There was a 14th century noble's house here with (unusual for the time) a lead roof, hence Leadenhall. Rebuilt as a market after the fire in 1666. The wrought-iron market you see today was as rebuilt again in 1881, modelled on the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle in Milano. The present pub dates from 1780 and was rebuilt with the rest in 1881. Ex-Bass Charrington, then a free house, until Young's bought it in 1985. Grade II* Listed building, like the rest of the market, in maroon and off-white with columns, gilt trims, frosted windows and the Corporation of London shield. Ceramic tiled mural by the entrance featuring Wren looking at the plans for the Monument. On four levels: the ground floor is quite small and standing-only; a small gallery added in the mid-1980s; a top floor for lunches; and a basement bar called Old Tom's (with the same real ales but a slightly more eclectic range of lagers, e.g. Camden, Meantime, Urquell). The ground floor has dark wood panelling,! engraved glass, marble columns, wrought iron spiral staircase to gallery, standing room. On the top floor are lots of pictures including portraits of 19th century Young & Co directors. Old Tom's bar in the basement, opened in 2011, is accessed from a separate door, with original cream & green glazed tiling (dating from when this was the toilets!).

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II*
The star feature here is the magnificent tiled panel from 1889 depicting Sir Christopher Wren, and the tiled walls of the cellar bar.
The Lamb is at the heart of the echoing splendour of Leadenhall Market, rebuilt in 1880-1 to the designs of Horace Jones, architect and surveyor to the City of London. Once bustling with market traders, porters and their customers, the market is now more an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants, but the Lamb Tavern is still a vibrant place to visit. Apart from the architecture, there are several historic features. The external glazing has lots of etched glass including a large corner panel with the words ‘W Pardy Wine and Spirit Merchant’ and door glass naming the former rooms within.
Just inside the right-hand doors is a large tiled panel from the prolific firm of W B Simpson & Son, helpfully dated March 1889. As the inscription says, it shows Sir Christopher Wren in 1671 explaining (for some reason best known to him) his plans for the Monument to those gathered around, including a puzzled lady in a carriage attended by her black servant boy. The cellar bar (Old Tom's Bar) is a warren of spaces under depressed, red-brick jack-arches and is notable for its cream and green tiling. The rest of the fittings and arrangements are modern, including the mezzanine floor.
