It’s yo average pub. We’ve never had an issue with the wait staff and we’ve had one waitress multiple times who has been a sweet little peach! Seriously We’ve only dined here once but I was pretty impressed with what we got. Great location as well.

Nope nope nope nope Rude staff About 130pm on Monday 9th Nov 2015, went upstairs for more seating since there were no indication if we should be waiting to be seated or seat by ourselves. We went upstairs, one more table left(for 4 ppl) but there was one waiter that’s going around kinda busy. So we asked if we can have the table, he looked at us then not replying us then he ignored us as he started talking to another waiter. Then we asked again, he’s like«I’m busy I’m busy, can’t you see» This is the rudest waitress I’ve seen. The only answer he could give us was yes or no. We went away. Rude staff bad rating.

Had some pints and cocktails upstairs. Nice place. Upstairs is not as loud as down. Good beer selection.

Busy and loud. I spent my time saying ‘I can’t hear you’ or just sitting in silence. I also sat at a table with a stranger whilst my friends where on another table because it was so cramped. Not much to say about drinks. Your standard bar. Maybe I’m snobby for not wanting to be in the touristy areas of London, but if you go just 1 minute further down the road on the right there a few puns which are lot quieter and sell the same drink.

Ok pub with large outside area(for central London). Expensive drinks! Probably one to remember for the Summer so can be outside without being on a pavement next to a road.

Poor Samey range of drinks, the only redeeming feature is it does have a good size outdoor area for the summer and it’s cheap. Otherwise there are much better choices in the immediate vicinity

One of the better traditional style pubs in the area. Outstanding pint lists and a great location…

Tiny bar with a decent sized outside area that attracts a mixed clientele. Drink selection wasn’t the best but the guys behind the bar were friendly enough — unfortunately in St Christophers Place there is such a huge choice of venues, the ‘ok-ness’ of the L&F means that it’s fairly low down the list in terms of places I’d return to visit, but as a standard, run of the mill boozer, there is little to complain about, it could all just be better.

Sneak down an alley off of Oxford Street and enter St. Christopher’s Place. It’s a pleasant shopping area including an outside court and plenty of people watching. My advice, before coming in here, is to repeat three times… «I love potatoes» Then, when greeted by a bewildering selection of chips, mash, jacket, etc… You can’t go wrong! After all, remember, you love potatoes!

Very nice pub to have lunch. We had excellent roast beef on an early Subday afternoon. Downstairs were crowded but upstairs had plenty of room and quiet athmosphere.

Very standard Oxford streety-pub. Brewery owned, and CAMRA friendly — they did have some sort of ale festival on and 10% off and all of that, but really only a place to go if you’re out on the town and gagging for a drink. Do not, repeat, do not go out of your way for this place. They run out of beer on a fairly regular basis. They’re nice, though, and do decent food. And eventually you’ll be tired of shopping or meeting someone shopping, and it’s on St. Christopher’s place, so pop in then.

Fairly bog-standard central London brewery-owned pub. Not much character but a nice pub that has all the usual stuff you’d expect. Fine if you are right next to it and gasping for a drink but venture a little down the road and there are many nice, more characterful, less-chainey pubs.

What can I say. I met friends here last night for a drink, and got the worse service i have experienced in London after living here for eleven years. I stood at the bar for over 20 minutes while all around got served, and when I dared complain the barman said he would get to me when he could and then served the guy next to me! My friend, who’s birthday it happened to be, then asked why he served that guy and we were informed that it was only a guiness, and wouldn’t take him a minute to serve. I am still wondering how he used his powers of telepathy to know what we wanted to drink… which incidentally was only two pints, and I was paying with cash(not the dreaded cash machine, that also seemed to take forever). We were then asked if we wanted to sit down and talk about it, and if not what was it that we wanted. To which my friend replied ‘to be served’. We were still given the ‘when I get to you’ treatment, so left for another establishment. Would recommend buying cans from the off licence and sitting in the park before frequenting this place…

I went here on recommendation from my British friend and I was super pleased! Seemed to be a really authentic British pub. I ordered a Guinness(boring, I know) and some tomato soup and just enjoyed hanging out. I’d love to go back and order some more of the food… though English food isn’t exactly stellar in general :) This pub is located in a lovely neighborhood which is so nice to walk around and take pictures of. Very friendly staff.

This is one of the two pubs buried in the splendor that is St. Christopher’s Place. This is the more central one as the other is on the northern end of James Street and Wigmore. The pub itself isn’t very big, but has several booths and places to sit. What makes this big is the outside court yard and additional tables along James Street. They have your typical pub fare and do a pretty good job of it. The burgers are legit and have a good serving of onions cooked in, so daters or people without toothbrushes in their back pocket beware!

I love this charming little place. It is in such a perfect location right next to Oxford Street and Bond Street Station. It is located in St. Christopher’s place and there are lots of restaurants nearby, but if you just want a pint, then this place is perfect. It always has a lively after-work crowd and people like to mingle outside in the courtyard. In the summer bands sometimes play out there. It gets a good mix of people so it is a little more fun than just your average pub.

There are some really good pubs around this way. Just walk two of three streets down, go around the corner, places like the Pontefract Castle — much nicer. Not that The Lamb is terrible, it’s not but I don’t really see great arguments for bothering with this one. Sure, it’s in quite a good location, if you have been on Oxford Street shopping or in Selfridges wishing you were shopping. There is a pretty comprehensive food menu here, pie, fish and chips plus quite a few thoughtful sort of snack type offerings available for the more unconventionally timed hunger pangs. Also quite bizarrely, low fat frozen yogurt is a desert option. The crowd are pretty mixed so I guess they are catering for everything but they just don’t seem to have got much an edge in a fiercely competitive local area.
