In England it is not difficult to find a place where you can drink a pint of beer. While there is no shortage of alcoholic beverages, the range of pub names is narrower. There are exactly five hundred and fourteen mountains in the country and in the whole of Great Britain that bear the same nickname. but why?
There are hundreds of pubs in the UK under the Red Lion name. And there are more than two dozen places with this name in London alone, according to the latest Google data. To find out why, we need to delve a little into British history.
In 1603, the sixth Scots. James inherited the throne and became King of England under the name James I. The only problem was that he didn’t like England because his mother, Mary Queen of Scots, spent over eighteen years in captivity before she was finally beheaded. He was accused of plotting to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I. So when James came to the throne, he ordered the Red Lion of Scotland to be displayed on all important buildings.
The rule also applies to pubs.
James’ goal was to remind every Englishman that they were serving the King of Scotland, no matter how many times they came for a drink.
A few years ago, there were a total of over six hundred Red Lion pubs across the country, but there are also nearly five hundred places called Crown. There are over four hundred places under the Royal Oak name, and nearly three hundred under the White Hart name.
