Lamb & Flag, Covent Garden, WC2

A small Dickensian ale house with a wonderful authentic interior.There is seating to the rear of the bar ,and a large upstairs area with it's own small bar which is often not that busy.The Lamb and Flag really comes alive when the weather is good,as you can drink outside in court yard .This is one of the best outdoor vertical drinking spots in London,and the bar service is excellent when there is a large crowd,so no long wait to get served.Courage Best,Youngs Special and Adnams Bitter nothing special ,but the beers selection is saved by Harvey's Best which was spot on ,great quaff.Dont forget to take a look inside ,original features abound.

tiny pub but worth a visit, Always seems theres a queue to grab one of the seats by the fire! Be prepared to drink your ale in the street, it does get very busy! Truly exceptional Victorian pub.

Also known as 'the bucket of blood' due to the bareknuckle fights that used to be held here, this is a fantastic two storey pub, that can be a bit difficult to find if you don't know where you're going. Very popular.
