The Lamb Tavern is said to date from 1780 and was certainly in existence in 1806. During coaching days travellers would take bed and breakfast and respite from their journey before booking ocean passage with shipping companies in Leadenhall Street . During this century The Lamb has been a hospitable place to eat, drink and find sanctuary while shopping, visiting or trading in Leadenhall, or for those city professionals (particularly those in the insurance markets) lunching and networking with colleagues and clients. A Young's managed pub since 1985 the Lamb Tavern remains today an oasis in the heart of the City.

The Lamb has also had many famous visitors in more modern times including HRH The Prince of Wales and various stars from stage and screen such Sir Richard Attenborough, Robert Mitchum, Tom Sellick, and Jack Warner. John Wayne famously smashed up the bar in the film Brannigans, Lara Croft Sped through the market in Tomb Raider and Harry Potter has been filmed walking through our doors!
