About Royal Standard
Traditional pub with outside tables, for live music and comedy nights, free WiFi and a simple menu.
This is a small, friendly traditional back-street pub. Four distinct small drinking areas each have their own character, and there are interesting features in the areas at the back of the pub, including wood panelling and a Fullers brewery mirror. In the front bar there is a selection of bottles used as candle holders. The garden area is across the road underneath the flyover. The pub was sold to Admiral Taverns in June 2024, and the external Fullers signage has now been removed - although the mirror still remains, as do the Fuller's beers.

The best pub in Croydon without a doubt! Ema has given me the best service I could ask for. Five stars for a five star pub!

Croydon's best-kept secret. Emma and her staff make this traditional Victorian street-corner boozer a hugely welcoming place to come. The front bar is tailor-made for conversation but there's a few nooks and crannies if you just fancy a quiet drink. The beer garden may be under the flyover but it's well-maintained and comes into its own in the summer. The best pint of London Pride for many miles and high-quality Italian-style pub grub too. Go on, you know you want to.

A little hidden gem. Spotlessly clean for a pub. Little touches on the ladies loo make it homely. Good food at great prices. Friendly staff!
