A popular Wetherspoon pub in Forest Hill which has been on the market for five months has found a buyer.

The Capitol was among four other Wetherspoons in south London which were put up for sale.

These were the Wrong Un in Bexleyheath, the Asparagus in Battersea, Bankers Hill in Eltham and Foxley Hutch in Purley.

The pubs are currently being marketed by CBRE and Savills, according to The Caterer. 

The Lewisham pub is under offer and will permanently close once the deal goes through, but will continue to trade as normal in the meantime.

Despite the offer, other proposals are still welcome, according to the JW Disposals website.

If the deal goes through, it will be the second Wetherspoons pub in Lewisham to close within the last two months.

The Edmund Halley pub also shut its doors in December. 

It is unknown when the Capitol will permanently shut. 

Senior director at CBRE, Toby Hall, said the pubs represent an "excellent" opportunity for existing pub operators.

He added that there are a mix of locations in the portfolio, which is rarely seen in the market. 

The chain, founded by businessman Tim Martin, operates around 800 pubs around the UK and Ireland.
