Green Dragon Croydon

You'll find the Green Dragon right in the thick of it on Croydon High Street—can't miss the place when you're heading towards the town centre. It's got that reliable pub energy where you're just as welcome nursing a pint on your own as you are with a big group, and the kitchen's actually putting in effort rather than just doing basics. The crowd here skews genuinely mixed: office workers, regulars who've been coming for years, people meeting mates before heading out. It's the kind of place that works just as well for a Wednesday afternoon as it does for a Friday night.
