Established 1845. Robert White and his sons Robert James White and John George White formed a partnership in 1875 as R White and Sons. Incorporated as R White and Sons Limited in 1894. The company manufactured "mineral and aerated waters and cordials" (including lemonade and ginger beer), later known as soft drinks. Based at Cunard Street and Neate Street, Camberwell.

Subsidiaries: White, Cottell and Company, makers of vinegars and sauces, of 143 Neate Street, Camberwell (formerly established through a partnership between Edward White and Oswald Daines Cottell, vinegar brewers and merchants, at 101 and 103, Long Lane, Bermondsey. Partnership was dissolved in 1892), and London Essence Company Limited, manufacturers of fermented liquors and spirits. The latter was based at Lofresco Works, 53 Glengall Road, Peckham until 1940 when the factory was bombed and moved to Neate Street, Camberwell. John George White was chairman of London Essence Company Limited.

The acquisition of R White and Sons in the 1960s was in response to the creation of a new soft drinks division within Whitbread and Company that reflected the shift in emphasis of the business from making to selling.
