🚇 Elephant & Castle 🍺 £4.40 Heineken ❤️ A proper London locals boozer. . The Rising Sun is located on Harper Road on the edge of the Rockingham Estate near Elephant & Castle. The nearest Tube is Elephant & Castle which is a eight minute walk away. . This pub was built in 1938 and is the last remaining pub on the Rockingham Estate. The Royal Standard, The Uxbridge Arms and The William IV have all gone, the development vultures wanted to knock The Rising Sun down and build a six storey block of flats in its place, thankfully Southwark Council put the kibosh on the idea, meaning this pub is now an asset of community value (ACV), great news. . This is a clean and tidy no frills pub that is simply decorated. At the centre of the bar is a horseshoe shaped servery that has s solid wooden counter. There is plenty of seating around the pub, most punters sat on the stools that surrounded the bar. Around the walls are framed football shirts, a jukebox and a dartboard if you fancy a game or arrows. On the left of the bar is a pool table, behind that is a stage when the pub has disco’s, live music and functions. . The beer choice was straightforward and inexpensive, I had a pint of Heineken, my pint hit the spot and cost just over a four spot. There is no food here but plenty of crisps and nuts to keep you going. . I arrived just after 3pm on a Saturday and the atmosphere was chilled and relaxed. I was served who I presume was the Landlady, we had a bit of banter about paying cash instead of card, I felt very welcome. There were about six punters in when I arrived, an old fella was studying the form, another lady was having chat with the regulars at the bar and a couple of lads were playing pool, everyone new everyone. . As I left the pub, I got talking to a Father and Son who have been regulars here for years. They told me about the amount of pubs that have closed in the area and their concerns about new generations supporting and frequenting The Rising Sun. . If you’re ever in the area, work close by or just interested in pubs, why not pop in here for a few drinks and enjoy a proper London locals boozer. . ℹ️ Info correct 11.03.23

Accidentally stumbled across this pub for being directed to the wrong postcode 😬 Toilets smell beautiful! Always great in a boozer if you ask me. The lady behind the bar was very helpful, kind and even brought water out for my dog 😊 Great experience all round 👍
Just love this place, great staff and great customers. Not one for the 'real ale' community as only keg on tap. However, still a wonderful pub to visit and enjoy. I thoroughly recommend. A back street boozer par excellence.
