Great! Went to the Thursday blues night and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Good music, good beer, good crowd and friendly service. Nice.

Quite a nice backstreet pub, five minutes or so from east Croydon station.
The interior is quite spacious with ample room for a pool table, dartboard and DJ area. All the seating is arranged around the edges of the room, presumably to make room for the live music, but it does leave the place feeling a bit empty and cold, despite the nice, low beam ceiling. Would imagine this pub is better when it's full and there is some music on. For a quiet pint, I prefer the Builder's Arms, just down the road.
There were two guest ales on tonight. I tried the Tiger, which was fine. Not much other choice though.

A bit hidden away, but only a short walk from East Croydon satation. Fairly basic pub, but obviously makes an effort with an interesting line-up of live music events. Nice pint of Caledonian Ale Lang Syne.

beerlover 666, I would tend to see your point but having met the guvnor of the Glamorgan I would have perhaps gone for corpulent instead of corporate !

A fine, real pub, and a bolt-hole for those who are increasingly fed up with the Glamorgan's pandering to drunken corporate bores. There are usually a couple of real ales available; the pub also has a pleasant beer garden.
