If you're interested in the methodology I used to determine the top 10 pub names in London, I've explained it in this video: https://youtu.be/hUEmlWrelbM
Anyone who has spent enough time in London pubs will have seen their fair share of Red Lions and Royal Oaks... but which are the most common pub names in London (specifically, Greater London)...? Is it just the same as the rest of the UK?
Of course I turned this into an excuse for a pub crawl! I found an example of each of the five most common pub names in London, and talk a bit about each pub, and more generally about where the name comes from.
