Coombe, Kingston upon Thames

Coombe is a historic neighbourhood in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames in south west London, England.

Most of the area was part of the former Municipal Borough of Malden and Coombe before local government re-organisation in 1965.

Its domesday assets were: 1½ hides; 4 ploughs, 12 acres (4.9 ha) of meadow, herbage worth 4 hogs.

[4][10] The 1911 Ordnance Survey map identified an estate known as Coombe Nevile at the junction of George and Warren Roads.

16th-century records speak of a gallows in Coombe, most likely near what is now Kingsnympton Park estate,[7] reputedly the scene of public executions.

In the early 1700s a public house known as the Fox and Coney was established at the junction of George Road and Kingston Hill (A308).

"[16] At the time of the 1865 Ordnance Survey, the area west of Warren Road remained largely open country.

[17] Numerous German bombs struck Coombe during World War II.
