Sun & 13 Cantons, London
Embrace the pub’s original vibe
From the outside, the Sun & 13 Cantons doesn’t stand out any more than the pubs surrounding it in this corner of Soho in London. As a Grade II-listed building, there were obvious limitations on what could be done with the exterior of the pub.
Step inside and the décor is clearly very contemporary, and yet it doesn’t clash with the traditional exterior of the pub.
The reason for this is that while the furnishings are modern and well looked after, they also feel like they belong in an authentic London bar.
The modern leather furnishings don’t look out of place because they are understated.
Meanwhile, the polished green tiles on the wall and the well-preserved bar feel like they belong in a traditional London pub.
