Leather Lane is a street in Holborn, in the modern borough of Camden (London, England). It is the site of the Leather Lane Market, the oldest street market in Camden. Brooke's Market, an open-air butchers market, was established on the site in the late 17th century. There is still a market at the site today, selling food, clothes, and other cheap products.

Phase 1
Of Groundsel and Chickweed Sellers. (Volume 1): "I goes into Leather-lane every Saturday night, and stands with my basket there, so that altogether, last week I made 3s. 1½d. But that was a slack week with me, owing to my having lost Thursday. If it hadn’t been for that I should have made near upon 4s. We felt the loss very severely. Prices have come down dreadful with us."
