Wetherspoons is famous for its reasonably priced food and drink - and all-day opening. But what's it actually like to pop in first thing on a weekday morning? MyLondon reporter Alexandra Bullard went to find out...
If you were to be asked, where is the best place to be on a weekday at 9am, you likely wouldn't choose a pub. Having recently paid a visit to one Wetherspoons chain in Croydon, I can say for definite that it is far from one of the most lively places to be on a Tuesday morning. And I will tell you why.
Wetherspoons has a reputation for serving reliable and cheap meals, with a vast majority offering pints of alcohol as soon as it hits the 9 o'clock mark. So, as most of the world went to work, I popped down to The George in Croydon to grab a spot of breakfast and see what it was like. I had not prepared myself for what was to come.
