...good old-fashioned pub...
	LAMB	LONDON WC1N 3LZ	92 Lamb's Conduit St.
	There may be a lamb on the sign, but the pub and the street were named after philanthropist William Lamb. In 1577, he improved the conduit that brought fresh water to the people of area. The pub was built in the 1720's but was "improved" in Victorian times and much of the original structure was lost. What remains is a fine Victorian pub. The exterior is fairly typical with green tiled walls. Inside, above the U-shaped counter, are rare snob screens. These small pivoting panels of etched glass were positioned at head height to conceal drinkers identity.	The pub would have originally been divided into several small bar areas, each with it's own access to the counter. Dark wood, leather sofas, smoke-brown walls, sepia photographs and Victorian artefacts provide a bygone atmosphere. A Polyphone, a kind of Victorian juke box , occupies one corner. By all accounts it still works. At the rear of the pub is a small covered patio. The service is friendly and the Young's beers are invariably in top condition. There's a good variety of meals at reasonable prices. Wheelchair access is to the bar only. A small fuction room is available for private hire.
