Leather Lane Market

Leather Lane is a stone’s throw from the busy junction of Theobalds Road and Grays Inn Road, run by Camden Council. Leather Lane is an interesting part of London which sits just in front of London’s Diamond Quarter – Hatton Gardens.

It used to be a pretty lifeless part of town but now it has a new lease of life with many trendy design and media companies housed there. The high street itself has massively improved over the years. It has many gems. Daddy Donkey who used to run a hugely popular burrito stall on the market has recently opened up there. It has Monmouth Coffee, Kate Kanza a long-time favourite independent shoe shop of mine, and Fully City Bikes bringing their own two-wheel community vibes to the area. It would also be sacrilege not to mention the Falafel King at Sara’s Food Store, here you can sample arguably the best falafels in London.

The market is essentially a traditional one, but nowadays food vendors seem to be more popular than other non-food stalls. It has a good lunchtime trade and is a popular spot for local workers to take lunch.
