East Leake is a sizeable village in the borough of Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, England, lying on the A60 roughly between Nottingham and Loughborough. Set against gently rolling farmland and overlooked by a mix of older stone cottages and later housing, the village has medieval roots visible in its parish church and conservation-area streets, while neighbouring West Leake hints at the area's historic settlement pattern.
Today East Leake feels like a commuter-friendly community with local shops, schools, sports clubs and a busy calendar of village events; many residents travel to nearby centres for work while small businesses and services sustain the local economy. The balance of modern development with preserved historic character gives it a distinctly village atmosphere despite its convenient transport links.
