Croydon: The 'Royal Standard'
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 5 Feb 2010
In Croydon, there are two types of public house: (a)the showy ones on the front that aim to be fashionable and sell lots of lager, (b)proper pubs where you can sit down and enjoy a good pint of real ale without having your head blown off by the noise from a juke box. The Royal Standard definitely comes into category (b).
