The Sun Inn

You're walking past the Thames on Parkshot, and The Sun Inn pulls you in with that unmistakable smell of a working pub—real ale, wood, and something good cooking. This isn't the kind of place that's trying to be anything other than what it is: a solid neighbourhood spot where you can drink a pint without irony, eat without pretension, and actually have a conversation because they haven't blasted terrible music at you. The riverside location means you can watch the water while you're nursing a drink, which is the kind of accidental charm that keeps people coming back for years.
