Randomness Guide to London Menu

Good Beer Guide pub in Croydon. It's a Wetherspoons, so pretty cheap. They have Kopparberg Swedish cider as well as all the real beers.

The downstairs is fairly open, with a raised area containing bookshelves (with real books!). There are a few sofas at the front. The upstairs has more sofas, but isn't always open, and closes early when it is.

Daytimes, the clientele are generally your standard daytime drinkers; old men nursing a pint per hour before gently staggering off home in the early evening. In the evenings, you do get a few groups of lager drinkers, but not the overly rowdy kind. Glasses don't get cleared very often, and pre-smoking-ban the floor tended to end up covered in cigarette ends. This might sound somewhat negative, but overall it's pretty good here if you know what to expect.

Apparently there's a beer garden, but I've never noticed it. --Kake
