Sun in Splendour Public House, Portobello Road, (Public Domain Photograph)
Here is a photograph of the Sun in Splendour pub which is at the Notting Hill Gate end of Portobello Road.
This is a good, traditional, British Public House.
The Sun serves good beer and some good hearty pub grub in a comfortable “pubby” environment. There are some big leather sofas but you have to be lucky to get one, as the pub is always busy. The Sun in Splendour can get VERY busy in the summer.
The times I have been into “The Sun” for a pint there has been a good mix of visitors AND locals, so the pub doesn’t have the feel of a tourist pub, even though it attracts many of the visitors to Portobello Road.
I place this Carbuncle’s Blog photograph of the Sun in Splendour Public House, Portobello Road, London in the public domain, as far as I am able, and allow any use including commercial - check the terms of use here.
The Sun in Splendour pub is definitely worth a visit, if you are passing by on the way to Portobello Road.
Know any other good pubs in London?
