Let me start this review by saying that The Lamb is a great pub because it serves Young's cask beers. This is something that a visitor to England quickly learns to appreciate after realizing that most pubs only offer Carlsberg, Carlings, Guiness and a dull, luke warm bitter. When I stepped inside I could immediately sense the quality of the place. It felt like most, but not all, guests were there for the same reason. At the time of my visit they were only serving Winter Warmer, Special, Bitter, and Bombardier (see elswhere on the BA site for the recent changes Young's have been through). Having said all these good things about the beer I don't think the place itself is all that special. I was there a Friday afternoon, and 90% of the guests were men in suits most likely working in the neighborhood. But it's far from the garage feeling many British pubs seem to have these days, and it's indeed an oasis in the Carlsberg desert.
