Built in 1851 and formerly known as the Swan, this is one of London's Real Heritage Pubs. The City Pub Co did a reasonably good job refurbishing what had frankly become a rather tired location.The impressive bar-back and rare snob-screen survived and the whole place was opened up, although sadly the "Swan" light-fittings above the eastern windows vanished in the refurb. It is now a typical gastro-pub, but none the worse for that as the local area goes up-market. The first-floor restaurant, with open kitchen, has its own bar although the two hand pumps are currently unused.

The beer range on the ground floor veers towards pale ales rather than bitters. Food includes Sunday roasts.

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

This friendly, street-corner pub built in 1850 has one outstanding feature – a bar-back of exceptional ornateness. It has a series of round columns with florid Corinthian capitals below a broad frieze terminating in a band of ornament. The various round-headed projections on the columns have long been a mystery. Near the bottom of each is also a short round stub. And if you take a close look at the servery you’ll see it has been cut back around the modern opening to the inner room. A column has been removed. On the underside of the cornice you’ll spot a hole. It’s possible that all this means that there was once a gravity-feed system for spirits and wines (housed above the bar) which were fed down the pipes in the hollow columns to cocks on the stubs. Note also the pretty stained glass panels of swans which relate to the old name of the pub which changed in the late 1980s. The snob screens to the rear room are a modern bit of re-Victorianisation.
