The Rising Sun

This location, historically, served as a meeting place for grave-diggers who would gather in the upper room to negotiate the sale of cadavers to physicians at the nearby Barts. For a period, the building functioned as office space before being acquired by Sam Smiths. Prior to this, it was a Courage house. A unique feature of this establishment is its dartboard, a rarity in this region.
