The sun will never stop shining at beer gardens in London this summer thanks to this new smart mirror.

Developed by Greenwich based brewers Meantime, their high-tech mirror uses GPS tracking to follow the trajectory of the sun.

This means if you post these new mirrors around beer gardens, the sun could be reflected into them for constant sunshine.

The new invention is being trialled at the aptly named The Sun in Clapham with a view to rolling-out to more beer gardens in the UK.

Rich Myers, Marketing Director of Meantime Brewing Company, said: “There are few things more enjoyable than relaxing in a sunny pub garden with a cold pint of London Lager.

“We’ve all been in a situation where you find yourself having to dodge shadows, chasing the rays as they move across the garden.

“We set out to solve this great British problem by creating the Smart Mirror, designed to give one of our favourite pub gardens sunshine across the whole day.”

John France, General Manager of The Sun pub, said: “Our garden comes into its own in the summer months but as the sun moves across the sky the shadows do start to creep in.

Even though it’s entertaining to watch our punters huddle together to cram into the sunny spots, we’re really excited to have the opportunity to drench our garden in sun all day long.

We thought Meantime were a bit mad when they first introduced the Smart Mirror concept to us, but we’re always up for trying new things and it’s an amazing innovation that will transform our garden into the greatest sun trap around.”
