Hart the old english stag

There are still many inns and pubs in England that sport a sign of the White Hart, the fifth most popular name for a pub. Arthur C. Clarke wrote a collection of science fictional tall tales under the title of Tales from the White Hart, which used as a framing device the conceit that the tales were told during drinking sessions in a pub named the White Hart that existed somewhere between Fleet Street and the Embankment. This pub was fictional, but was based on a real pub named the White Horse where the science fiction community of London met in the 1940s and 1950s.

In 2007 the publican, Richard A. Heath began to compile a web log of tall tales called the Moneyrow Green Bugle, which uses as a framing device the fact that the tales and events actually happen during drinking sessions in a pub named the White Hart that still exists somewhere between Holyport Road and Fifield. There are still several members of the Maidenhead science fiction community who regularly drink there to this day (those who were returned by the aliens during the 1980's).
