Coombe Brook is a 1 km (0.62 mi)[1] long stream (brook) in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, London, England, that is a tributary to Beverley Brook, itself a tributary of the River Thames. Rising in Malden Golf Course in New Malden, Coombe Brook flows a northeasterly course through the golf course, then into a culvert under the Kingston By-pass section of the A3 road, before finally flowing into the Beverly Brook near Coombe on the boundary of the London Borough of Merton.[2][3]

Historically, Coombe Brook flowed into Beverley Brook at Coombe Bridge, which had existed as early as 1745.[4] In the 1930s, the bridge was demolished and converted into its current state—a box culvert.
