First look at The Sun Wharf Wetherspoons in London Bridge

The Sun Wharf will be located at 50 Tooley Street, Southwark – the former home of the London Dungeon.

Now set to open on Thursday, September 2, 2025, the pub will transform a space steeped in history into a striking new destination for commuters, locals, and visitors.

The site at 50 Tooley Street was previously occupied by the London Dungeon for nearly four decades before the attraction moved to County Hall in 2013.

Since then, the arches have remained largely unused.

JD Wetherspoon’s redevelopment is designed to embrace the historic character of the structure while reimagining the space as a welcoming pub with both commuter and local footfall in mind.

The arches along Tooley Street once supported the operations of 19th-century importers and traders who worked out of nearby wharves.

Sites such as Fenning’s Wharf, Sun Wharf, and Hay’s Wharf were central to the area’s commercial identity.

Today, Hay’s Wharf has been redeveloped into Hay’s Galleria, while others were replaced by modern complexes such as No.1 London Bridge.

Recent archaeological finds during nearby construction, including a Bronze Age burial mound, have highlighted just how rich the history beneath the arches really is.

The opening of The Sun Wharf adds to the chain’s collection of architecturally distinctive venues and is set to become a popular spot in one of central London’s busiest transport hubs.
