'''The Drayton Court''' was a hotel, located at 2 The Avenue, [[Ealing]], [[London]]. Its ground-floor pub was a popular gathering place for residents of the adjacent [[Perivale]].
'''The Drayton Court''' was a hotel in [[Perivale]]. A grocer was located next door.


[[Len]] and [[Harvey (Survival)|Harvey]] worked in the grocery located next-door, to the north.
Former Perivale resident [[Ace|Ace McShane]] returned to the Drayton Court's pub on a Sunday in [[1989]], in search of her friends. Her visit was fruitless. Meanwhile, the [[Seventh Doctor]] shopped for cat food next-door. Ace was sitting despondent at the side-walk table when he emerged and asked her to pay for the cat food, as he was not carrying any currency. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'')

== Behind the scenes ==
[http://www.draytoncourtlondon.co.uk/ The Drayton Court Hotel] appeared as itself in the final "classic era" ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[TV|television]] serial, [[1989]]'s ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]''. The interiors of [[Len]]'s and [[Harvey (Survival)|Harvey]]'s grocery next-door, however, were filmed 5.4 miles away, at [http://www.doctorwholocations.net/locations/medwayparadeno20 20 Medway Parade, Perivale], across the road from where the Doctor and Ace meet [[Ange]].
