Historic Interest
Built in 1913, this pub replaced an earlier beer-house that was located behind and set back from the High Street. The older premises, which dated from the 1820s, were then demolished to make way for housing along with White Hart Meadow. The latter was the site of the annual fair until the end of the 19th C. and also serving as Orpington's original football ground. White Hart Road now stands in its place. (From 1982 to 2002, the pub was the focal point for the Orpington Folk Club.)
This Pub serves no changing beers and 1 regular beer.
