The White Lion is a proper locals' pub in the eastern suburbs of Aldershot where conversation rules.

It reopened in June 2023 after being closed for over 3 years. Tastefully refurbished with brushed wood tables and floors and dark blue wood paneling. The pub has retained its two-room layout, with the smaller snug to the rear, where you can be served from a hatch from the main bar, now housing a pool table.

Triple fff beers are regularly available plus one or two from a range of breweries. It is welcoming to visitors, including away fans when Aldershot Town are playing at home.

Despite reopening the pub is still owned by developers who have had two planning applications to convert the pub into flats, refused, one of which is subject to an appeal so the future of the pub still remains uncertain.

Historic Interest

Built shortly after the army arrived in Aldershot in 1854, this is one of the oldest surviving pubs in the town.
