Well described below and on CAMRA’s site, this is quite an ornate edifice, with residual etched glass, a mirror in the open air vestibule, fine original mahogany fittings and grand central column (see photo).
Furniture is mixed, me sat a tall hydraulic table; I dared not press the pedal. Customers are young professional types and there’s a theatre upstairs; Neneh Cherry’s Buffalo Stance was blaring out over the gramophone.
There were two unused pumps, then Doom or Landlord at a very steep £2.95 a half, though very good.
This is a decent pub, the best of the four with a frontage on Old Brompton Road, marginally better and more pubby than the Duke of Clarence, almost opposite.

An ornate building with a theatre upstairs. The interior doesn't really match-up but there is enough character to make it decent, with some old interwar features still in situ. Laid out in a funny apex shape with a spur off right, the main bar is light and bright with large glass windows whilst the spur is dark and dingy, not helped by the dark blue paintwork. Four pumps with two ales on, Doom Bar and Sadlers Peaky Blinder, the latter of which was expensive, warm and pump tired (NBSS 2, at a push). A better bet may have been the 18 keg options which had a bit of variation. Family-friendly to the extent of having screaming babies in the main bar with the kind of parents who think they own the pub and that everyone else has to submit to their little darling’s every ear-piercing squawk. Overall it’s probably worth a nose if you're nearby but once was enough for me. 5.5

The Drayton Arms is a decent looking pub.
Once inside there is a single wedged shaped room with the bar facing,there is comfy bench seating and chairs to the front and one tall table and chairs plus a half circular settee in the middle area,the right side has normal tables and chairs.
There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Harvistoun Afterglow which went down very well,the other beers were Sambrooks Junction and St Austell Tribute.
There was a small TV to the right showing tennis and quiet background music was playing.
I quite liked this place.
