FULLERS have bought the famous Lamb and Flag pub in Rose Street, Covent Garden. The brewery purchased the three-year lease on the Grade II-listed 17th-century pub from Devonshire Leisure for an undisclosed sum. It is believed to be one of the oldest pubs in the UK and counts Charles Dickens as a former patron.
