Oh, you know, the White Horse & Bower has always been one of those hidden gems in Westminster, right near all the hustle and bustle of the Houses of Parliament – it's got that classic London pub charm that just draws you in. From what I've gathered from the buzz around, the staff are absolute stars; they're friendly, experienced, and make everyone feel welcome, which is just what you want after a long day. The drinks selection is brilliant too, with plenty of fine cask ales and tasty grub to keep things going, and it's got all the perks like cosy spots to sit, an outdoor area for when the weather's playing nice, and even things like darts or catching the latest match on TV. It's spot on for grabbing a pint with friends or refuelling before exploring the city. But, fair's fair, it's all hands to the pump at the moment with a big refurb underway, so it's closed until summer 2025 – that means no visits for now, which is a bit of a letdown if you're itching to go. Plus, a few have piped up that the music could be a tad better, and if you're someone who still likes to pay with cash, you might have to plan around that. All in all, once it's back up and running, it'd be well worth keeping an eye on for a proper, relaxed pub experience in the heart of London.
