Not sure this is still the cheapest or if they will do any more deals at the moment but here's who Imran, myself and at least 8 others used:

WLMG Nissan Park Royal 0203 199 0592
Ask for Sales Manager, Saqib 'Sakeeb'
Mention Imran or Tristan

Leaf Tekna with met paint, velour mats, 3.3kw: 6k miles for £125 per month or 8k miles for £136 both with £500 deposit. £0 deposit maybe possible by increasing monthly payment.

So what kind of 'real world' mileage ranges are you getting from them then?

Mines still in Aberdeen and only used for short journeys these few weeks, but the one I had for a weekend was allowing me 75 miles, including city, motorway, and hilly country side.  I think the low temperatures don't help but as the warmer weather moves in the range should increase.

This is probably my true experience at 75 miles

Got home with 4 miles left on the clock at the weekend!!

Yeah, I was very low one time.  I'm not sure what happens when zero miles is left, I can't see the car just stopping, it must have a limp home feature that's good for say five miles.

This is an interesting experiment where the Leaf battery is tested to the limit.
It seems as though, in the USA at least, if you run out of battery they tow you away for free...!

I think Nissan offer a free pick up service if you run out of juice.
