The Lamb & Flag pub has been operating since at least 1566, situated just south of St John’s college.
In 1613 the college moved the pub to its current site. Though owned by the college, this new site was somewhat further away from the college’s main buildings.
Since the pub’s move, construction of the Sir Thomas White and Kendrew Quadrangles in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries has led to the pub being once again close to St John’s activities.
St John’s took over the management of the pub in 1997, and now uses all pub profits to fund scholarships for graduate students.
