Traditional pub
Traditional back street local, popular as a community pub with a strong loyal following. This was purchased from Punch by a private owner in 2016 and reopened in November of that year after a major refurbishment.
The pub remains attractively presented from the outside with window baskets, but internally is much more open and with more light than previously.
Cask ale has periodically been provided, but has now been discontinued. Fuller's London Pride is, however, available from a keg font.
Historic Interest
Built in the 1860s to serve the growing suburb of what was then called New Bromley with its workers' cottages. The area was further enhanced by the opening of the railway line to Bromley North station in 1878. The exterior was remodelled sometime in the early 20th C. with glazed tiles on the ground floor. This pub was originally owned by Crowleys' of Croydon, before ownership transferred to Page & Overton and then Charrington. The White Horse name is attributed to the ancient ties that Bromley has with Kent, this being the ancient county symbol. This links with the naming of Palace Road after Bromley Palace nearby, once owned by the Bishops of Rochester until 1845.
