About The Charles Lamb

A tiny, perfectly formed Islington pub with exceptional food and a welcoming atmosphere for families with well-behaved older children. The compact space means it's not practical for toddlers or buggies, but primary-age children who can sit and enjoy a proper pub lunch will love the atmosphere. The pies are outstanding.
