Standard spoons - in the Good Beer Guide 2024 under Colindale and to be fair, there didnt seem to be anything else in Colindale other than mid-rise housing promoted by a company called Unkle.
Converted woolies - with drinking area to the front and then laid out for dining towards the rear. Usual carpet style, picture style on walls and more fruit machines than in a las vegas hotel lobby.
Brains SA in very good condition.

Visit 10th October 2013
This place is said to be a conversion of a Woolworth's so I was tempted to walk in, steal some sweets and do a runner. The problem was that there were no sweets to be seen so I had to buy a pint of Bengali Tiger (£2.45). I seem to recall visiting a Spoons near here around 20 or more years ago that was also a converted Woolworths. It was the White Lion Of Mortimer in West Hendon and boasted as I recall claiming to be the biggest pub in the world, so I wonder what happened to that.
This place is one of the better shop conversions as it isn't a long narrow cave. There are windows at the back which make it light and airy. There are 10 pumps with the 2 GK beers doubled up as was the Yeovil Ruby guest ale. The other four pumps had Adnam's Sixpoint Bengali Tiger, Wadworth's Chelsea Sunset Red, Beartown Bearly Literate and Old Rosie Cider.
The quality of the Bengali Tiger was very good. The outer parts of North West London are pretty hopeless for pubs and this area is no exception, so this Spoons has very little opposition.

The Moon Under Water certainly isn’t going to be a flagship Wetherspoons anytime soon, but it is a fairly safe bet in this area full of shop converted Irish bars. I counted ten hand pumps, although three of these were off, and a good sized standard draught range. Cheap food and drinks promotions are available and there are comfortable booths down either side of the pub. There is a plasma screen at the front and rear of the pub and these were both showing subtitled rolling news.
Although I found the service to be friendly this is still a large forgettable Spoons and I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink here again.
