A PUB in Belfast city centre has been named among the top 'Insta-Landmarks' in the UK.

A survey found that the Crown Bar on Great Victoria Street was ranked 11th most popular landmark on a social media site.

'Insta-Landmarks' refers to places that have now become landmarks in their own right, thanks to the popularity of the photo-sharing app Instagram.

Compiled by hotel chain Premier Inn, it looked at how many photos were shared of each site and how often there were searched for on Google.

Among the top picks were the Peggy Porschen Café in London and Junkyard Golf, Liverpool with the Crown Bar in Belfast the only venue in Northern Ireland to feature on the list.
