The Lamb, Bloomsbury

The Lamb

The Lamb on Lamb's Conduit Street is a Grade II listed pub at 94 Lamb's Conduit Street, Bloomsbury, London.^[1]

The Lamb was built in the 1720s and the pub and the street were named after William Lamb, who had erected a water conduit along the street in 1577. The Lamb was refurbished in the Victorian era and is one of the few remaining pubs with 'snob screens' which allowed the well-to-do drinker not to see the bar staff, and vice versa.^[2]

Charles Dickens lived locally and is reputed to have frequented The Lamb. Other writers associated with the pub include Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. Hughes, who was a regular at the pub, arranged to meet Plath there in the early days of their relationship.^[3]
