The Swan in City of London, Westminster

It was a nice place to get drunk! I thought the food was not up to standard. The lamb tasted like kofta but their nice staff made the visit very good anyway.

Very pretty pub with good beer options. We went on a Monday and it wasn't that crowded. Super friendly staff.

Exceptional, a real pub like you can't find anymore, stop for a burger and a pint of beer! has become an obligatory stop

Its a nice pub near hyde park and several hotels that open late at night. Friendly staff. Warm atmosphere. We didnt have a chance to try their food but drinks were good. Recommend it

More of a restaurant than a pub with most of it given over to table service. If you want more of a traditional relaxed pub feel it's probably better to head elsewhere.

A perfect place to go after exploring Lancaster Gate. The bar area is dog friendly too.

Classic pub experience. Not too expensive considering it's location. Great staff, good food and a great atmosphere.

A good place for you to bring your family

Delicious fish (haddock) and chips, with peas in a cosy atmosphere with excellwnt service.

Nice place and venue but bar staff don’t understand last order. Came in when bell rang, everyone drinking at the bar so had to queue, by the time we got to the front they wouldn’t serve. Interesting philosophy, wouldn’t recommend if you are a person who follows typical pub etiquette as they don’t understand it or follow it. Here is a list of pubs around the corner that are equally as good (or better): - Cleveland arms - The mitre - The Victoria - Pride of Paddington - The Prince of Wales - The Heron (great Thai food) - The Prince Alfred Try those for an equally as nice or better pub.

Lovely pub maintaining a traditional British atmosphere in the heart of London. Excellent service from the bartenders.

Very nice place, clean, friendly and helpful staff, clean bathrooms, excellent food

15:30, on a Tuesday afternoon, lovely place, quiet, great food and service, walked out of the Ivy restaurant to and came here, the Ivy was like waiting for food in a packed Primark, Excellent tunes on the radio, and you walk out onto Hyde park, 👍👍👍

We attended for a works do after visiting the Hyde Park Christmas bash. Drinks and food were good and service quick. My only complaint (and it's personal taste) is that your wings need more spice on them. Aside from that, an enjoyable visit, and thanks for laying on live music for us.

Great pub love coming here when visit from Manchester always go in here everyday Friday night to Sunday night just before head back to hotel hopefully be back in March clean place great service

Had our Christmas party here. Great service. Food brilliant - fish, beef and Xmas pudding. Well done to the staff at the Swan

Vegetarian options not acceptable

Amazing and Historical place at London 🫶🏼

Cozy pub, friendly staff, tasty pub food

Very surprised at the positive reviews here. On my visit the food was average at best. Sunday roast chicken was tough and dry, everything else was fine but not worth what they are charging. The presentation was somewhat sad. There are much better pubs in London that charge similar prices and you get a fantastic roast. Husband had the linguine bolognaise, which he said was ‘ok’ but again, the presentation made it look depressing. I can only surmise this place gets so much passing trade from tourists due to the location, so don’t feel the need to bother with decent food. Service was mixed, mostly friendly but the woman behind the bar was frosty. Popped my head upstairs and there is a beautiful room with balcony, but unfortunately this couldn’t tempt me back. Walked away feeling ripped off.

Good value for money next to Hyde Park and Kesington Gardens.

Beautiful venue! The staff is incredibly friendly and the menu is great! Definitely recommend this place!

Came for a quick drink. Beautiful old pub. Very cosy. Right on bayswater road. Nice beer garden out the front. Good choice of beers at reasonable London prices. I was very impressed by the service generally but especially from Amarillo (he said that was his name) I saw him help a lady out and really went above and beyond for this lady. A real credit to the place. Full credit.

Visited many times over the past week. Sat in the bar, on the patio and had full table service in the dining room. I would recommend every experience. The food is good. The service is great. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. We met many people during our visits and enjoyed our conversations with all of them. Dritain and the team took good care of us on every visit.

Delivery trucks consistently delivering to this pub completely block the cycle highway on the road in the mornings (when it’s most used) - never replied to my message when raised, please do better! Lots of alternatives/solutions come to mind, happy to chat

Tried fish and chips and was served a huge side of fish! Big enough to share. Very good flavor and coating.

First place we ate in London. Wonderful service and delicious menu choices. Great option if staying in Paddington.

Stop for a quick 🍺 and have some chips and stick sausage stuff friendly. The price is reasonable. #Foodie #Yummy #ChillTime

Very nice place that has its history. The food was a bit boring but the atmosphere and drinks were very good.

Perfect pub. Excellent cask ales.

Had the best roast chicken! It’s a great pub in good location across road from Hyde Park. The staff were efficient and friendly especially Indira.

Back in this amazing place after meeting here 21 years ago, Now here as a married couple, I know it took 21 years!!! lol There is a special place in our hearts for The swan Thank you for everything X

Very strong smell of fish inside the pub. I thought £17.85 a little steep for a pint and small glass of wine. Outside tables were very sticky and dirty. Standards have gone down hill since our last visit a couple of years ago.

Food was excellent. Had breakfast with my wife and really tasty and well cooked

Went there a couple of times during our vacation. The food was great and the location is good aswell. Nice looking interior. However the last time we tried to eat there we waited for over half an hour just to make an order, while many other guests even got their food during this time. So we left. Hopefully it was just that one time problem, besides that the staff is very nice and friendly.

Lovely spot. Had very Rivendell vibes with the rustling golden leaves falling outside.

Excellent breakfast but the menu on the website is not served. No fruit or pancakes and that's why we just went there for breakfast. It was located near the hotel. The price was disappointing if you went for pancakes at £5 and then got eggs at £13. Allergies: taken into account

Amazing location and atmosphere. Food was good. The Barman was a bit cranky

Great pub across from the park,food was very nice,service is top notch.

Cozy pub with history. Nice and rustic inside, outside terrace (facing the park) also great! Saturday live music. It was fun!!!

Great location and reasonably priced

A good place to rest from a walk through Hyde park

Wasn’t an overly memorable experience. I wouldn’t recommend as the food was unfortunately very average and expensive, especially for what it was. For example, I ordered roasted heritage carrots and got 4 small tasteless half sliced pieces of carrot. The others in my group were also not overly impressed with the taste and price of their meals.

We had fish and chips but dont like the test of the fish,but atmosphere and location is great

We are visiting from Boston, MA, USA with my husband and 9-months old daughter. We were just stopping for a quick drink before dinner and had very hard time finding a place to change our baby. There is no family room, no changing station in ladies’s room and impossible to do anything on the bathroom vanity counter. As we were seating outside with very few people around we have made an executive decision to quickly change crying baby wet diaper. We have a foldable changing thing on us and got the system down so it only took few mins. 2 max. As we were finishing up, a bartender who happened to seat outside drinking and smoking, started telling us in raised voice that what we are doing was unacceptable and should not be happening, and so on. Pretty much yelling at 2 adults almost double his age and a little baby. Even if baby changing made him unhappy, there are more appropriate ways to address that than yelling in front of people on a street. Well, I get it is a bar and I worked at the bar in my early years and had bunch of people visit with babies. Pretty much all bathrooms I have ever seen have these cheap and easy Koala changing stations, any pub I have seen. The Swan was an exception. So was rude bartender who finds it very appropriate to drink and smoke during his shift but not appropriate to change crying baby outside when no other options are available. Drinks are find btw and reasonable priced. Its just that service is rude and obnoxious.

Superb evening. We had excellent fish and chips. The welcome was very pleasant and we were even treated to a little concert by a singer.

I had lunch in this pub with a classic club sandwich, really excellent, accompanied by a classic Guinness. The value for money is in line with the city, even if the sandwich was far better and tastier than the others I tried.

Very good fish and ships! Nice atmosphere. Very good music!

Bar man ask team leader if hi can turn TV for England game, answer was NO ...nice

Unfortunately, the website is better than reality. The food is nothing special at all. The prices are excessively high. Unfortunately, the age of the pub alone is no guarantee of quality. It's a shame...I wanted something special for my birthday and unfortunately all I got was mediocre.

Upstairs quiet and comfortable. Downstairs real pub with good vibes. We had the Fish and Chips. Excellent

Nice Pub with a fine selection of beers. Didn't eat food though.

The absolute worst breakfast iv been served in London by far. Please don’t bother coming. Ordered the £13 smoked salmon on toast. This comes with nothing else. No cream cheese or scrambled egg or avocado. BUT you can add these things and pay more, so I did. I ordered some avocado as I think fish by itself on toast is not really a breakfast. I was presented with 1 slice of dry toast with slivers of cheap salmon on it and a little pot of processed guacamole. When I asked why the pot of guacamole the server said we don’t have any avocado (why is it on the menu?). Totally overpriced. Tiny portions. Processed cheap low effort food. Just don’t bother.

Nice pub with good beer and food. Friendly and quick service. Always pretty full in the evening (inside and outside).

Very cozy athmosphere. I like the interior decorating and especially the always popular and easy 90’s music which plays with just right volume. Not too loud to enable conversations but loud enough to listen.

Very nice pub on the banks of Hyde Park, with live music on weekends. 2 floors each with their own Terrace.

Perfect place to stop off for a quiet drink after a long day of walking around London. Loved the outdoor area with very comfortable seating that allowed us shelter from the rain but still enjoy being outdoors.

Overpriced and underdelivers. £18 overcooked medium sized burger, good service and an alright atmosphere.

Food was good but atmosphere and service nit great

Very friendly and cosy place with nice food.

Nothing special . Worthy of a note they have the cleanest loose I've ever seen in a London pub. Pity the glasses weren't the same.

Good food. Good service and nice place. Definitely stop in if you're hungry and nearby.

Au top ! Tout le charme des pubs anglais Accueil super sympa et des petits déjeuners très copieux !!!! À découvrir d’urgence

We had dinner Saturday night 14/09/24 at the room on the left at the back on ground floor, food was great and staff lovely we were all happy. The gentleman who seems to be in charge was very helpful and friendly.

We had an excellent meal at The Swan tonight. We all ordered different menu items. I had cod with sweet potato chips, wife had Chic BLT and brother steak with nachos. We all had salad . Wonderful tasting food. Hot food hot, cold food cold and beer was good too.

We décidéd to try for a pint before the hotel, luckily there was live music starting and found a seat for us. Good mushroom paste and such small dishes to try. Music was good.

Beautiful pub on Hyde Park with great service, drinks selection and food options. Worth a visit.

Great service, decent selection of pints (though mostly the old standbys), and clearly a decent place to go for a happy hour. It is Hyde Park so there were tons of suits around, which ruins the vibe for me but isn’t the pubs fault! It is a Fullers, so it feels about the same as others. With some local options around, I’d go to those instead.

Very busy, mainly with tourists with so many hotels just a pitching wedge away

Really nice pub, located a few minutes from our hotel Friendly staff, everything really clean and kept in an orderly manner: dinner with burgers, one of the best ever Abundant and truly delicious English breakfast We want to praise Suman, a great waiter: professional, very nice and truly kind We hope to return soon, it's our favorite pub

Discovered by chance, ate very well!

I think the reason the fish and chips here are so good is because I haven't tasted any other delicious fish and chips yet... It felt like they used bad oil and it was soggy. I wanted to get out quickly. It's not particularly friendly... I went there because there were a lot of people, but it's a place I'll never go to again. Oh, the peas that came with it were delicious.

Great place to relax after a stroll on Hyde Park

We just had a beer before dinner. Top atmosphere! Very good craft beer. It has both external and internal place. Advised.

Really nice place, has a balcony looking towards Hyde Park, pricey for drinks etc but it's in heart of London so to be expected

Cozy English pub. Just had a couple of beers.

Friendly staff and great atmosphere

Pub Food, Fuller’s beer and more. Fast service

Food and service recommended. But when the tables are all full (inside and outside), it is also quite loud.

Nice and clean. Great terrasse.

Nice beers and largers reasonably priced, friendly staff, fab location comfy...

Best in the pub scene. After a nice bike through Hyde park lunch at the Swan was perfect. Great friendly atmosphere. Outdoor seating is perfect in the summer.

Typical place with an incredible atmosphere! Expensive but quality food (to be noted!) and impeccable service The only downside is the road and the cars right in front, it's better inside ✅

Piccolo pub di fronte ad HYDE PARK con spazio all'aperto. Buona scelta di birre. Servizio machiavellico. Devo ordinare tutto al bancone dove ti chiedono il numero del tavolo che però sul tavolo non c'è. Paghi tutto prima e dopo un pò ti arriva il piatto. Scelta limitata con alcuni piatti terminati. Avrei preso un'altra birra ma non avevo voglio di rifare il gioco dell'oca. Il salmone era buono

Surprisingly good for how close it is to Hyde Park. Pretty views from the upper terrace but seating near the bar is nice too. Good selections of beers on tap. We had the fish and chips which were really good. Fries were cooked crispy on the outside but soft inside, perfect!

My wife and I visited London for a long weekend in August 24. The Sunday roast they advertised as the best in London! Quite a boast, but we decided to take the restaurant at its word. Without doubt, it was the worst Sunday roast I have ever been served. First of all, there was no roast beef option - it had sold out - so I opted for the roast pork option and my wife roast chicken. The roast pork had been completely overcooked, tough as `old boats`, cabbage was also overcooked to mush, apple sauce was stale and tasteless, and the Yorkshire pudding was burnt and hard as cardboard, carrots overdone, weird tasting potatoes from a tin which they roasted, can`t even be bothered to make proper roast potatoes - while the gravy was synthetic, unpleasant and made out of a packet. How hard can it be to caramelise the meat and use the meat juices and stock as a basis to a gravy? My wife was served overcooked grey coloured chicken drumsticks, and all the other trimmings which were all badly cooked. You would expect a chicken roast to have white breast meat but no, they served up cheap, tough chicken drumsticks. The meal was the worst I have ever been served in a restaurant, I wouldn`t serve that rubbish to my dog. Even after complaining to the waiter and telling him what we thought of the food and how terrible it was, we were still still given the bill for the full price of that muck - no reduction was given despite sending back plates of uneaten food. I bitterly regret paying the bill and wish should have refused to, but did so just to get out of there. Advice to diners, do give this place a miss it will leave you with a very disappointing dining experience. After leaving we went to another restaurant (Park Restaurant, Bayswater Road), where we had a great meal.

We always go to The Swan, near Hyde Park, as it’s on our way to and from Central London home. We love the atmosphere and the staff is always so friendly. We meet a lot of nice people visiting London or living in the area, like we do.

A very nice pub, great atmosphere with good beers and food if you are hungry. I didn't give the best rating for the atmosphere because it's really noisy. Both inside and outside.

Nice pub, good friendly staff, can fully recommend

Server was very rude. Brought a meal we didn't order and got mad when we told him that we didn't order it. Had to argue for a few minutes.

Likte dette stedet . Greie folk typisk Engelsk god atmosfære . Fikk lett kontakt og ok mat . Litt slitt uteplass men helt greit .

Last minute decision to go to the Swan. Food was delicious…we had the chicken breast and the London Pride beef pie, both were amazing! However, service was superb thanks to our new friend Krupa, who couldn’t be more accommodating!!!

A nice large pub close to the parks. Traffic noise out front but otherwise very pleasant. Great food selection and Fullers on tap.

One of the great places on London.. The Vips here WAW.

We had a staff party there, and it was a great experience. We're well served and they ensured everyone is happy.

This pub is extremely popular with the tourists and for some reason they always order fish and chips, and wait for it, coffee. Good pints and service can be found at this Fuller’s pub. #pint #pub #londonpub Avoid the Sunday roast beef, tough and very tough.

A classic Fuller bar. 12 beers on tap. Staff was welcoming and beer was fresh

Really great Fish n chips and great drinks go every year in July 3 years in a row

Nice pub. Cosy atmosphere. Straight forward food. Sufficient Breakfast/Brunch menu. Polite staff. Terrace at a busy road. Lovely place for a short brake.

While on Buisness, I visited the Swan Pub near Hyde Park London, great atmosphere, although I didn't have food, I was told by guests that it's very nice
