The Swan in Bayswater is one of London's most famous pubs, a landmark, and the only pub overlooking Kensington Gardens.  Built in the early 1600s, we underwent a massive refurbishment in 2006 following a flood.  A traditional feel has been retained, with an island bar and leather padded seating.  The impressive heated patio seats 122 people along with a balcony for a further 40!  History has it that prisoners were brought here for a final drink before being taken to the hanging tree at Marble Arch!  Hence the origin of the sayings 'one for the road' which is the last drink ever and 'on the wagon' which refers to being taken away for the last time!  On a happier note, we are now renowned for the excellent food we serve from our own menu which includes many homemade dishes and a daily Carvery.  There is good quality wine to complement the meal or a fine selection of draught beers and real ales at the bar.  Being so central, the vast majority of our clientele are visitors and tourists.  If you are coming to London, don't forget to receive your warm, hospitable welcome from the helpful team at The Swan.
