Leather Lane

Leather Lane is a street west of Hatton Garden, in the Holborn area of London.

It is home to a well-used weekday market which specialises in clothing, footwear and fruit and vegetables.

There are now many food retailers capitalising off the lunchtime trade offering a range of different foods from falafel wraps and burritos to hog roasts and jacket potatoes.

The lane was laid out in the medieval period following old fields and property boundaries.
