From the Wikipedia article
The Daylight Inn is a Grade II listed public house at Station Square, Petts Wood, Orpington, in the London Borough of Bromley. It was built in 1935 for Charrington's Brewery, and designed by their chief architect Sidney Clark and is currently owned by Mitchells & Butlers. The pub was named in honour of William Willett who came up with the idea of Daylight Saving and lived in Petts Wood. Long-standing legal restrictions meant that no other pub could be built within one mile. Until Wetherspoons opened The Sovereign of the Seas, Petts Wood only ever had one public house.
