Introducing Suntap: Your Ultimate Tool to Discover Sunny Pub Gardens Across the UK
We are excited to announce the launch of Suntap, a innovative and user-friendly web application designed to help pub enthusiasts and outdoor socializers find the sunniest outdoor spaces across select UK cities. Currently available in London, Bristol, and Brighton, Suntap provides real-time insights into sunlight exposure for outdoor pub gardens, ensuring you can plan your perfect sunny day out with confidence.
What is Suntap?
Suntap is a free online platform that combines live sun mapping with interactive features aimed at enhancing your outdoor drinking experience. Here’s what you can expect:
- Live Sun Map: Visualize the current sunlight and shadow coverage across mapped pub gardens with real-time updates.
- Sun-Timers: Track when your favorite outdoor spaces will brighten up or transition into shade throughout the day.
- City Top Lists: Quickly identify the most sun-drenched venues for a weekend getaway or casual meet-up.
- Community Mapping: Contribute by adjusting garden boundaries to improve accuracy and earn points towards future perks.
With detailed outlines of gardens, terraces, and balconies, Suntap allows you to instantly see whether a pub offers outdoor seating and precisely how long it is likely to stay sunny, making your planning more efficient and enjoyable.
Behind the Development
The idea for Suntap emerged amidst a vibrant community of outdoor enthusiasts and pub-goers. Inspired by similar projects like SunnyDays, which has garnered positive feedback, our team saw an opportunity to create a tool specifically tailored to beer garden lovers seeking the perfect sunny spot. Since launching, several other projects with similar aims have surfaced, reflecting a shared passion for outdoor leisure simplicity. However, Suntap differentiates itself with its focus on outdoor pub spaces and a user-centric approach.
We Value Your Feedback
As we continue to refine Suntap, we invite our community to share feedback, report bugs, or suggest new features. If you try the app this weekend, let us know how accurately it reflects the sunshine at your favorite locations. Your insights will help us make meaningful improvements and enhance your outdoor pub experience.

London’s Hidden Sunshine Gems: Enhancing Outdoor Pub Experiences
As a Londoner who loves spending time outdoors, I really appreciate tools like Suntap that help us find the sunniest spots to enjoy a pint or two. It’s especially useful given how unpredictable the weather can be, and the ever-changing patterns of sunlight across the city’s diverse pub gardens and terraces.
In addition to the features highlighted, I believe integrating local weather forecasts with real-time sun mapping could further enhance planning—imagine knowing not just where the sunshine is currently, but also what the weather is expected to do later in the day.
For those of us who enjoy discovering new venues or revisiting favourites with an upgrade, a feature allowing users to share their sun-tracked experiences or recommend sunny spots would be valuable. Perhaps a community leaderboard for the most consistent sunshine hours at specific venues could inspire friendly competition and exploration.
Overall, Suntap seems like a fantastic asset for London’s outdoor social scene—look forward to seeing how it evolves to serve us even better on those perfect sunny days!
Great initiative for outdoor pub lovers in London!
As a London resident who truly appreciates the city’s vibrant pub scene and outdoor spaces, I think Suntap could become an invaluable tool for planning sunny gatherings. With London’s often unpredictable weather, having an accurate, real-time map of sunlight exposure could make all the difference in choosing the perfect spot for a leisurely drink or catch-up with friends.
One additional feature that might be helpful is integrating local weather forecasts or UV index data to give users a more comprehensive picture of outdoor conditions beyond just sunlight patterns. Also, expanding the community mapping aspect to include user reviews or photos could make the platform even more engaging for residents looking for hidden gems or popular sun-drenched terraces.
Looking forward to seeing how Suntap develops and how it might help make outdoor drinking more enjoyable despite London’s famously moody weather!
