Urban Pubs and Bars, London’s largest independent pub and dining group, has today announced the reopening of The Sun of Camberwell.
The popular pub will reopen on Friday 6th June following a six-week closure and a £1 million investment.
Located on Coldharbour Lane, just a short stroll from Camberwell Green and Loughborough Junction, The Sun has been a beloved hub for the local community for decades.
Revived with key upgrades, the refurbishment includes a completely revamped kitchen, newly landscaped front and rear outdoor areas, and refreshed interiors.
The centrepiece of the refurbishment is the expansive rear garden, now among the largest pub gardens in the Camberwell area.
Designed for summer socialising, outdoor dining, and weekend drinks, the space offers a relaxed setting for guests to enjoy. The front terrace has also been redesigned as a welcoming street-facing space to enhance the overall guest experience.
Inside, the upgraded kitchen highlights a renewed focus on food and dining. A seasonal British menu, created using premium ingredients from suppliers such as HG Walter, takes centre stage. Guests can enjoy modern pub dishes and bar snacks, with highlights including an elevated Sunday roast featuring a sharing lamb shoulder, all prepared in the open kitchen within the dining space.
Chris Hill, Managing Director of Urban Pubs and Bars, said, “The Sun is one of our most cherished neighbourhood pubs, and we’re excited to be investing in its future. The upgraded kitchen and garden areas, alongside a strong food-led offer, reflect our commitment to providing great hospitality in great spaces. We’re looking forward to welcoming our guests back this June.”
The Sun remains open seven days a week and continues to offer a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere for drinks, dining, and special events. The Parlour, available for private hire, can accommodate up to 40 guests and includes access to both the main bar and the garden, making it ideal for birthdays, casual gatherings, and other celebrations.
