Contrary to what is said below this is not a shop conversion but an original pub, probably Whitbread as an old beer guide shows it selling Wethered's Bitter and Flower's Original.
Having said that, the interior does look more like a shop conversion than a pub as it is long and narrow with an extended area at the rear.
It's only been open as a Spoons for two years and is a much pleasanter place than the Spoons down by Bromley South Station some half a mile away. There are two banks of five pumps with no doubling up but sadly two uninvited guests, Doombar and London Pride. With the two usual GK beers this left six proper guests which were Warwickshire Churchyard Bob, two WJ King, a Clarence & Frederick, a By the Horns and a Westerham beer. I went for the Churchyard Bob (£2.29) which was in very good nick. This was my favourite of the four SE London Spoons visited on the day.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Greyhound (JD Wetherspoon)
Fairly new addition to the Wetherspoons empire (dating from 2011). The 'L'-shaped bar is much larger than the facade behind the front patio would suggest. Usual furniture and decor. Unusually for the chain, it has a semi-open kitchen. Forgot to count the number of handpumps, but they were all on with several interesting guests (including Arundel Old Scrooge, £2.09) in addition to the usual suspects. Overall, you will know what to expect, and it does it reasonably well, but I got the impression that some of the staff weren't quite up to speed.

A deceptively large pub in a typical JDW shop conversion, the Greyhound has a small frontage and a much larger interior which spreads into neighbouring premises and to the rear of the terrace to form an airy L -shaped bar. Floors are mostly carpeted, but with a worthwhile tiled section which adds an air of calm. Pleasant (if slightly vacuous) staff, apart from the lady manager who was extremely efficient, polite and helpful. Carpeted floor and food servery which allows visibility of what is going on in the kitchen. There is a smokers' area to the front and easy access to Sainsbury's at the rear, though the latter allows smoke from other areas to blow in when the doors are open. There were 8 ales on - I had Pewsey Three Castles, which was in very good condition. The food was still below par for pub food. Worth dropping in for a pint, and certainly a better bet than the other nearby JDW.
