The Lamb & Flag has been a pub since 1566. It is owned by St John's College. Covid lock downs 2020 - 2021 had a devastating affect on the footfall on the pub and as a result it ceased trading 31st January 2021. Thankfully a community group called the Inkling Group took out a long term lease which means it's door a once more open to the public.
The Oxford Playhouse and St Giles Church were included in an endowment to the college by it's founder Thomas White. Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Maggie Smith, and John Gielgud all performed at the Oxford Playhouse. Today it is home to the Oxford University Dramatic Society.
