First find element and get its attribute value in variable as explained below.

String linkText = webDriver.findElement(By.tagName("a")).getAttribute("href");

You can use the getAttribute method:

String hrefText = yourLinkElement.getAttribute("href");

If you also need to find your linkElement first, you need to provide more code.

Given you only have one link Element:

WebElement yourLinkElement = driver.findElement(By.tagName("a));

Or for example if you already identified the div-Element, that we see with the closing tag in your question you can do this:

WebElement yourLinkElement = divElement.findElement(By.tagName("a));
