The Leather Exchange, Borough, SE1

Randomness Guide to London - Leather Exchange entry

A Fuller's pub seemingly, but with only London Pride and Discovery on. The Pride tasted like it was supposed to taste, and at £3.20 a pint not particularly cheap. Furnishings are somewhat minimalist – some sofas, normal tables with what appears to be recycled kindergarten or primary school chairs (a new one on me) and a couple of high stools that look like 70s IKEA rejects. They're probably worth a £100 a pair though. There was some music being played (didn't recognise it) too loudly for my taste, plus a TV that was switched off. There's not much on the walls – one large chalkboard just had “coming soon” written on it. I wonder what is coming soon? I doubt whether I shall return to find out. I found this place to be a bit soulless and uninspiring, but I suppose it must appeal to some people as there were a dozen or so punters in there.

Was previously called The Jugglers Arms.
