AVOID-we went last night friday, tried 3 beers all were flat, vinegar, very badly kept, the 'landlord' -( use the term loosely!) said nothing, we had a Youngs which was very average.
Then a fight nearly broke out, everyone was visibly upset, the 'landlord' just put the offenders at different ends of the pub!A couple complained about the wine, eventually got a refund and left.
The barstaff and 'landlord' just laughed about it, probably thinking you dare to come in here expecting good service, beer and wine and then complain-HA
The toilets were disgusting, dirty, smelly, graffitti, damp walls, need of a good o lick of paint.
7 Americans came in for dinner, the landlord' told them to get their own menus, they made their choice, went to the bar to order, the'landlord' said, "No snack food only"! and this was 8.15 at night, welcome to London
AVOID THIS PUB
The White Swan is one of the most dire pubs in London. The list of failings is almost too long and too boring to outline: beer poorly kept, dingy interior, dirty bogs, nasty food, very smoky despite large size. Avoid the White Swan if you possibly can.
