A nice place but, bottom line - just another old-fashioned pub. There are nice small pictures on the walls and the atmosphere is pleasant but … drop in if you are in the area.

A very decent pub in Lamb’s Conduit Street, with a good range of beers, a little beer 'garden’ out the back, and a lovely picture of the Queen mother pulling a pint. Whether she was actually pulling it in the Lamb is unconfirmed.

The Lamb is a Young’s pup, so you’ll find a range of Youngs beers - young’s bitter, young’s special, waggle dance, etc. The drinks are reasonably pricey - about £3 a pint, but this is London, and you just have to take it or move to one of those cheap, beautiful European cities with good weather, good food, beautiful women, etc. Erm, that could be a good idea!

Anyway, they also do food, which I haven’t tried, and it’s nice to stand outside on a warm night. Definitely worth a visit.

Ace Victorian boozer complete with funny little windows around the bar, in a lovely little pocket of town. They occasionally have an acoustic night in the room upstarts. Excellently kept Young’s ales. Gets rammed so get there early!

Dating back to 1720, the grade-II listed historic, U-shaped pub is owned by Young’s, and has a spectacularly well-preserved Victorian interior, complete with ‘snob screens’ on the bar, beautiful etched glass decoration and lots of polished wood.
Snob screens were essentially a way of ordering your drinks at the bar without being seen by the clientele opposite - usually so the upper classes could not be seen by their servants. The small rectangular opague glass panels can be closed to provide complete privacy, or swivelled to talk to the bar staff. The screens run the length of the U-shaped bar.
As well as the Young’s range, they have other real-ales on tap too (six hand-pumps) and last night included the wonderful Deuchars IPA, beautifully kept. Nectar. The clientele are a mixed crowd of locals, students, office workers and tourists, but it is very friendly, and service is good (once you get the hang of the screens). It’s often very busy.
The pub name (and the street) recall the philanthropist William Lamb, who paid for the fresh water conduit to be repaired in 1577.
Recommended.

This lovely little pub gives the visitor the impression that he or she is walking into a private club. This is obviously a place where old friends come to meet and discuss the news of the day. While the bar staff will happily chat with the regulars, this is not to the detriment of the service and newcomers will receive a welcoming smile and a carefully poured pint. The high Victorian style of the pub and plethora of black and white photographs of actresses and handsome society ladies from the turn of the century accentuate this pub’s charm. The upstairs can (and, in this reviewer’s opinion, should) be rented out for private events. If you’ve never been to The Lamb and love London’s historic pubs, this little local is definitely worth a visit.
