On Tuesday 2nd July 2024, we were delighted to welcome back to Leather Lane Dr Bike, a cycle maintenance and security bike marking scheme in partnership with the Metropolitan Police. A Dr Bike session provides our cycling commuters with a free bicycle maintenance MOT, where our qualified mechanics will be fine-tuning and checking wheels, brakes, gears, the rusty bits and everything that rattles! Any safety issues or problems that can’t be fixed on site will be highlighted and expert advice given. Keep your eyes peeled for future dates, with these due to be announced in the coming weeks!
We are delighted that our 28 colourful hanging flower baskets have been replanted across the district, as well as our 8 planters! We are keen to ensure that the area is a vibrant place to visit and these planters are a core part of our commitment to improve the public realm. These plants get watered multiple times a week, and are regularly maintained by our on-street facilities manager, Luis Carlos, who also ensures that the planters themselves are kept in great condition! This year, we also installed on the j-hooks which support the hanging baskets BID branded signs, to help people be more aware of the fact that they are in Hatton Garden, and how to get in contact with the BID.
Recently, The Sir Christopher Hatton pub partnered with Beavertown Brewery to bring their new Luna Haze IPA to the outdoor bar on Leather Lane! Keep your eyes peeled to see which brewery will be coming to Leather Lane next! Did you know, Lunar Haze is a cosmic cloud of an IPA. Hazy, smooth and juicy with tropical flavours that taste like a psychedelic dream like state. Effortlessly drinkable whatever the conditions!

If anyone should have any questions as it pertains to this, please do not hesitate to contact our BID Manager, Aaron.
