Pubs In The Sun started with a simple problem: we once found the perfect sunny pub, but when we returned a few weeks later, the sun had moved and the spot was in the shade. That got us thinking, wouldn't it be great if you could always know how sunny each pub in London is?
With Kate's background as a Product Manager and Andrew's experience founding a computer vision company, we set out to solve this. In 2024, we launched the first web version of Pubs In The Sun, and in 2025 we've made this into a mobile app.
Pubs In The Sun tracks over 800 London pubs, updating every 15 minutes throughout the day. We simulate each pub in 3D, even showing the shadows from nearby buildings and trees. Our computer vision model then analyzes these scenes to figure out exactly how much sun is shining on each part of the pub.
The result? Pubs In The Sun shows you the best sunny spots at any given moment as well as how long the sun will be there for.
Cheers!Kate & Andrew
