. If you are looking for a witch or wizard worker, you are better off going upstairs, most of them can be found somewhere near the Cursebreaker HQ, as its a little more cheerful up there. This is also where the Gringotts Security station can be found. Generally if you find yourself here, it will be under escort. The Gringotts Security Force is made up of Goblins and Wizards alike. In the main room, there is a wooden bench along one wall where anyone may wait and old fashioned, temporary jail cells along another. There are also several desks and aside from the cells, the holding room is actually a fairly cheerful place. Security implements of all kinds fill extensive racks and there are several portraits which link from here to other important places in the wizarding world, including certain locations in the Ministry of Magic. This area of the Bank is not for sightseeing, not unless you feel like volunteering for probity probe testing.

Goblin Mint
This is where new Galleons, Sickles and Knuts are minted and marked with the serial number of the goblin who made them. The room is at the end of a long corridor leading from the main hall, with old coins displayed in protected glass cases. It is hot within the room, that would be because of the furnace where the goblins make the molten metal used for coin making. The mills and presses are all manned by Goblins, though the repairs to the mills and presses are done by witches and wizards. As are the deliveries of the raw metals, most of which were recovered by curse-breakers or traded for the riches that the curse-breakers did discover.There is a viewing area, a small and secure room overlooking the Goblin Mint where processes can be observed. This is not a public area and an escort is necessary to reach this part of the bank.

Dragons Lair
On a level between the 1200 and 1201st vault is the most prominent of the numerous creature lairs under Gringotts bank. This particular one is notable because it has a rather large dragon in residence. The Dragon in question is a rare hybrid, a cross between a Chinese Fireball and a Hebridean Black, is about 28 feet long from tip to tail and closely resembles a Liondragon save for its scales are coloured black, making it doubly hard to see in the gloom. Like a Chinese Firedragon, it tolerates other dragons in the tunnels, the Hebridean Black's desire for a large range having been bred out of it. It has bright purple eyes and its tail is tipped with an arrow-shaped spike. She developed a taste for Goblins, a few having found themselves in her presence on feeding day. But the clankers are enough to keep the cart goblins, and the cart's other occupants safe.... most of the time.

Curse-Breaker HQ and trading offices
The Curse-Breaker HQ is on an upper level of Gringotts Bank. The Curse-Breakers are always busy whether home or abroad. They each have their own office space, though a few of the apprentice Curse-Breakers share an Office. Its a little lighter and brighter here compared to the rest of the building and as such many of the other witches and wizards who work at Gringotts have managed to snag offices up here too rather than in the dark marble corridors where their Goblin colleagues can be found.
