The Sun Wharf will be at 50 Tooley Street in Southwark and is set to open on Tuesday September 2, 2025.
Anyone seeking a scare at London Dungeon would visit the railway arches on Tooley Street from 1974 until 2013 until it moved.
It will be a very sleek looking place to grab a pint, with a curved entryway underneath the arches.
Inside, there's plenty of exposed brickwork and high ceilings.
Along the walls are vintage portraits, which is a classic Wetherspoons calling card.
There's a heavily patterned carpet, but very modern light fittings, tables and chairs and cosy booths as well.
The pub will be open seven days a week from 6.30am to 12.30am every day.
Tooley Street is right outside London Bridge station where there are lots of eateries and places to drink, incluing the famous Borough Market, The Shard, Coal Drop Yard and Hay's Galleria.
50 Tooley Street was the former location of the London Dungeon attraction.

It opened in 1974 and inside you'd find historical waxworks.
Later on, it turned into theatrical shows and events like Fire of London and Jack the Ripper.
Now, London Dungeon is on Westminster Bridge Road and tickets start from £27 per person.
As for Wetherspoons, there's one which fans of the pub need to visit as it's the biggest in the world.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MASSIVE football journalist Fabrizio Romano has raised eyebrows by turning his attention to the SPFL's lower leagues. The transfer guru, famous for his 'here we go' slogan on transfer exclusives, has talked up a signing in the Scottish Championship. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Italian sportswriter Fabrizio Romano has a following of almost 26 million Credit: Alamy 3 He regularly posts transfers exclusives around football's top clubs Credit: Getty 3 Yesterday, he announced Dunfermline's signing of Jefferson Caceres Credit: Alamy The Italian took to social media to announce a deal which saw Peruvian midfielder Jefferson Caceres join second tier side Dunfermline Athletic. He wrote to his almost 26 million followers: "Jefferson Caceres, announced as new #DAFC player in massive move for Scottish Championship. "Contract valid for next 2 years." The post has received well over two million views on X. The global sportswriter spends most of his time reporting on football's most elite level of clubs and players, so some fans were left stunned by his interest in the Pars' transfer business. One wrote: "Genuinely never thought I'd see the day Romano was posting about Dunfermline." "Fabrizio talking about the Scottish Championship, mad days," posted a second. A third commented: "World's most prominent footballing journo announcing a Scottish Championship signing." Many fans of the East End Park club wrote 'we are massive' while the club itself reposted Romano simply saying '@FabrizioRomano knows'. Former Celtic man Neil Lennon acquired the 22-year-old from Sheffield United for an undisclosed fee yesterday. Celtic hero Neil Lennon spotted singing and dancing to Oasis song at Murrayfield gig The South American new boy previously played for homeland sides Melgar and Binacional and has been capped once for the country's under-23s. He joined the Blades last year and only featured for the U21 side, being named in his first senior squad in April but not appearing. And Caceres wasn't the only player Dunfermline signed yesterday, as they picked up Rangers kid Robbie Fraser on a three-year deal. The full-back impressed on loan at Livingston last season as they got promoted via the playoffs, beating Ross County in the final. The 22-year-old said to the club: 'I'm at a stage in my career where I've come out of that younger phase. I want to get games, I want to show that I'm more than capable of holding my own. "I want to do my absolute best for this football club, I want to get us back to the top league, where they should be.' Meanwhile off the pitch, gaffer Lennon was spotted enjoying himself at Murrayfield as he took in one of Oasis' reunion gigs. The Hoops legend's son, Gallagher, is named after the iconic band's brothers Liam and Noel. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
