There were (at least) three public houses named the Robin Hood in Holborn: one in [[Robin Hood (Leather Lane, Holborn)|Leather Lane]], one in [[Robin Hood (Holborn)|the now lost Robin Hood Court]], and that at [[Robin Hood (High Holborn)|281 High Holborn]]. The full record also mentions the "Monarch dining-rooms, 128, Holborn Hill", and on that somewhat tenuous ground I vote for the Robin Hood on High Holborn.

IRHB comments

There were (at least) three public houses named the Robin Hood in Holborn: one in Leather Lane, one in the now lost Robin Hood Court, and that at 281 High Holborn. The full record also mentions the "Monarch dining-rooms, 128, Holborn Hill", and on that somewhat tenuous ground I vote for the Robin Hood on High Holborn.
