About Lamb's Conduit Street
Georgian street named after William Lamb who built a conduit bringing fresh water to the area in 1577. Now lined with independent fashion boutiques, traditional pubs like The Lamb with original Victorian snob screens, and the Persephone Books shop selling forgotten female authors. The street maintains a neighborhood feel despite Bloomsbury's central location.
Insider Tips
Persephone Books at No. 59 republishes neglected 20th century novels with distinctive grey covers, and it offers free bookmarks made from fabric from the book's period.
