The inn stands right by the junction where the A2 coming out of London meets the A102 coming out of the Blackwall Tunnel and from this point the modern dual carriageway adopts the A2 identity. But the Sun in the Sands, which gave its name to the junction, has a history going back centuries as a coaching inn on the Dover Road.
