Upper Sydenham
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.

Sydenham Times, 18 November 1862.
STEALING A WATCH.
Nathaniel Axtell, 3, Wells-terrace, Upper Sydenham, labourer, was
charged at Greenwich police-court, on Wednesday, with stealing a
silver watch from the person of Robert Beecham, a miner, living at
Rose-cottage, Upper Sydenham.
It appeared that on the previous night, the prosecutor was drunk and
asleep in the tap room at the "Hanover Arms" beer house, Wells-road,
and the prisoner was the only other person in the room during the
time the prosecutor was asleep, and was seen to leave the house in
great haste. When the prosecutor awoke he missed his watch, the
outer case of which was afterwards found on the floor of the room.
On the following morning, the matter was placed in the hands of P.C.
Greary, 58 R, who on meeting the prisoner accused him of stealing
the watch, when he denied all knowledge of it, but afterwards said
he had found it in the tap room on the previous night. The constable
accompanied the prisoner to his lodgings and saw him take the watch
from a cupboard in the kitchen. The prisoner still denied having
stolen the watch, and as the prosecutor desired that the prisoner
should be leniently dealt with, Mr. Maude sentenced him to two
months’ imprisonment with hard labour for the unlawful possession.
