About
The Lamb and Flag in Rose Street, Covent Garden, is one of the oldest pubs in London — Dickens drank here, John Dryden was attacked outside in 1679. The 18th-century timber upper floor and the narrow alley approach are unchanged; Fuller's owns the lease and operates it as a Grade II-listed traditional alehouse.
