Half a pint of mild and bitter

I have uncovered the key to naming an English pub.

If you wake up one morning and decide to move to London to open a pub, here is an easy primer. Simply choose from one of four templates.

(1) The [famous English person]: Although The Prince Edward, The Queen Elizabeth, The Shakespeare and The Victoria are taken, England is full of famous people and you will doubtless find someone else.

(2) The [x] and [y]: x and y can be anything, but are most often animals. For example, The Rat and Parrot, and The Fox and Hound are well respected. Sometimes plants and low-lifes can be used as well (The Slug and the Lettuce).

(3) The [unique animal]: If you cannot come up with two inspiring animals to satisfy the above condition, you can pick one, but you must have an adjective to describe it. The Black Lion and The Elusive Camel attract many visitors, as does The Dun Cow.

(4) [Body parts]: If all else fails, someone's arms or head will suffice. You only have to look at The King's Arms, The King's Head, Churchill Arms or The Duke's Head to see the truth of this statement.
