The Lamb & Flag, Covent Garden: Pub in Westminster, London

Covent Garden is known for evenings out, and The Lamb & Flag suits a different kind of one. It's an outdoor venue, so the night has air in it and the sound has room to carry. Live jazz is the kind of programming you can expect here. It suits people who want the music to lead and the conversation to follow, so go with someone you want to talk to between sets. Plan for the weather. Outdoor nights in London change quickly, and a layer in your bag is never wasted. The crowd tends to value a good sound over a big show. If that sounds like your kind of evening, the live list below will show you what's on. Start with the music you already love, then follow it somewhere new.
