One of the best known pubs in Richmond on account of its rugby ties, the Sun is hugely popular on match days but also with the locals of Richmond. Rugby memorabilia including shirts, photos and cartoon occupies every spare inch of this historic pub that is close to the station and Richmond Theatre. 6 hand pumps. The pub is perhaps one of the most unspoiled in Richmond and worth a visit.

History: Originaly built about 1720 and known at first as the 'Kew foot Lane Coffee House'. Became a licensed public house under its new name about 1790 and rebuilt in 1842.
