In Only Fools and Horses, why is an outing referred to a "Beano" ?

I know most cockney rhyming slang but this one has got me. A "Beano" to Margate ? meaning a trip. The other one is a "Drum" for a house / home / dwelling ?

    Beano comes from Beanfeast an 18th Century feast of beans and bacon landowners put on for the hired help.

    Drum probably comes from Drom the Romany word for road.
