The White Hart Tavern was situated at 383-385 King Street. This pub closed c2012 and has now been converted to a Sainsburys convenience store.
 
I remember the White Hart in Hammersmith, it was our most popular haunt. I started going there in 1996 until I left London in 1999. Friday, Saturday and some Sunday nights had live music. The landlady was called Steph and although she looked a bit fierce, she was lovely. I remember some of the bands were Scam 69, Worm, Beki and The Bombshells and Dino Baptiste and The Mystic Mile. Sundays was either another Acoustic Revolution night (see The Coach & Horses, Chiswick entry) or Papa George Blues Band. Part of the appeal of the pub was its 'late licence' at weekends until possibly 1am. When Steph left for a pub in Croydon, the place died a death. A pity.
Another unusual thing about the pub was that the barstaff all lived in the flats above the pub.
