Strongers . left this review about The Sun & 13 Cantons

The Sun & 13 Cantons is a slender L-shaped Fullers pub that seems to be aiming itself at a trendy younger crowd, so they’ve ditched the real ale to focus on Premium and craft keg options. I opted for a pint of Guinness that came with a very large head, which seems to be the standard in these parts. High seating is found across the front and up the left-hand wall opposite the serving counter up the right. Seating across the rear comes with Tagine Grill menus, so I assume this part of the pub is a restaurant. There’s a wooden floor throughout and lots of mirrors are found on the walls between green glazed tiles. The bar downstairs was closed, I assume this is also used for dining, and probably private hire. There was some random background music playing to the almost empty pub, which was odd on a nice Friday evening. The service was polite, but I don’t think I’ll be revisiting.

Opened in 1805 but rebuilt in 1882, now run by Fuller’s but you’d barely know it.
I can’t be arsed to describe the interior, as there’s a 360° tour on the website; suffice to say it’s a modern recreation of something vaguely Victorian. The crowds here didn’t make my brief experience pleasant; I couldn’t get to the bar. Oddly for a Fuller’s outlet, there’s no real ale, their only offering being something looking vaguely crafty, the only thing I would have gone for, given the chance, was something on keg from Siren.
As getting served was nigh-on impossible, the noise was deafening and I couldn’t see anything I’d want to drink, I left. This place is sandwiched between the Queen’s Head and Old Coffee House, so there’s no incentive to return.

Barely branded Fuller, Smith & Turner house (with the full shown along the bottom of the main windows, if you look carefully, but that's about it). Little seems to have changed since my last visit in 2010, and there is nothing very special about the sparsely furnished main bar, but the mirrored side room (somewhat reminiscent of an upmarket French brasserie) is worth a brief look. There is a small downstairs bar for private hire. Still no real ale, and many of the keg taps on three banks of five on the counter (plus six more on the bar-back) are duplicated. I counted 11 different beers and ciders in total, of which the Bandit from Gypsy Hill - the 'brewery of the month' - looked the most interesting (albeit at £3.20 for a half).
