Great shop near street market 27th August 2008

It is easy to walk here (uphill) from Farringdon station. Leather Lane is an old-established lunchtime street market, with a great range of clothes and interesting other items, right in the City. The names of the nearby streets reflect the old trades of the residents, and there are many bargains to be found among these leather workers. This is a real location for people in the know. The Pret is towards the bottom of the street – walk up, away from Holborn, to find the interesting stalls, once you have had your coffee and sandwich. Better still, go shopping first and then refresh your spirits with their excellent food and drink! I do find Pret the best sandwich shop, as their food is great, and their coffee is good (if not quite as good as Caffe Nero). Where on earth do Pret get their staff? As a connoisseur of coffee shops, I remain convinced that Pret staff are far nicer, and more friendly, than any other coffee shop.
