🚇Russell Square 🍺 £6.65 Estrella ❤️ A Brilliant Bloomsbury Boozer. . The Lamb is located on Lamb’s Conduit Street in the heart of Bloomsbury. The nearest Tube station is Russell Square which is a pleasant five minute walk. . The Lamb was built in the 1720s, it was rebuilt in the Victorian era and is now Grade II listed.This beautifully green tiled pub and the street were named after William Lamb who built the Holborn Conduit which brought fresh water to Bloomsbury in 1577. . This is a compact one bar pub that is all things Victoriana. At the centre of the bar is a ‘U’ shaped servery which has narrow seating areas down either side plus a couple of cosy corners. The absolute stand out feature here are the antique Victorian Snob Screens. These frosted screens were popular in the 1890s hiding posh punters from drinkers in other rooms. The pub has wood-panelled and embossed wallpaper walls covered with photographs of musical hall stars. The seating is a mix of long leather buttoned banquettes, low and high level stools and traditional chairs around Britannia tables. There is a function room upstairs, known as the Empire Room, at the rear of the pub there is a small courtyard beer garden. . This @youngspubs boozer had an impressive beer selection which included five cask ales. I had a pint of Estrella, my pint was very enjoyable if a little pricey. The food menu consisted of hearty pub grub classics, Fish & Chips costs £17.50. . We arrived bang on opening time, I must admit there is something special about being first in the doors at a pub. We were served by a very nice member of staff who was welcoming and courteous. We then proceeded to have a good mooch around the pub, marvelling in its Victorian splendour. . Whenever I mention the @lamb.bloomsbury to anyone, people always reply with a list of superlatives, superb, excellent, glorious , marvellous, this pub is all of those things. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 22.07.23

First visit for quite a while and still a great little pub. Staff are lovely and happy for a chat and a laugh. The beer as always was excellent- Guinness and Proper Job is this instance. Beautiful glass work around the bar helping to make this one of the more characterful pubs in London.

A truly fantastic pub and hidden in such a great area. Well worth the trip for great beer, welcoming staff & a fun & friendly environment. There’s also a fun pub quiz upstairs every week and garden!

After a captivating day exploring the treasures of the British Museum, my group and I stumbled upon The Lamb Pub, a recommendation from a London local. This authentic pub, nestled in the heart of Bloomsbury, offered the perfect sanctuary for us to unwind. The historic charm of The Lamb, a traditional pub with a rich history, added a unique touch to our experience. It’s a place that prides itself on serving seasonal and nostalgic pub food, with a special mention for its vegan and vegetarian options, catering to various dietary needs. The staff’s friendly and welcoming demeanor made our visit even more enjoyable. As we sat back with our pints in hand, the pub’s ambiance, complete with antique screens and beautiful Victorian decor, transported us to another era. The hidden garden terrace was a delightful surprise, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling city. Located conveniently between Holborn and Russell Square station, The Lamb’s focus on cask and craft beers, along with indulgent full-bodied wines, complemented our lively discussions about the museum’s artifacts and our plans for the rest of the day. In summary, The Lamb Pub is not just a place for a quick drink; it’s a hub of British culture and history, a perfect blend of the past and present. It was exactly what we were looking for – an authentic London pub experience.

No music, just a loud hum of voices. Super friendly and efficient service. Black pudding scotch egg with homemade picallili was different in a good way. Steak and kidney pud was lovely as was the giant fish and chips. Good beer too. What more could you want.

Beautiful pub but unfortunately possibly the most miserable barman on the planet. £6.45 a pint and refused to put the last 15 minutes of a World Cup game on the TV. “Only England games”. There were three other people in there besides me and all of us were talking about the game he wouldn’t let us watch. Very odd stance to take and just petty.

Nice pub and good service. Good menu options. Unfortunately the food didn’t meet our expectations, the fish was soggy, the burger over cooked and the beef of the roast was chewy.

Nice pub serving a wide variety of larger and other drinks. Good atmosphere in the evenings ideal for a drink with friends, book ahead as can get busy especially if in a large group.

Busy locals boozer. Yes it is locals as this may be on Lambs Conduit Street but it's off the beaten track. Lots of staff from the hospital and never a rude customer encountered. People politely move away from the bar to let you order. It's cramped inside but goes back into a little snug to the right of the bar and down at the end it goes into another area to drink in. Cozy and friendly and they do nice snacks. Just one of several excellent pubs along this street in quite close proximity. Loads of interesting old photographs on the walls.

Great pub. One of my favourites.. They have a good selection of beers and ales.. The staff are very friendly and helpful.. Definitely worth a look if you are in the area. 👍👍

A classic traditional Victorian boozer. The chicken and the vegetarian Sunday roast were both hearty belly fillers. There's a 10% discount if you show a receipt from the Foundling Museum, the other side of the park.

A decent Young's pub. Sunday roast was a tad underwhelming, although the pork was great and really well flavoured. If you're stuck for somewhere to go in the area, you'll be fine here, although not a wow. Staff were super nice and friendly and food was quick.

Called in for a pint of Youngs Bitter. Fantastic range & choice of Ales. Great to visit a pub I used to frequent 30+ years ago...Still love it! Superb traditional atmosphere. Menu is interesting, but we weren't hungry. The beet was excellent.

Good pub, some of the staff didn’t want to be there, but it was a super busy night, so that’s okay. It’s easy to miss a seat at peak hours, and standing space was a little cramped, but I don’t think I’d been in a pub that busy for a while. Also - it’s such a shame that fantastic early record player is tucked away next to the toilets. It’s a piece of history, and it deserves some love.

One of my favourite pubs in Central London! We had a lovely time, the food was great and great selection of beers. Most of all we loved the atmosphere, and shout out to the Spanish waitress, she was amazing! She accomodated all our requests and took great care of us. Will come back soon!

Brilliant Sunday roast with great service. Complete with an offer of a gravy top up halfway through our meal. Fantastic drinks selection including a very well poured Guinness. Thanks

This is the most gorgeous, cozy, traditional pub. My friends and I sat in the snug all day, eating delicious lunches, drinking their array of drinks (including mulled wine at Christmas) and chatting. The staff were so friendly, accommodating and relaxed. Loved it!

I really enjoyed my time at this pub. It has a real Victorian vibe! The staff was kind and service efficient. The no music policy makes it easier and more pleasant to talk to each other compared to other pubs, so that was a plus!

DELICIOUS Sunday lunch at The Lamb! I had the roast lamb which chef Nat had slow cooked for 24 hrs before roasting so it was gorgeous and tender, with yummy sides a plenty! Highly recommend this for a lunch with friends. The pub is stunning with original features, the guys who run it were SO friendly and welcoming, and the food was awesome!

Our family, a party of eight, enjoyed a delightful Sunday roast at The Lamb. We chose this pub to celebrate the marriage of our American daughter to her British partner and also to honor my late parents, who frequented The Lamb while studying in London in the early 1960’s. What a special evening we had while enjoying starters, drinks, mains and desserts. Our food service was timely; the staff was very attentive. Our large, quiet booth was perfect for sharing stories from both countries. I told the tale of how the famous actor, Peter O’Toole, once pinched my mother’s derrière in The Lamb!! Thank you for making this glorious occasion even more memorable!

Loved it! The waitress, Irene, was incredibly attentive and friendly, and she provided excellent recommendations. In addition, she told us some stories about famous writers that used to go there, like Sylvia Plath. Also, the atmosphere was cozy, and the service amazing. I highly recommend visiting this pub for a memorable experience!

Have walked by for years and popped in for a cheeky pint on a Friday night and saw they did Sunday Roast booked for 4:30. Wish I'd booked earlier as they sell out. But I can see why. Lovely meal with a nice few pints. What else could you want on a Sunday afternoon.

One of the best pubs in London, steeped in history, in a beautiful location. We are always greeted with the warmest of welcomes by the fantastic staff. The drink selection is a fine offering, with 4 (I think) cask handpumps. We've yet to try the food but will be back to sample the menu soon!

Popped in before dinner for a drink, what an utterly beautiful old pub. If you like proper Victorian pub interiors you'll love this one, its reputation is well-deserved. A true gem!

This is a truly wonderful and unique pub steeped with 300 years of history. I hired The Empire room for a party as the space was so beautiful. Will and his colleagues were exceptionally helpful during the process of booking, organising the room, playing music and ensuring there was a bar person. A big part of me wants to keep this a place a hidden gem that few people know about. Enjoy every minute of it if you book the space. All of my friends loved it.

Great pub, great pint. Very comfortable chairs outside.

A pleasant enough pub for a quiet drink or to meet friends. It has a period Edwardian interior and a very small courtyard garden. I've alway found the staff friendly and courteous. There is an adequate selection of beer and usually a couple of Ales on draft. All this said, there is not much to make it stand out from the several others within 5 minutes walk. I've been visiting here since 2008.

Very friendly staff where were kind and obliging.

Fantastic old-style pub, with authentic original looking interior. Good selection of beers including Young's and friendly service.

Cozy 300 year old pub, with a 100 year old Polyphon music box in the corner. Delicious vegan burger as well.

Youngs London Original...amazing!!! Still the same as I remembered it from years ago, lovely 'oldie worldie' beautiful old pub. And!!! Posh soap in the Gents!

Absolutely lit pub, been more times than I can count. Roasts? Banging Vibe? On point Cool old bar with lil windows? Oh yeah here for it Pub quiz on a Tuesday? Yes #hilarious #funAF Plus the staff are AMAZING! Can't say anything bad about it, I recommend it 100%

This was our first London experience with Indian Cuisine in London as we are visiting. The atmosphere was amazing (totally worth it for even that), but service and food was fantastic as well. Highly recommend.

I love the historic feel if this pub with the "privacy screens" above the bar. Beer great and a nice cheese toasty too.

Solid boozer - great atmosphere and just a great feel to it… not a great craft offering but easily looked past for all the other benefits!!

Every single visit to the pub has been great, good vibes and extremely friendly staff. Did the pub quiz this week and it’s hilarious and a great change from your normal generic pub quiz. Service was great, big thanks to Pat and Aura for making it so great and keeping the drinks topped up!

Lovely local with everything you want (but don’t often get) from a central London pub. Upstairs room with own bar is lovely too, Art Deco style with big sash windows. The bar team/management are wonderful and make the whole place feel familiar and cosy

Great service so friendly and great food. Highly recommend lunch here!

Nice pub to visit for a drink, traditional, and a good range of beers. But, food we had was very average, we had a 'Classic Ploughmans', I think it was called, and it was disappointing, slices of bread, which were quite dry, no cheddar cheese, but another one, a sausage roll (!!), pickles, some salad bits, no tomatoes (!!!), and chicory leaves (!!). Visit for a drink, but be wary of the food. On the plus side, the toilets, although tired and shabby, were extremely clean, and the staff are lovely.

Beautiful Victorian pub with great food. Chips were some of the best I've ever had.

Awesome authentic English Pub, fabulous staff. Pat and Aura were outstanding, so friendly and welcoming!

I booked the Lamb for a small birthday gathering, somewhere guests could eat and mingle without having any stress. The atmosphere in there was great, and service was top notch. Everyone had a great time and the space reserved was exactly what we needed. Would definitely book here again in the future!
