Name for a Bitter

[jezmez68]

Hi there and greetings to fellow homebrewers in the UK!

I am planning on making an strong bitter in the future and wanted to give it a solid British name. It's going to be made with Marris Otter as well as dark crystal malts. I'll be using 2 oz of Willamette hops for the recipe (as I ordered a half pound, and 6 oz are going to be used in my Red Rooster ale). I've only been to London once on a trip from Germany for a week, but I thought you all might have some suggestions. Planning on using Wyeast London ESB yeast for this one.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Good names all around. Congestion Charge sounds compelling. What is that a reference to?

It's the charge levied by local government ie Transport for London, to enter central London via car, £8 per day currently :!:
Used to discourage motorists from entering the centre of the capital other cities are considering following suit :twisted:

If you want to drive your car through London you have to pay a (£8) charge to do so . . . . In addition to a Road Fund Licence . . . and Fuel Duty . . .and Parking Fees . . .. It is designed to cut down on the cars going into /through London . . . by encouraging people to use public transport . . . but 80% of people living/working in London already use public transport
