The Lamb is a Grade II listed pub at 94 Lamb's Conduit Street, in the London Borough of Camden, London.[1]
The Lamb was built in the 1720s and the pub and the street were named after William Lamb, who repaired the Holborn Conduit, later renamed Lamb's Conduit in his honour, a few metres to the south, 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]
