Default Things Named After The Current Queen

I do not know much about the present Queen. I know she was born in Mayfair because I have seen the building. I was wondering how many things in England have been named after that woman, and I was surprised at how many it was. Is it general obsequiousness that causes this? They do the same thing in North Korea.
