"White Hart"

Up "Alfie" @ "White Hart"

The White Hart  Hotel is now The Great House at Sonning Hotel.   

When I was a student at Reading University I often wondered what it was like to stay in such a place. For my 64th birthday I found out.

In 1966 I saw the film "Alfie" starring Michael Caine and was sure that one of the sequences was filmed in Sonning at The White Hart hotel. In 2011, Forty-five years later, I have taken photos and compared them with "stills" to show this was the case (see attached) and submitted them to the "Reel Streets" website.
