The spot

Why go here?

The White Hart sits on Church Road in the heart of the Triangle and has stayed a proper pub while the area around it has gentrified. On a matchday the locals and the Eagles share the same bar, the screens are on and the walk to Selhurst is downhill all the way.

  • Triangle pub on Church Road, SE19
  • Walking distance down the hill to Selhurst Park
  • Cask ales kept properly and a full lager line
  • Big screens for early kick-offs and other games
  • Steady mix of Triangle locals and Palace fans
  • Traditional pub feel that has not been polished away

Best moment to visit

Pint and a screen on a noon kick-off

  • First cask ale at the bar with the regulars
  • Other game on the big screen as a warm-up
  • Palace fans drifting in two hours before
  • The walk down Church Road towards Selhurst

Heads up: it gets full fast for big games, get there early or you are standing.
