Leather Bottle

The Leather Bottle is a pub at 538 Garratt Lane in Earlsfield, London SW17. It is a Grade II listed building that was built in the early 18th century, giving it a long history in the local area. The pub is currently operated by Young's, the British pub company and brewer. The pub's name appears in literary history: the introduction to Samuel Foote's play The Mayor of Garratt mentions the Leather Bottle, describing Earlsfield's mock Garrat Elections of the 18th century as having been founded by "a party of watermen, belonging to Wandsworth, dining at the Leather Bottle". This connection ties the pub to the area's historic Garrat Elections. Today the Leather Bottle presents itself as "Earlsfield's Best Pub and Beer Garden". Its offer includes seasonal British food, Sunday roasts, a large sunny beer garden, live sport, cocktails, craft beer and bookable spaces for every occasion. As a Young's-operated pub, it combines a historic listed building with a modern food-and-drink pub format aimed at local residents and visitors in south-west London.
