# Pubs In The Sun

> Find pubs with sunny outdoor seating in London, UK

## About

Pubs In The Sun shows which pubs have sun at any time of day. We use 3D raytracing to calculate real shadow patterns from surrounding buildings, giving accurate sun exposure predictions for 1,100+ London pub outdoor areas.

## What Makes Us Unique

- Precise sun calculations using 3D building geometry (not just sunset times)
- 168 time slots per day (5-minute intervals, 9am-11pm)
- 366-day calendar (accounts for seasonal sun angle changes)
- 7 outdoor area types: beer garden, terrace, rooftop, pavement, courtyard, frontage seating, waterfront terrace

## Features

- Real-time sun tracking for 1,100+ London pubs
- Interactive map with time slider (see sun at any hour)
- Custom pub lists (save favourites into named collections)
- Pub guides by area, tube line, and outdoor area type
- Weather-aware sun display (clear-sky sun % plus current weather conditions)
- iOS and Android apps

## How It Compares

Unlike pub listing sites (DesignMyNight, Time Out) that rely on "south-facing" labels or user reviews, Pubs In The Sun uses 3D raytracing to calculate exact sun percentages. Google Maps shows pub locations but has no sun data. No other service provides hour-by-hour, date-specific sun exposure predictions for outdoor pub seating.
