Rising Sun

A proper neighbourhood local near the Barbican with real ales, honest food, and the kind of regulars who've been coming for decades.

You'll find this place tucked away on Cloth Fair, a street that feels properly old London—cobbled, quiet, the kind of corner the city's forgotten about in the best way. The Rising Sun has that comfortable, lived-in feel of a pub that knows exactly what it is: no pretence, no Instagram angles, just good beer and people who actually live round here. Step inside and you're met with wood, brass, and the kind of lighting that makes everyone look better. It's the sort of place where you can nurse a pint for hours or pop in for a quick one after work, and nobody cares either way.
