JD Wetherspoon could be opening a new pub inside the former London Dungeon attraction.
The Sun Wharf pub would be inside the arches at 50 Tooley Street and open from 6.30am to 12.30am daily.
The name is believed to reference to one of the wharves east of London Bridge where imports from Australia once arrived.
The space housed The London Dungeon, an iconic Merlin Entertainments-owned attraction, until 2013.
After that, it moved to County Hall on the South Bank as part of a redevelopment of London Bridge Station.
The last Tooley Street tour took place on January 31, 2013, and had sections including The Great Plague, Blood and Guts, Boat Ride to Hell and Sweeney Todd.
Network Rail has previously complained that the space was hard to let. In 2017, the rail provider wrote: “The residual premises provide a very poor quality environment.
”The former user (London Dungeon) was somewhat unusual in so far as the poor quality environment was its main attraction.
“NR Commercial Property has been unable to identify other potential D2 users willing to lease the residual space in its current state.”
