See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
The White House was a fairly modern Lloyds No1 bar set in a small commercial complex servicing the Stockley Park business community and golf course. Approached through a large, outdoor patio area, glass doors lead into a modern style interior with marble bar top, cream decor, abstract paintings, subtle lighting, potted plants and a mixture of furnishings. Stairs and a ramp lead down to a lower seating/eating area, partly non-smoking, where children are welcome until 6pm. More steps beyond lead on to a circular conservatory with outdoor seating overlooking the lake. Piped music and video screens unfortunately intrude upon the ambience. Named after Dawley Cottage, also known as the White House, a pub that served brickworkers in the area until closed in 1959 and demolished in 1990.
