The Sun, WC2

The Sun is a smallish late 19th Century corner pub on the junction of Drury Lane and Betterton Street a short walk from Covent Garden market. And despite its close proximity to this tourist magnet it is sufficiently off the beaten path to be a lot less crowded than the establishments nearer the market square. A single room pub with a comfortable, but fairly routine interior decor. Seating at one end and then the bar stretching throughout the rest of the pub, with a plazma TV situated at either end. Two handpumps on the bar, one dispensing GK IPA, but the other was Flowers Original, which is an increasingly rare find nowadays. The GK IPA was already off when we arrived, which is usually no great loss, but then the Flowers went off mid round rendering the pub ale less, so we had to move on sooner than we expected. But all in all , a decent but nothing special back street pub close to Covent Garden and I will probably pop back in again, just for The Flowers.
