The Lamb is a genial old boozer with lots of Victorian charm - and that's just the locals. This place has been one of the top pubs in London for a long, long time and still it continues to maintain high standards. The beer's good (Young's), the food's pretty decent, it's got some quaint Victorian fixtures and fittings, without it being too olde worlde - it gets the balance just right. The clientele are the genial pub-going type and even the drunks are polite and apologetic, they seem to operate a shift system just to make sure there's always one in. The Lamb is in an easy-to-get-to location, but it's just far enough away from the tourist trails to deter all but the determined and appreciative. Oh, and there's an upstairs function room if you need that kind of thing.
