The White Hart, London

The White Hart claims its spot among London's oldest licensed pubs, and while it's not a posh place, the food is tasty, and you definitely get bang for your buck. Back in the 18th century, this neighborhood was notorious for being a rough London slum, where brawls, drunkenness, and ladies of the night were common sights. Legend has it that The White Hart had some interesting regulars, including infamous thieves like Jack Sheppard and Richard (Dick) Turpin. The latter even stopped by for a drink before his hanging in 1739.

Fast forward to today, and The White Hart has transformed into a delightful pub with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You'll find a relaxed and friendly vibe here, along with a variety of pub games and a diverse music playlist. The menu is packed with both classic and modern pub grub, ranging from fish and chips to burgers, nachos, cheese platters, and more. And when it comes to drinks, they've got you covered with a well-stocked bar offering a wide selection of draft and bottled beers, ciders, and an extensive list of fine spirits and liqueurs. The music typically spans popular hits from the 1960s to today, with a sprinkle of house and dance tunes.
