Potion Square



City maps and ordnances call it ‘Graf Anders Square’, but this name is hardly ever used by Suiddockers. Ask for Graf Anders Square and you’ll get a blank look, and be told to head towards
Elftown! Ask for Potion Square and you’ll stand a good chance of getting the right directions.

The name comes from the fact that the Square is close to Zegepraal Straat – generally known as Leech Street, where a great many physicians and other healers live and work. The predominantly medical nature of the area is reflected in many unofficial local place-names: for example, locals know the small canal which separates Potion Square from Leech Street as the Poultice Water, rather than its official name of the Tussenkanaal.
