The Lamb & Flag is the oldest pub in Covent Garden, a truly traditional British pub with low beams, wooden panelling and bare pine floors. Its smoke filled bar becomes extremely busy, but there is a restaurant and another bar upstairs which deals quite well with the overflow. It caters especially for whisky lovers. Bar food and a selection of beers are also served. They also have a live Jazz band every Sunday between 7.30pm and 10.30pm. Outside seating is provided in the garden.

Old-school boozer
The Lamb & Flag is a good, traditional pub located in a side street in Covent Garden. However, being slightly off the beaten track doesn't mean that it's quiet - it's usually full both at lunchtimes and evenings, and in warmer weather drinkers spill out on to the pavement outside. Inside, it's an old-school boozer, with a reasonable range of beer and a somewhat stodgy food menu.

One of my top 5. Always take friends who are not necessarily familiar with the concept of a good, old fashioned London boozer there. No-nonsense staff, good beer, I'm told the food is good too, beautiful building inside and out. The gents tend to be ..."pungent" but I suppose it all adds to the genuine "pubbiness" of it. I enjoyed the thick haze of smoke that used to veil the down stairs bar but not to everyone's taste I'm sure. Remember to check for seats upstairs!

The lamb was a little gem in covent garden tucked away down a little road. The pub looks like a normal grotty pub but what made it special was the pub landlord who was friendly and chatty even though the pub was packed full of people inside and outside of it. And on top of that the security guard Morris was a doll as well which is very unusual for security in london establishments!
My friend got an wanted a white ale, so got an indian one as recommended by the landlord. We stood outside in the little street as the weather for once was nice.
The vibe was nice and the staff were very friendly. Next time i will try to get there when its not a thursday to get a table and try out the food.

Covent Garden Pub
The Lamb & Flag is a small wooden-fronted pub hidden away in Covent Garden. At over 300 years old, it is the oldest pub in the area. It was once known as the 'Bucket of Blood' due to the bare-knuckle fights that used to be held there.
This is a very traditional British pub, with its wooden panelling, low beams and bare wooden floors. At the rear of the pub is an inviting fireplace surrounded by wooden settles.
Serving up a decent selection of real ale for the beer lovers out there, the Lamb & Flag can get pretty crammed at times. You may have more luck heading up the creaky old stairs to the upstairs bar and restaurant area to enjoy your drink.
In the summer, the courtyard outside the pub is roped-off creating a large paved area for the after-work crowd to congregate with a cold pint or two.

Higgledypiggledy little place
This is a non-poncy bar in the middle of Covent Garden. Still gets very busy on Thursday and Fridays though when everyone likes to loiter outside on the cobbles. It is on a lovely little street that links Garrick Street to Long Acre and has a lot of character. My colleague tells me they too good pub grub too. Word of warning - don't attempt to get through the ginnel if you're very tall (or fat)!
