Sun in Splendour

Established in 1852, this charming pub is located on Portobello Road and is known for its unique curved frontage. It's the first, or depending on your direction, the last stop for those seeking a refreshing drink in the area. The interior is cosy and somewhat compact, featuring elegant slender poles that add to its character. The pub's sign is inspired by the standard of Edward IV, a Yorkist king, adding a touch of historical significance. It's a highly acclaimed establishment, having won the Evening Standard's 'Pub of the Year' award three times. An interesting feature of the pub was a model of the sun and rays on the roof, which unfortunately was destroyed in a violent storm at the turn of the 20th century. As for the current offerings, the pub, which is part of the M&B Castle chain, offers a small but quality selection of real ales. The food menu includes a variety of dishes, with Sunday roasts being a popular choice among patrons. Despite its size, this pub is packed with charm, history, and quality offerings, making it a must-visit spot on Portobello Road.
