We show the existence of a very large spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) in single photon plasmonics based on spontaneous emission and the dipole-dipole interaction initiated energy transfer (FRET) on plasmonic platforms. The spin orbit coupling inherent in Maxwell equations is seen in the conversion of sigma + photon to sigma - photon. The FRET is mediated by the resonant surface plasmons and hence we find very large SHEL. We present explicit results for SHEL on both graphene and metal films. We also study how the splitting of the surface plasmon on a metal film affects the SHEL. In contrast to most other works which deal with SHEL as correction to the paraxial results, we consider SHEL in the near field of dipoles which are far from paraxial.
