This pub is a grade II listed building and the listing description is as follows: “Right hand part apparently early C19, but probably a remodelling of an earlier building. 2 storeys, stucco, 3 sash windows, the centre one on full height 3-storey projection beneath Dutch gable. Quoins. Central Jacobean style feature enclosing doors and window with pilasters, cornices and strapwork ornament. Quoins to wings, modillion cornice, parapet, old tile roof. Dutch gable also to right hand return. Projecting portion to left is C18, painted weatherboarding, 2 storeys. 4 sash windows to ground floor with old panelled shutters, 1st floor has 2 large overhanging canted sashed bays. Dentil eaves cornice continued round bays. Tile roof with hip to right. A list of voluntary rate payers for October 1707 refers to "John Watson at the sign of the Greyhound". The Greyhound Inn, wall to east of the Greyhound, Church of All Saints, North Churchyard wall and Nos 6 and 12 (Coach and Horses) form a group with Anne Boleyn's Well, St Mary's and Madeley Cottage in Church Hill and with the following items: with No 1 High Street and entrance gates to The Grove, with road bridge, Leoni bridge, culvert and retaining walls to Carshalton Ponds and with Honeywood Lodge and walls, Honeywood Walk and The Gate House.” Unfortunately this description makes no note of the interior, the best feature of which is the lovely little Swan Bar.

The Greyhound Hotel featured on the Daytime Crawl of Southern Outer London in June 2015, and the Super Suburbia, a Wealth of Styles and Periods: Daytime Crawl of Cheam, Sutton, Carshalton and Wallington in October 2011.
