Title
Lamb and Flag Public House
Description
Front elevation of The Lamb and Flag Public House, Rose Street, Covent Garden. A Grade II listed building, with listing number 1265122. The first mention of a pub on this site is in 1772, when it was known as The Coopers Arms. The name changed to The Lamb and Flag in 1833. The building’s brickwork is c1958 and conceals what may be an early eighteenth-century frame of a house, replacing the original one built in 1638. The pub acquired a reputation in the early nineteenth-century for staging bare-knuckle prize fights, earning it the nickname 'The Bucket of Blood,' and the alleyway beside the pub was the scene of an attack on the poet John Dryden in 1679. Writer Charles Dickens frequented the pub in the nineteenth-century.
