A gentlemanly pootler, these days

The knackered old Mongoose, having had its brakes done, has now developed another "feature".
A couple of months ago, the chain was drooping when I was freewheeling. Knackered freewheel, thought I, and took to LBS, who stripped it out and removed all the hardened grease, which worked a treat; he did warn me, however, that the bike was on borrowed time.
Today I was a bit startled to find that, whilst trying to pedal away from lots of traffic in Camberwell, the crank spun as if there was no chain. Going up and down the gears got it going again, but it happened a few times in the day.
What on earth should I be looking at, other than one of those Cube Pelotons from CRC?
