This pub is neither a listed building nor one of London's Real Heritage Pubs but it is a three-roomed detached pub, possibly 1950s, with faux ornate plasterwork in the rear room and the public bar. Two fine original fireplaces remain and the two portholes at the front strike a very "moderne" note.

The White Horse was featured on the LPG crawl Barking up the Becontree: Daytime Crawl of Ilford, Goodmayes, Becontree and Barking in October 2012.
