Top 10
1. Red Lion - unsurprising given it's popularity as a name across the UK
2. The Crown - for pubs that supported king, or queen, and country
3. Royal Oak - another monarchy related moniker, often associated with oaks used to build the royal fleet
4. White Hart - a royal crest
5. The Swan - urban myth says that they can break your arm, but not when you're safe in a pub named after one
6. The Plough - self explanatory, and common in rural areas
7. The Bell - frequently used for pubs near stations from the time when a bell used to ring to signify a train was leaving the station
8. Rose & Crown - often a nod to one of two rival branches of the royal house of Plantagenet: a red rose for the house of Lancaster or a white rose for the house of York. Later a red and white rose united for Henry Tudor.
9. Queens Head - in honour of one of the country's many illustrious queens
10. Railway Tavern - often found next to the tracks, hopefully on the right side of them...
