Oxford - The Lamb and Flag public house

The Lamb and Flag is a public house on St Giles' and is owned by St John's College; profits fund DPhil student scholarships.

The main part of the pub has been an alehouse since around 1695, and parts of the original building still remain.

Thomas Hardy is thought to have set part of Jude the Obscure in the Lamb and Flag. Graham Greene was so smitten by a barmaid that he compared her to Nefertiti. And Inspector Morse, his sidekick Sgt Lewis and President Bill Clinton have all popped in for a drink.

Beers served here include Betty Stogs, Old Peculier and Spitfire.
