Here's what it should have looked like…
"Where's your sign?!" (I failed to hide the note of panic in my voice. I love that sign.)
"We're getting a new one."
"Will it be the same? With three kings on it?" (I am an old fart: I hate change.)
The answer was a reassuring, "Yes." And the old sign can still be seen, on the balcony here…
We'll keep you posted on the progress of the new sign, and you can follow The Three Kings on Facebook.
You can catch up with our tribute to this great London institution on our Thirsty London podcast…
