R. White's is a British brand of a carbonated lemonade, which is produced and sold in the United Kingdom by Britvic. Robert and Mary White produced the first R. White's lemonade in Camberwell, south London, in 1845. [1] The White Family took over H. D. Rawlings Ltd. in 1891, the year that it was incorporated—a merger which made White's the biggest soft drinks company in London and the south-east—and then R. White & Sons Ltd. was itself incorporated in 1894. [2] [3] The company was taken over by Whitbread in the 1960s, and was later absorbed by Britvic in 1986, when Britvic and Canada Dry Rawlings Ltd. merged.

By 1869, the company had five production units and 16 depots across the Midlands and South East of London.

In 1871 they open a factory in Cunard Street – where the multi-cultural garden stands today, behind Chumleigh Gardens. R White & Sons was awarded the licence to distribute Kops Ale, a non-alcoholic beer, in the London district from 1892. The Kops Brewery business was acquired outright in 1898.

The popular “Secret Lemonade drinker” television advertising campaign was launched in 1973. It continued to air until 1984. The secret lemonade drinker was reintroduced in 1993, starring actor & comedian Julian Dutton as the eponymous Secret Lemonade Drinker, and various celebrities have featured in the commercials including comedians Ronnie Corbett and Frankie Howerd, actor Nicholas Parsons, tennis player John McEnroe and footballers turned pundits Ian St John and Jimmy Greaves. One version dubbed the advert entirely in Japanese; another version had another sultry woman appear randomly to kiss Dutton (before he is rejoined by a lookalike of Harriet Philpin), while yet another featured the animation of Mr Benn.
