This weekend I was updating our map gallery at http://maps.kartoza.com and I wanted to have WMS legends in my maps. The maps are mostly generated using QGIS server which also produces a nice looking graphic for its getLegendGraphic requests. Since Leaflet does not seem have a legend control out of the box, I wrote a small leaflet plugin to do it.

In the future I may extend the control to automatically fetch getLegendGraphics from all loaded WMS layers, but for now it simply takes a complete legend graphic URI as parameter.

Leaflet is a great web mapping client and extending it with little plugins is very easy to do. If you want to use the plugin I wrote, head over to the plugin repository and give it a try!
