The pub is found in Whitechapel, Greater London, E1 4TP.

This pub was present at the London end of Mile End Road as early as 1750. It was rebuilt in its present form in around 1900 and is a striking building with a cupola high above the corner door. In the 1970s and 1980s it was the principle pub of the small Murphy’s chain of East End pubs, owned by a family of that name. This pub in particular became known simply as ‘Murphy’s’, and the White Hart name was forgotten for a while. It was notorious for its late night lock-ins, and a tap on the side door in the early hours was usually rewarded by the chance of a sly late one. At this time the pub retained superb etched-glass partitions and mirrors. All that was swept away some time in the late-1990s in a controversial refurbishment that left the pub with a large, open-plan, wooden-floored main bar and a function room upstairs. Further refurbishment came in 2013, and this saw the introduction of an open view kitchen and a micro-brewery in the cellar. Brewing was initially in-house, with beers sold variously as Mulligans at the White Hart or as WH Brew Pub. This brewing venture met with mixed success and in August 2014 the new One Mile End Brewery took over the kit and was immediately successful with its full-flavoured brews. The brewery quickly outgrew the premises and, in the summer of 2016, relocated to Tottenham. 6 handpumps on the bar counter. In September 2022 the pub passed to McMullen.
