London pubs

[Andy008]

Why are so many London pubs built on corners?

Well it comes to mind that the customer bit where most of the noise is does not adjoin houses like it would if it was in the middle of a terrace.  Also, it usually is a highly visible architectural 'comma', to whatever set of buildings it is setting off - and thus noticeable and equi-distant from all potential punters who might be passing to and fro in turnings.  If it is too tucked away it could be by-passed.  There is ease of delivery to consider too.
