It was at 8-10 Cheapside, i.e. at the end near St Paul's Cathedral. The owner in 1664 was a Humphrey Grosvenor. Apparently more information can be found in "Old Cheapside and Poultry" by Kenneth Rogers, 1931.

At the year of the Restoration...

"In the Lord Mayor's show of the same year, a pageant was placed near the Nag's Head tavern, in Cheapside, 'like a wood, in the vacant part thereof several persons in the habit of woodmen and wood-nymphs disport themselves, dancing about the Royal Oak;' while the rural god Sylvanus indulged in a long and laudatory speech in honour of the celebrated tree."

Glyn notes the Nag's Head "was at 8-10 Cheapside, i.e. at the end near St Paul's Cathedral" where it goes off the upper-right of this 1746 map, west of the Saddler's Hall. which was also totally descroyed by the Great Fire in 1666.
