The White Horse Peckham

Peckham pub The White Horse certainly looks traditional from the outside, but step through the door and you'll discover a more modern space. Behind the venue's mock-Tudor exterior you'll find a space that blends the old and the new – think light wood panelling, stained glass partitions, plush leather furniture, pool tables, and traditional rugs. Enhanced by plants and pops of contemporary decor, it all comes together to create a classic pub environment that's also wholly modern. There's also ample outdoor space for drinks al fresco.

The White Horse is a lively destination that has lots going on. Dogs are welcome here, the venue screens live sport, and when the weekend rolls around it's time for DJs and dancing until late into the night. Even if you're just dropping by for a quick drink or a casual meal, you'll find lots to enjoy here. The bar has carefully-curated its range of drinks, including organic and natural wines, cask-conditioned ales and other beers, and exciting spirits from independent producers. At weekends the back room gets turned into a cocktail bar offering well-crafted mixes.

Food is also available at The White Horse, thanks to changing kitchen residencies. Menus are subject to change but you can expect vibrant global flavours with dishes like filled rotis and generous burgers. This is casual food served in an easygoing setting. Whatever the occasion, this distinctive neighbourhood pub is a popular choice in Peckham, and has been since it opened in the 1800s.
