A pub named the Robin Hood existed at one of London's most fashionable addresses, Charles II Street, often called simply Charles Street, by 1762 and at least until 1812. Presumably it lent its name to the adjacent Robin Hood Yard (St James's Square).

The pub, which figures occasionally in the records of the Old Bailey, was the venue for one or more meetings of the Freemasons of St. Andrew's Lodge in 1789.[1] Template:PlaceNamesItemQuery
