The Sun and 13 Cantons

A large crowd gathers outside this small but classic bar in Soho. The place is never that crowded inside however though the population swarms at the doors- this is due only to the fact that the walkways and seating is narrowed inside that it is better accommodating outside even in the freezing winter winds. The place is essentially a passageway  with a bar halfway down snaking into tables chairs and youthful punters before dropping to  basement of toilets and an even smaller lower bar. The toilets are rather grim and the place is full of big spenders with little sense. The drinks are expensive with a slow service and the overall experience is claustrophobic and confusing.

Overall I was totally unimpressed and similar to all the other tiny squalid establishments in Soho it was too expensive and too unappealing for more than a single pint. 2/10.
