Lamb & Flag in City of London, Westminster

This is a must do if you want to have a pint and take in the atmosphere of a historic pub while in London. You feel like you took a trip back in time as soon as you walk through the door. The servers were beyond friendly and the beers were delicious.

A lot of people in a very small space

Small and crowded, but they were very accommodating allowing several tasters before selecting your pint. Cute outside area, great atmosphere. Fun alley to get through to find it.

It was a great pub before They removed the blood pudding scotch eggs. Owners have changed Still a nice hangout spot

Nice old pub, very busy but that's Covent Garden.

Great place for a beer. As the pub is quite small due to location the courtyard area is perfect when the weather is decent

A wonderful and historic pub. Excellent food and service. A must stop for pub hopping.

Great atmosphere, beer and location

Fantastic! Checked off the list of our Pub crawl London

Coming from Australia I was looking for a traditional English Pub for dinner and drinks before a show. What an amazing pub,great food, amazing service and incredible atmosphere. Highly recommend!!!

An all time favourite, if you can find it!

The atmosphere was very nice, music and beer; classic English pub. It was also a frequented place by Charles Dickens. It has a history dating back to the 1700s. Definitely spare at least half an hour.

Great experience in what I can only assume was a typical British pub. Had some great beer and good food. It's definitely worth stopping in for a pint or two!

Good pub in covent garden. Small and only worth visiting if you can stand outside. It's a fullers pub, so the beer is decent, but outside of a charming location it's nothing special. Worth popping in.

True London pub experience, great atmosphere and service. Didn’t get the chance to try the food, but we will return.

This is a popular old beer house that will leave a long lasting memory. The fish and chips were delicious, and the Guinness was so good that we each drank two glasses of Guinness. The seats on the first floor were full, so I went to the second floor. The staff on the second floor were very friendly, so I had a drink and left in a very pleasant mood.

Nice staff - lovely lamb bangers and mash.

Tipica taverna inglesa, con una comida exquisita sobretodo de cordero. Genial ubicación muy cerca del Sky Garden y mejor trato del personal. Sobretodo de un camarero colombiano que nos hizo unas geniales sugerencias para la comida.

Really interesting building, quirky and a great spot for a drink, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for food but that could be because I chose badly. I just didn't enjoy it. Their specialty is lamb sausages. The issue is they come with chilli sweet potato mash and it just wasn't very nice. And there wasn't much of it if I had liked it! £20, 3 sausages, inedible mash and bit of watercress greenery. The lamb sausages might have been the specialty but I couldn't taste anything because of the burning chilli mash. I don't think it really represented value for money either.

Le pub se trouve dans un coin de rue à deux pas du célèbre Covent Garden et ses halles couvertes. Nous y sommes allés par hasard, en fonction de notre localisation et des avis qui étaient très bons. Nous avons été installés à l'étage et nous avons choisi un fish and chips ainsi qu'une steak and ale pie. Nous avons chacun pris une boisson et une carafe d'eau nous a été apportée. Les plats étaient bien préparés et très bons. Nous n'avons pas pris de dessert. Les plats ont été servis rapidement. La salle est très joliment décorée, le personnel est accueillant et sympathique. Nous en avons eu pour 50 £ environ, ce qui est un peu plus cher que la moyenne mais bon, nous étions dans un "monument" de Londres, donc l'addition grimpe un peu plus vite, service compris. Allez-y assez tôt car les clients affluent vite et ce, dès 18h. Sinon il est toujours possible de réserver une table. Une adresse typique de Londres.

never go there I've been in London for several days and this is the most racist house. It is basic to intentionally not take orders. This is a house where you clean up the food you are eating. Nevertheless, if you go, beware of the bald man. The food is the same as other places, so just go to a friendly place. Don't ever go I've been in London for decades and it's the best house of racism. It's basic not to take orders on purpose It's a restaurant where you clean up the food you're eating. But if you're going, watch out for bald men The food is the same as other places, so just go somewhere kind,,

Can't speak to the menu though they brown bag crisps which are very nice in my opinion. Beer selection was lovely and although I didn't eat there the food looked good especially the crispy beef & cheddar nuggets. Service is quick and the atmosphere is top notch. Little gem which was good and not too busy by the tourist trap that is covent garden. Worth a visit

My favourite pub in London. Super selection of ales and lagers, served by friendly knowledgeable staff

Excellent welcome. Very warm setting. Excellent fish and chips.

excellent service and a nice environment, the only flaw was the food which did not live up to the name, exorbitant price for the two starters and two main courses taken.

We loved our dinner here! The fish and chips were the best ones we had on our entire UK trip and the pan-roasted salmon was so good as well. The upstairs atmosphere felt very cozy and almost like you really could be sitting next to Charles Dickens.

I will say one of the traditional pubs in the uk. The crowd and atmosphere is amazing. The staff are nice. Services were quick. Went during weekdays so not crowded. If you follow the map from Piccadilly or Tottenham court road then the suggested way is a bit confusing and you will pass by smelly garbage which is behind this bar. Nothing related to when you arrive at the pub. So enjoy the pint time and chit chat with your friends/colleagues their. Thank you!

Lovely old pub tucked away in the side streets , good range of beers

Great little boozer, lovely pint

100% authentic food throughout the center, everything exquisite

No question - for decades! a top address

Fantastic old style English pub with lots of history, great traditional English food and great local beers.

Proper boozer, 'nuff said, again👍

Great fun and fabulous food, much better than pub fare. Try the chicken lunch and you’ll want to come back again, as I did.

After 2 years away it was great to see nothing had changed for our boys' night out. Aug 2024 - same deal, it us still a great boozer. Thank you.

Excellent! If you're looking for an authentic, non-touristy British Pub in the middle of Covent Garden, this is the place for you!

It was the best meal in my trip. I'd like to visit again on my next trip. An older man took the order, he was very nice. On my next visit, I want to enjoy it skillfully and cheerfully in better English. Thanks for the delicious food and kindness.

Loved this pub since the 1980s. Always try to drop in when I'm back in London. Excellent vertical drinking outside in the summer.

True British pub experience not to be missed! But hard to locate, tucked away in an alley, but worth the exploration to find it! Lot of history associated with it too, including Charles Dickens! Try the bangers and mashed! And the true apple cider adult beverage! Worth the try!

Traditional pub, good food and friendly staff. Excellent alternative to tourist traps

Lovely food and great service. It was a very warm day but a nice breeze coming in through the windows.

Great pub which is steeped in history. Good selection of beers & Marmite roast potatoes are delicious ;)

What an awesome place to go! Food was fantastic, beer was great, and the atmosphere was superb! Patrick the manager gave us some history which was a bonus! Definitely go there if you can because it is well worth it!

I found this place when I was desperate for a quick lunch. Now I have a new favorite place in London

Very mediocre food at a very inflated price.

Very friendly staff and a very nice cafe

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the Lamb and Flag twice over 3 days. Once for dinner and once for Sunday roast. Food was delicious and we had outstanding service from Hannah. She was a joy and helped us so much. Definitely recommend this iconic spot. Pork Sunday roast highly recommended. Fish and chips scrumptious.

I went there in mid-July. It was very hot inside because there was no air conditioning. I went without a reservation. We ate on the second floor without waiting and the female server was really friendly. The food wasn't very tasty, but it was okay.

Superb beer, great pub and location

An old favourite, I always try to get to this pub when I'm in London. Tucked away in a tiny street off the beaten track in the Covent Garden area of London, this pub is a gem.

Great historic pub. Food was very good !

Great place with lovely atmosphere

First time visiting this great old school style pub. Came in on a Saturday night for some drinks after a long day and the service was excellent, thankfully managed to get a seat. Wish we had more time for a few more drinks. Will definitely be back.

This place had the history, the beer, and the food. Go early because it’s gets packed after work. My favorite beer was the Fuller’s ESB. I also had the Steak and Ale pie and helped soak up the beer.

It’s a pub. Good location. Average service with barman strenuously avoiding eye contact.

Couldn't visit London without grabbing a beer at an old, classic British pub. The Lamb & Flag is over 400 years old (1623). Traditional classic British pub fair and ale options highlight the menu. On your visit they were out of fish options but the atmosphere more than made up for the limited menu options.

We LOVED The Lamb & Flag! So cozy, cute, so much history, right near Covent Garden! We had the fish and chips, and they were delicious as well as the London Fuller pie, very good as well!

Super nice and traditional pub! Lovely Sunday roast !!!!

A quintessential British pub - try the fish & chips!

Everything a good pub should be. Can’t pin point what about it. But it felt special

Unfortunately we could only have the table for 1 hour. Food was OK, drinks very expensive.

My Fav pub in London.. amazing food, historic, great location, wonderful hospitality. Don’t go… I want it uncrowded when I return!

Great pub with excellent real ale. Didn't eat so cannot comment on food

Went just for a sandwich and drink. Lovely old pub. Food good and drinks were London prices. 😬

Delicious Fuller's beer. Very busy because of tennis and football. :-)

A tradition - every time in visit London I have to have a pint or three here. My favorite.

We had a terrific experience at this pub! Great food; fabulous ambiance; awesome server (Hannah) and an amazing history with the place. Highly recommend!

The Lamb and Flag is a cool vibe. Our waiter was new and definitely not the best but the food was OUTSTANDING and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The place was rocking after dinner, as it was happy hour time 🍻 …….cheers! I would highly recommend.

This was our second Fuller's pub experience on our recent visit to London (the other being Hung Drawn & Quartered). My son and I both had fish & chips, and they were tasty. The historic ambiance of the place is really fun, and the servers were friendly.

It is a very historic and interesting place. We booked in advance as advised. The staff are friendly and helpful. I had the special, Cottage Pie ( See photo). I was not disappointed. The beer was good, and the house got busy. I recommend it.

Bustling little pub hiding away from the busy streets of the West End. The Sunday roast was delicious and washed down by a decent glass of red. Surprisingly good wine list.

The Rump steak was amazing. Great experience for a historic English pup.

Great experience. Good food with a great atmosphere.

Loved this place! Beer and food were excellent. Ordered the Fullers Pie, portion just right and tasted great. UEFA game was on, nice crowd, loved the atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Lovely pub. Even better when the suns out.

Claesic english pub vibes. Foor was good but not superb.

Nice experience and I liked the tiny mouse. Lol

I just popped in for a quick pint. It was lively and friendly and served an excellent pint of golden ale. An excellent Covent Garden stop-off.

Great, thank you, we’ll go back again

A nice pub with a historical atmosphere. Certainly one of the better ones in the area.

Fuimos a probar el sunday roasty y nos gustó mucho … El pub es muy típico y muy agradable y acogedor . El servicio es estupendo y amable.

Dropped into see the oldest pub in Convert Garden/UK/World depends on what site you check, as we were in Convert Gardens. Nice place, 'compact' as you would expect being a very old pub. Bar service was prompt and efficient and very polite. I also found that the price paid was very reasonable c/w other places we have visited in UK.

Undecided where to eat in the West End? Book the Lamb & Flag. Not only is the welcome warm and inviting, the food didn’t disappoint. Wholly recommended 👏

Overcrowded. Not enough staff to serve

Great little pub tucked away near Covent Garden. Lovely little courtyard outside. Staff very friendly and there was very little wait to get served.

Very nice English pub in the heart of Covent Garden. Very nice atmosphere inside and outside. I say outside, because it is common that in the afternoons, people leave the pub with their beers and have a good time talking in the street. The people who serve are very friendly and have a wide variety of products.

My favorite restaurant in London. No question about it.

Excellent fish & chips, thin, crunchy and light breading. The pub has a wonderful atmosphere, it is in the center but despite this it is quite "hidden" so it is not invaded by the usual crowds of tourists. Advised

(Reviewing as a tourist) One of the oldest pub in Covent Garden, it was amazing. We stopped for 3 great beers and a really good time.

London Pride A1. Very good staff Great atmosphere.

Traditional British. Very good service

Fabulous place, the food was superb, service was fantastic. The staff were really great, nothing was too much trouble.would highly recommend. The Sunday lunch was brilliant.

Very nice pub, beer and fish and chips

Fish and chips are excellent. Perfectly done. Also, try the signature g&t!

This is a classic old English pub. The last time I visited this pub was probably 25 years ago and I am glad to say it hasn't changed a bit. Standing outside is par for the course and it was great, despite the occasional drizzle.

The scotch eggs were so delicious!! Even though it took some time to read the English menu, the staff were very friendly and helpful. This pub has a great atmosphere, and you can enjoy your meal comfortably seated on the second floor. I was so full that I couldn't get to dessert, but it looked delicious.

An atmosphere that can’t be missed

Class pub packed with character and atmosphere. Great range of ales on tap at a good price for the location. Definitely worth an hour or two of anyone's time - don't think it's changed much since Dickens visited.

A lovely little boozer! Tucked away with a good atmosphere. Didn’t try any food on this occasion. Only issue had was the smell of the drain outside. Recommend pub

Great pub with even better staff, I don't have a bad thing to say about it.
