Coombe Lodge is a grade II listed Georgian building, which is probably the most impressive pub structurally in Croydon. A pub only since 1990, it has been operated by Whitbread under their 'Beefeater' brand, but closed on 2 September 2025. JD Wetherspoon have announced their intention to reopen it as a pub on 10 December 2025.
As a Beefeater, the left of the building as you face the entrance was the restaurant, and to the right the large bar, adjoined by a splendid Victorian conservatory. Outside is a large garden. Although only a short distance from the centre of town, Coombe is an almost rural situation, despite the tram and main road passing outside the entrance. The site also has a modern Premier Inn building and large car park but this does not detract from the impressive older house.
