The Only Running Footman

The Only Running Footman is a public house in Charles Street, Mayfair which is long famous for its sign, which used to read, in full, I am the only Running Footman. At 24 characters, this was the longest pub name in London until modern pubs were created with fanciful names such as The Ferret and Firkin in the Balloon up the Creek.[1]
