London pub help

North Lower Neil

A couple of us are arranging a stag do in London, and one night is going to hopefully be a fancy dress pub crawl.

The two ideas are either to have everyone dressed as a fox hunt, complete with hobby horses, and the groom as a fox, or, if we're not able to get those costumes (riding hats etc), matadors with the grom as a bull.

We're therefore hoping to find pubs in central London with connected names - The Fox and Hounds, THe Huntsman's Arms, or The Bull, etc etc.

The ones with Fox etc in the title are a bit easier to Google, but we're hoping to get as many as possible - they can be slightly tenous (THe Red Barn, the Soandso Tails, the Bushy Hair, The Something and Horn) - so that we can make it into a decent workable pub crawl.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Cheers.

P.S. I know this may end up with a lot of puns, but can you also come up with some suggestions too!!

The Intrepid Fox, just off of Shaftesbury Avenue, near Tottenham Court Road tube, does live music as well.

The five Blue posts in and around Soho are so named because they (the blue posts that is) marked the edge of the hunting land in district.

So that's a few for you in a small area.

Cheers - Saga,very helpful and can find the obvious ones, but also looking for those we might not come up with! Think everyone's brains working differently we'll forget some/not know about some like Henry's.

Hall and Woodhouse brew Firkin Fox ale. Some research would find a pub that serves it.
