Leather Lane

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.
