He can't be King Charles as this is a breed of spaniel. Otherwise, the Plant Talker's Arms perhaps?
If not:
Hung Drawn & Quartered
The Boleyn Tavern
Ye Olde Axe

bit careless really.
Hounslow the borough I live in has lost 42% and I don't think anybody local is that bothered. Mostly pubs that no-one cares about. The Magpie and Crown has had a compulsory purchase order served on it as they want to demolish and rebuild the High St. That one will be missed if it goes.
Waltham Forest's losses have hardly bothered me. The Walthamstow ones are largely on the East side of town apart from some pubco owned suburban barns. Chingford Hatch is a sad case as the one remaining pub even failed as an Enterprise managed house (no surprise for me). The percentage lost in Chingford must be higher than the 44% quoted and I would guarantee is higher in Leyton.
This place http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/19963/ will be empty then.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
When I was a student a regular event was a pub crawl with straws. I think the theory was that drinking beer through a straw got you pissed faster, though when you're 19 it doesn't take very long at the best of times. It being the late seventies the beer in most London pubs was highly carbonated keg, which outgassed in your mouth when sucked up through a straw: an odd sensation to say the least.
