Sydenham was located in Kent until 1889 when the County of London was formed and in 1965 it became part of the current London Borough. It is now a suburban district of South London in the London Boroughs of Lewisham, Bromley and Southwark.

I will be adding information regarding this pub as and when I find or it is sent to me, but at present I'll be concentrating on the areas that are within the Kent boundary today.

Your help is appreciated, and every email is answered.

 

Kentish Mercury, Saturday, 3 October 1863.

Fifteen minutes' walk from the Crystal Palace.

W. Pearcy, "Man of Kent Inn," Lower Sydenham, begs to inform visitors to the very favourable locality that his house is pleasantly situated at the bottom of the village, and that it combines the accommodation of the tavern with the quietude of home. Handsome and capacious sitting and bedrooms with every requisite and attention, at very moderate charges.

Families supplied with first class Ales and Stout.
