Hate to see a fellow drinker in distress!! Don't know if this will help: http://www(.)beerintheevening(.)com/pubs/show(.)shtml/6334/ Pub was suggested by someone on 19 Jan 2004 which suggests that it was still serving beer until recently??

Hi Sara,thanks for your reply yes the pub does exist or did quite recently but the phone number I have is showing as line not in use.Having checked the pub guide website it had a poor review and thats what leads us to thinking that its been closed .Directory enquiries cannot give us an updated number so we are going round in circles,the website picture gives no indication of brewery used because that was going to be my next port of call.So I thought I'd appeal to any local drinkers that may be lurking thirstily out there. Thanks anyway, Elaine

Hi Elaine If you put the name of the pub into your google search it does come up. I would assume that it does exist. Regards Sarah.

Hi everyone hope you're all well and your researching is proving bountiful!!!. Do any of you drink in the Mitcham,S.London area?,if so can anyone shed light on THE THREE KINGS,Commonside E..We now know it's probable that hubbys G.Grandfather owned as well as lived there from the late 1800s,he wasn't the publican.I've tried contacting the pub to see if they or the brewery may have records,memorablia etc.But to no avail,the number is apparently unavailable and we are hoping that it's not being closed.Living on the S.Coast we just can't get up there at the moment and I fear we'll be too late in our search.Also I need to prove a point to hubby as has moaned consistently about the amount of time I spend on Genealogy!!!!So please Guys can any one help with details on the pub and also help me prove a point to hubby!!!. With Thanks, Elaine
