I'm posting this again coz I'm not sure anyone noticed it...anyway, for what it's worth:
Would have to recommend The Ship, which is just around the corner (walk past venue (with venue on your left), turn left)...a bit more HH than the Green Dragon, I would have thought...
Blurb from The Ship's myspace page:
The Ship is a small pub in the middle of Croydon and a true Croydon landmark, having been virtually unchanged for the better part of nearly a century.
A retreat from the usual trendy, fluorescent lit, sticky-floored, chav-infested bars that you'd normally find in Croydonia, The Ship is what you'd call an "alternative" pub, but the nights range from swing through to 80s to punk to classic rock to good, honest heavy metal. Not to mention the frequent live music nights and Battle of the Bands competitions.
Aside from the music, The Ship offers real ales like Hobgoblin, Forty Niner and Brakespear Bitter.

The Ship sounds like the place. It's just a shame that Hedlite will be sunning himself in Cornwall that night - That is, if it's possible to sun oneself at night... ahem. I know, I'll go out and come back in, again.

I think it's fair to say, there's been one or two posts in this thread! :P

Ticket sorted - And I've just booked a nearby hotel with somewhere to dump the Calamity Wagon.
Are we ready for a head count?

Somebody offered to give me a little head, once. Needless to say I ran away as quickly as my legs could carry me. Sounds ghastly - and let's be honest here, cranial transplantation is an untested medical field, at best. Besides, my vast hat collection will all have been a wasted investment if they all drop over my face, obscuring my vision. No thank you, very much!
