The White Hart
About
The White Hart is the oldest licensed premises in London, tucked away on Drury Lane in Covent Garden’s bustling Holborn district. Since 1216 it has been a favourite haunt for locals, visitors and the West End theatre community alike, offering hearty British pub fare, homemade pies and a generous selection of local ales and cask beers. The pub’s intimate bar area is perfect for a relaxed chat by the frosty pint, while the spacious back area—available free for private parties—can transform into a vibrant dancefloor with DJ nights every Friday and Saturday from 10 pm to the early morning. With a friendly, family‑friendly atmosphere and a strong sense of heritage, The White Hart invites you to experience London’s most historic pub on a memorable night out or a casual daytime stop.
