Leek in general

 

Newest Review: ... it was actually very nice (The Green Man on Compton to give them a big thumbs up). However, Leek itself was (and you'll have to forgive me for over-using the word) pants. It looked pretty enough. Lots of old cotton mill conversions. Lots of relics from the past. Lots of antique shops. My kind of place on the surface.
