Covid-19: Oxford's Lamb & Flag pub to close due to pandemic

A historic pub, once frequented by authors JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis and Thomas Hardy, is to close after more than 400 years.

Oxford University's St John's College, which runs the Lamb & Flag in the city centre, said it had suffered because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The pub has been operating on St Giles since 1613, and is due to close on 31 January.

Campaigners said they would oppose any plans to repurpose the building's use.
