picture of The DrumDrum is the kind of pub people either love or hate. In keeping with some other Wetherspoons in greater London, this is not a hugely female-friendly place, with the atmosphere that accompanies old men and cheap prices. On the other hand, those CAMRA folk on the hunt for real ale will not be disappointed - no less than 8 were available. On our weekend night visit the place was bustling with people, but despite this, there was something lacking in the atmosphere and the place had a slightly depressing feel to it. OK for a couple but there are better nearby.
