The Leather Exchange

You're walking down Leathermarket Street—yes, that's really what it's called—and you'll spot this place tucked into what was genuinely a leather workshop back in the day. The vibe is unpretentious in the way that matters: original brick, wooden beams, the kind of place where locals actually prop up the bar rather than posing for Instagram. The menu leans into proper British pub classics done properly, and they take their beer selection seriously without being insufferable about it. It's the sort of spot you'd stumble into and think, 'Why don't more pubs round here feel like this?'
