About this place The White Swan

The White Swan, a three-floor LGBTQ+ spot in London's City area, feels like a pub you've known forever, but with more room to stretch out. You walk into a traditional pub on the ground floor. Think pints, chatter, that kind of thing. Up a few steps, there's a mezzanine, good for a bit more space when it gets busy. Then, on the first floor, a dining room. So, you can pop in for a quick drink or settle in for a meal, all under one roof. London's gay scene has everything from basements to rooftop bars, and The White Swan fits right in with its unpretentious, old-school pub feel. It’s the sort of place that’s easy to drop into, whether you live down the street or you're just passing through. The different levels mean you can find your own corner, no matter if you're alone or with a crowd. You'll find it at 108 Fetter Lane, Greater London. Check their site at thewhiteswanlondon.com for details before you go.

We wanted to find a restaurant/pub with the old English charm and we found that at the White Swan. The food was amazing and our waiter Dom was extremely attentive to our questions and needs. The service was fast and efficient. Really enjoyed our evening, thank you Dom for giving us the dinning experience we were looking for. 🍁

Lovely old pub with genuine character and great atmosphere.. we were served by Anusha who was extremely kind welcoming and efficient an asset to our overall experience. We would like to point out that we previously visited Mr Foggs a pub just a hundred yards away... We paid just under £20 for a 440ml bottle of Stella and a single vodka and coke. I nearly fell over at the price and questioned it, I was met with some hostility that I had the audacity to question the price, I honestly thought that's made a mistake and I was abruptly told the prices were reflective of all the pubs in the area. So tonight we visited the closest pub to test this theory. We were charged exactly £5.70 less at The White Swan compared to Mr Foggs... Ironically we eventually spent a lot more in The white Swan and the drinks didn't taste quite so bitter knowing you were not being ripped off

I had dinner with friends here before a show and the award-winning pie was absolutely delicious. I did feel it could have come with some greens on the side but it was still delicious. Our waiter Harry was also really nice and helpful and helped make our experience feel easy.
