About Old White Horse
Traditional pub with exposed brick and banquettes, for cask ales, burger menu and live TV sports.
One of the few local buildings to have survived the great Edwardian clearance scheme in the first few years of the twentieth century, this is a tucked-away pub off the beaten tourist track and worth finding. Close to the LSE and leased from it, the small bar has a cosy feel to it, possibly due to the blood-red colour of walls & ceiling. There is a raised seating area at the rear. Four handpumps but only one or two may be in use depending on demand. Food includes Sunday roasts.
In spite of its closeness to the LSE there is no student discount, so expect a more mature clientele.

Really small , but that’s what we loved about it.Street seats nice spaced out too. Basic drinks but polite service. Hidden little pub we just discovered walking around. Clean lavatory 👍🏻

Tiny pub round the corner from the Peacock Theatre.Some outdoor seating. Good prices,I had a pint of Aspall's cider for £5.90 which is a steal in London! Would definitely return. Cheers all !

Did not see any food other than bags of chips but the beer and cocktails were top notch!
