In the warmer summer months there is nothing nicer or more relaxing than to sit along side the beautiful Southern Oxford canal and enjoy a drink or a spot of “al fresco” dining at one of our towpath tables whilst watching the boats go by. It's also a great place to hold any functions - from small gatherings to bigger parties.

  • Central
    Pub
    The Lamb & Flag had been operating since at least 1566, situated just south of St John's. In 1613 the college moved the pub to its current site (the old site is today the Dolphin Quadrangle). 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
