Great spot for a pint, particularly if you're after something a bit out of the ordinary. Good selection of bottles too - especially like the range from Kernel brewery.

Not eaten there but the food I've seen come out of the kitchen looks pretty decent.

lovely pub and a great final stop if you want to walk the regents canal from the thames end or do a an islington pub crawl as starting point - a bit pricey for food tho it does look good and generally good choices beer wise from all over the UK.

Called in here mid-afternoon so consequently very quiet. Although the pub name is often mentioned by various people I drink with I hadn't realised that the last time I was here was when it was still the Prince Albert [pleased to see the pub clock still has this name on it]. Beers sampled were fine, no Mascha evident. Will make a point of returning one evening when the imaginative but expensive menu is in full swing.

Attractive bright & airy pub with 4 interesting ales on tap - Dark Star Ruby Mild, Hop Head, 'Camden' (not sure of that one) & Triple fff Alton's Pride. Worth more visits.

Visited this pub with friends on Friday 24th June 2011. Backstreet corner pub with two rooms. One room is mainly occupied by diners and has mirrors and old maps on the walls, while the other is much more "pubby" and has plenty of woodpanelling.

Four ales on - Friday’s range included Otley Columb-O, Dark Star Hophead and two others from micros/small regionals. There is no music at the Charles Lamb, but lively conversation, and friendly staff.

The tarpaulins on the outside of the pub provided useful shelter for smokers while it was raining. Food was very good. All in all, a pleasant pub, reasonably priced for the area, with well-kept beer and one I will revisit.
