The pub was demolished in the late 60s it was a Whitbread pub in
the 1970’s, and an office block was
built with a pub underneath. It was called the "Greyhound," the "Flat
Foot Sams," the "Tonic," then the "Beckenham" now
(2016) "Kelsey Park House."
The whole block replaced an early "Greyhound," which I believe the street
numbering was changed at some point.

From the Kent and Sussex Courier, 9 September, 1874.
Bromley Licensing District.
At the Annual Licensing Sessions for Kent, held at Bromley on Tuesday,
Mr. Alexander Beattie in the chair,
the whole of the licences for the district, which comprises 16 parishes,
were renewed without comments,
except that the victuallers were cautioned that they were responsible
for persons found in their houses after
the actual hour of for clothes in the past.
With regard to new licenses, only one application was entertained, that
of Mr. Steele, "Greyhound Inn,"
Beckenham, which was supported by Mr. Gregory, of King Street, Cheapside,
and opposed by Mr. Louis
Lewis, of Hatton Garden, and granted.
An application was made by Victoria Wine Company, Mr. William Winch
Hughes, of Woodford, Essex, being
the applicant, for a licence to sell spirits by retail other than
bottle, he having previously held a licence to
sell beer, &c., by bottle. Mr. Gregory opposed in this case, his
objection being that the applicant did not
intend to reside on the premises, that being one of the qualifications
required by the Wine and Beerhouse
Act, 1869, 32 and 33 Vict., c. 27,. sec. 8. This application was
adjourned for the Bench to consider the
objections raised.
