This pub, described as "derelict" in the Mail, was set on fire today at about the same time as the nearby Windmill. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12464631/Devastating-fires-rip-two-derelict-pubs-Croydon.html

My everlasting memory of the Drum and Monkey will be the overpowering stench of piss that assaulted my nostrils as I passed through the entrance. I thought the pub was closed and nearly walked past without trying the front door, but alas curiosity got the better of me.
The interior consists of a pool and dartboard at the front of the pub, a bar on the right hand wall and seating down the left. Standard draught is available from the bar and the only ale option was keg Courage Best. Some low background music was playing and Deal or No Deal was muted on the television. The air was blue and a sign in the bar access hatch said “stand here if you work here, if not f*ck off”.
I’ll not be returning here any time soon.
