One of my favourite pubs in London. A small pub with a big heart. Well chosen ales on draught & in bottles. Brilliant wine and spirit selection should you feel inclined too. Oh and the food is ace!
Marc FrostOctober 2, 2017Great beer selection for a smaller pub thats a little off of the beaten track. Always a good cider or 2, a lager or 2 and a couple great ales - even some pretty good food :)
Pliyo SenpaiMarch 15, 2015I had here one of the besf dinner I ever had since I moved to London. Goat cheese, 4 cheese tart and posset were an explosion of flavours. I'll definetly be back
Rachel MercerJune 10, 2015Difficult to find good seating at times, but definitely come here for lunch or dinner - the food is sublime, as is their beer selection.- Harry RobertsNovember 29, 2014Great pub with good a variety of beers. The service was great, and the scotch egg was delicious!
The best pub in the area. Awesome bar snacks, good beer, lovely atmosphere although it can get busy. Look out for the fantastic maps in the dining room!
LondonistMarch 4, 2012The second best pub in Angel according to our recent poll. The superior sausage roll and preponderance of London maps tempt us into declaring it the best.
- Glenfiddich Mark .February 23, 2012Good selection of not just ale on draft, but also bottled. A wee local with a big heart (and great hand soap in the loos!)
Matteo MucciApril 29, 2013Cozy English pub where you can share your meal with smart couples and group of new friends.- Gen JensonDecember 31, 2015Great craft beer selection, topped off with a packet of bacon fries. Perfect.
Amazing atmosphere and lovely, cosy interior. It's a shame that food is really overpriced though.
LopiteauxOctober 14, 2013Good food and very relaxed atmosphere. The wine list leaves something to be desired though...- The best pub in Angel - and there are a lot of pubs in Angel. Great food, a pleasing selection of maps, good beers and right cosy. Read more
Ask the staff about the guest ales, they really know their stuff and the beer is brilliant
Sunday summer evenings here. Shhh, don't tell too many people please.

A decidedly lovely corner pub in the back streets of Angel, the 170-year-old Charles Lamb is a dainty delight in cream and pastel green. Offers an ever-changing range of ales and quality of wines..
