About White Hart

Traditional pub in one small room with large wooden dining tables, tucked away on a back street.

Close to Waterloo station, yet tucked away from the well-trodden streets and surrounded by some of London's oldest workers' cottages which provide a reminder of the South Bank of bygone times. This a traditional pub with vibrant atmosphere and vintage character in equal measure, and inside there is a warm welcome.

A circular bar is surrounded by separate areas with varnished floorboards and a variety of tables and chairs. A beer chalkboard in the left hand area describes current and future beers. Whilst food is a major feature, drinkers are welcome. The Saturday Brunch and Sunday Lunches have a good reputation. Sandwiches are available until 5pm and bar snacks are also available - all food is locally sourced and made to order.

    Great find, well worth walking around to see what is around Waterloo. Great beer, brill food, and staff were full of joy and happy to talk about the local area. It's london, so prices are high, but this was better than many in the city and it has good old British character. As a tourist, I felt very welcome, and please do try the crumble.

    I recently visited The White Hart Pub and was thoroughly impressed! The ambience is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing evening. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the selection of drinks and food was fantastic. I highly recommend the hearty pub fare – it’s delicious! It is a great place to unwind after a long day. I’ll definitely be returning!

    Came here for a quick bite to eat midweek. Service - brilliant and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Food delicious, hot and quick to arrive. The pub itself has such a welcoming and cosy atmosphere, standards are amazing.

    Really lovely, traditional English pub, Super friendly, clean well stocked. Staff was lovely one barmaid in particular went above and beyond by remembering our drinks order and checking in if we wanted to order food before a large party ordered so we didn’t have to wait, which was a really nice touch. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back and recommend others.
