[[File:|thumb|right|500px|The Robin Hood was originally, perhaps always, located somewhere around this area shown in the photo / Google Earth Street View.]]

The Robin Hood or Robin Hood and Little John in Leather Lane existed from at least 1767 to 1910. The street number seems to have varied. First the pub was at No. 8, then 9 and by 1895 No. 10 Leather Lane.[1] In 1786, the pub was located on the east side of the lane, for asked about its location in relation to Robin Hood Yard, which was on that side of the lane, a party to a case at the Old Bailey said that it "joins the yard". Information on publicans gleaned from trade directories etc. from the period 1767–1910 can be found at UK Pub History (see Sources section below).
There were three Robin Hood pubs in Holborn: Robin Hood (High Holborn), Robin Hood (Holborn), Robin Hood (Leather Lane, Holborn). When one comes across references to one or other of them in records, for instance Old Bailey case reports such as those listed below, it can be difficult to determine which is meant, but the one we are concerned with on this page is often identified as being in Leather Lane.Template:PnItemQry
