Croydon: The 'Porter and Sorter'
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 5 Mar 2010
Contrary to appearances, this is not an old pub, having been established only about twenty years ago in an obscure location behind East Croydon station. As the name suggests, it is used by railwaymen and postal workers. I have heard, though cannot confirm from personal experience, that Brag and Poker are regularly played here.
