Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Wetherspoons (JD Wetherspoon)
It's a Wetherspoons. It's a station pub. You should know what to expect. That said, it is rather better than one might imagine, and usually has a good selection of cask ale too, often with one or two beers from a Sussex brewery, but featuring five festival ales - including my Mauldon's Black Berry Porter (£3.65) - in addition to the standard Greene King IPA, Doom Bar and Abbot from the two banks of six handpumps on this visit. Whilst the transient atmosphere and inevitable peak-hour crowding leave much to be desired, you can usually get a breather out on one of the terraces which overlook Victoria's hustle and bustle from first-floor level.

Dating from 1992, Wetherspoons is a branch of the J. D. Wetherspoon chain and as mentioned, was subject to a refurbishment dating from last year.
Thanks to its eagle’s nest location, you get a commanding view of commuters from the upper terrace, desperately trying to find their platform, given the appalling signage, but otherwise it’s quite smart with no surprises, other than that tables are rather close together making access a little difficult.
A good half of Jaipur was £2.65, served by an efficient barmaid.
This is better than the average ‘spoons, but in an area with a dreadful choice of pubs, this place has the best cask selection outclassed only by Cask, but at best it’s purely functional. Then there's the prices...

Surprisingly large and nicely furnished (very recent – WhatPub says extension and full refurb took place in early 2024) JDW in the upper tier of a classic 80s building, located in the upper concourse and originally opened in 1992. Blue and white tiling, nice Art Deco style lamps along with people watching views via the two outside balconies overlooking the station. There are screens to keep you informed of the train arrivals and departures, always a welcome bonus. Three guest cask on my visit with ELB Cowcatcher a bit fag-end (NBSS 2.5) and close to a fiver. Useful to know it exists and if there’s an excuse to pop in for 15 minutes in future, I likely will. Note that the alcohol licence allows retail sale from 8am and that British Transport police sometimes close the bar when football fans are due through the station. 6.5
