The rather elegant building was once an inn, then a beer retailer and then a Tea House. As an inn its life was rather brief. The Three Kings was licensed in the mid 19th century. A directory in 1867 lists it as a beer retailer with M G Pouten as innkeeper. The Three Kings appears to have closed in 1870 and later, for a time, it became a 'Pilgrims' Tea House'.
In 1902 No. 4 St. Margaret's Street was the property of W J Jennings, Architect and Surveyor. In 1992 it was Caxton's Commercials Ltd., Commercial Surveyors.
