In case you didn’t know, has recently had a serious glow-up ✨🍻

Following a full refurbishment, this Clapham favourite is looking better than ever. Think stunning new interiors, a fresh new layout, upgraded lighting and yes... brand new toilets (arguably one of the most important pub improvements).

Whether you’re popping in for a pint, settling in for a Sunday session or catching up with friends, it’s well worth checking out the new-look Sun.

They’ve also got a great line-up of events throughout the year, including their popular weekly quiz, live music and plenty more besides.

A fantastic new chapter for one of Clapham’s best-loved pubs 💛

Thanks for talking us through it Adam and Harvie!

Have you spotted the incredible new mural at yet?

The fabulous new artwork has brought even more colour, creativity and vibrancy to Venn Street, transforming the space into something bold, playful and impossible to miss!

Designed to reflect the eclectic, creative and social energy of Venn Street Records, the mural moves away from anything overly polished or corporate - instead celebrating the personality, character and slightly rebellious spirit that makes the venue (and Clapham!) so special 💥

A brilliant addition to the street and another reminder of the amazing creativity that exists across Clapham 💛

Artist: Sr. X
Agency: Global Street Art

It’s more important than ever to support local independent businesses 💛

Things are tough at the moment - especially for independent businesses across every sector. Rising costs, changing habits and increasing pressures are being felt by so many of the brilliant people behind the places we all love.

From family-run restaurants and local pubs to salons, studios and shops, these businesses are what give Clapham its personality, creativity and community spirit.

Behind every independent is someone working incredibly hard to keep their doors open and continue doing what they love.

So next time you grab a coffee, go for dinner, book a treatment or buy a gift… think local 💫
