Visited this pub several times, one of the older and smaller Wetherspoons. Very local and relaxed atmosphere. Service is friendly, not the largest selection of beers, and the beers are most times in a good condition. Food is traditionel Wetherspoon menu. If you are in the area it can be worth a visit..

The Drum’s a spoonies located just a minute away from the King WIlliam IV. The place has a run-down vibe. On my visit there were 9 cask beers on offer. Interestingly, they had a number of selections from London Fields available. Clearly the management has a bit more interest in beer than most other spoons branches. The service is professional, the prices cheap. Overall, it’s worth checking out if you’re in the area to visit the King William IV.

A quite early Wetherspoons and, unusually, one which was a pub in its previous life so it has a more, er pubby, atmosphere than many. 10 hanpumps, although there are generally on 6-8 in use. A couple are reserved for the usual Spoons regulars and one or two for ciders. The rest vary, often including a Weltons beer. I generally manage to pick up a scoop or two. A Good Beer Guide regular, Locale accredited and just around the corner from the King William IV, so worth a quick look.

The Drum was one of the first-ever Wetherspoon pubs, and was converted from a bar which had an eye-catching display of drums hanging from the ceiling. Nice, quiet and friendly place with the standard Weterspoon food meny i.e. a great place for a decent breakfast and the first beer of the day. 4-5 cask ales and a few ciders on cask at very reasonable prices in addition to the regularly mainstream lagers. No tourists, mainly locals means that this is a place to experience the real local London pub.
