Cow and Snuffers
The Ely: only because it was in Salisbury road
Frog and Nightgown: On the Old Kent Road, used to have a licence till 3 Am when pubs normally closed at 11 PM
The Moon under water: Leicester Square. (Several Wetherspoon pubs in London have moon references.)
The Half moon: Bow Road East End. roughly half way between two other pubs The full moon and the New moon. (Spoons pub but the other 2 aren't)
The knights Templar: Fleet St
The Beaten Docket: Belfast (Losing betting slip)

I'm sure there are lots more if I could only think of them.
I never noticed that the Half Moon was called that because if the Full Moon and the New Moon. Never thought I would find a fact about one of my locals on this website
