So I was right - it is more towards South Croydon. I recognised that bar structure across the road but couldn't think where I'd seen it. Well done sugarbakers.

Are you going to contact the seller and tell them that they are wrong, peakoverload?

Thanks, groom ... interesting that nearby Sutton had a pub/hotel of same name and a sign across the street, but not quite as professionally done.

I have indeed contacted the seller and he was very grateful for the correct information and has revised the listing to reflect what we have found.
