Pubs

The rooms worth crossing London for: the interiors CAMRA lists, the last galleried coaching inn, the pubs where something documented happened, and the ones that do one thing better than anyone. Filter by kind, or by what's open now.

The Lamb

Snob screens on a U-shaped bar, a working polyphon, and no music that anybody chose.

Historic interior

The snob screens are the thing: movable etched-glass panels on four thin iron columns with palmette capitals, mounted round a U-shaped bar so that a drinker could see the barman and not the company. Around them is one room with fixed seating against the walls, sepia music-hall prints, and a polyphon that still works.

Be a little careful with the age. A pub is first mentioned here in 1731 and the front is Georgian under Edwardian green faience, but Historic England notes that the partitions splitting the front into two bars came out in a 1958 refit, the lobby partitions went in then, and while some snob screens are original others belong to that restoration. There is a parish boundary marker of 1831 on the corner.

A small garden at the back with mirrors on the walls, and an upstairs room for eating in. No piped music at all.
