The Swan in City of London, Westminster

We had a light lunch upstairs and the staff were attentive and helpful. The meals were cooked nicely and portion sizes as expected.

Great place close to underground station just amazing overall

Popular pub with views of Hyde Park from upstairs dining room. Often have live music evenings.

It's fine The brisket and cheddar bites were not good, could not find any cheese in them Beer obviously good

this place will always have a soft spot in my heart. look how tiny my leek pie is

This pub has more than 300 years of history and stands alongside Hyde Park, the royal park where the world's first World's Fair was held. Hyde Park was originally the place where London's criminals were hanged, and the Swan was there as a place where they could have a final drink. The prison guard would carry the criminal in a horse-drawn carriage to the gallows and give the criminal a final drink by ordering a beer "one for the road." It is said that this is where expressions like "on the road" and "on the wagon" were born. I ordered lamb and beef, and both were delicious. The lamb was very tender and melted in the mouth. The beef was very filling. Both went well with red wine. The interior is relaxed, and there are times when they have live music.

The staff has a can do positive manner, with smiles and a wonderful welcome. Puvesh was wonderful checking we were happy from the start to the finish. Food was delicious hot and tasty well done chef. The best part of the experience was we arrived at 9:15 pm and the team could not have been keener to serve. Thank you all at the Swan.

We love this place, there is great live music in the evenings, it is perfect to sit in the garden, I tasted a lot of beers, the employees are very kind, if you are nearby, definitely go, it has a very nice atmosphere during the day.

Food was ok. Went for lunch. They can't make a Ceaser Salad, that was terrible. The beef pie and mash was good but a little on the pricy side. The cheese burger was average. No atmosphere what so ever. Best spot to sit is upstairs on the balcony. Would I recommend it. Not really. Would I go there again, No. Staff very friendly!

One of my favorite pubs, clean and very welcoming, Wide choice of food and beers

Absolutely fantastic evening at The Swan, Hyde Park! The atmosphere was vibrant, the staff friendly, and the service spot on. What truly made the night unforgettable was the live singer—utterly astonishing talent who had the entire pub captivated. Their voice brought so much energy and soul, creating the perfect vibe. Great drinks, cosy setting, and top-tier entertainment. A must-visit spot in London for a memorable night out. Five stars well deserved!

A pleasant place to drink beer opposite Hyde park

Upscale pub at Hyde Park. Very nice atmosphere, well located and very friendly service. However, also a bit more expensive.

Habíamos reservado una cena temprano antes de un concierto en el otro lado de la ciudad. Elegí la ensalada Niçoise de salmón, salmón caliente y papas, ensalada fresca y un delicioso aderezo. Todo el plato estaba delicioso. Mi marido se dejó llevar por un favorito personal, el sándwich BLT. Una vez más esto fue perfecto. El servicio fue amable y eficiente a pesar de que el pub estaba ocupado incluso en ese momento de la tarde y, aparte de una decisión del gerente de mover todas las mesas y sillas a nuestro alrededor para acomodar un gran paseo en la fiesta que era ligeramente molesto y muy perjudicial para nuestro disfrute, tuvimos una buena comida y sin duda volveremos a visitar.

Recommend by our hotel concierge as very close for food and booze. No reservation, just walk in. Limited seating out front more on 2d deck. Good weather most will probably drink at picnic tables in front or on the 2d floor balcony. Order put on tablet for kitchen and pay bill with remote device. See photos 📸 posted.

A true gem right across from Hyde Park! We enjoyed two delicious Full English Breakfasts paired with an orange juice, a cranberry juice, a tea, and a coffee. Every bite was perfect, and the service was simply impeccable. A warm and welcoming establishment that we highly recommend!

Very good Indian cuisine, friendly service. A real pleasant surprise.

Terrible acercamiento al cliente. La comida y la ubicación son increíbles, pero el personal no está dispuesto a servir al cliente, pero para mostrar „este es mi pub”. No vayas allí si no quieres tener una porción de negatividad y comportamiento irrazonable contigo.

We ordered two fish and chips, generous portions and tasty. Very few vegetarian options... just a hummus and some pickled onions.. Nice location, really nice upstairs terrace overlooking Hyde Park. Nice choice of beers, even pump draft.

Miserable client experience delivered by the barman and his manager proven to be of same quality

We went to have a few beers on the terrace because of its proximity to Hydepark. Good craft IPA beer. Good atmosphere to have a drink in the afternoon and finish with dinner

Didn't eat, a late stop in for beer, great outside area, nice selection of beer. Smoking allowed.

Mi pareja y yo pasamos una noche en este pub y realmente lo disfrutamos. El ambiente era fantástico, animado sin ser demasiado ruidoso, y tenía una sensación muy acogedora y acogedora. La comida era genial, con un montón de opciones abundantes y bien cocinadas que dieron en el lugar. También apreciamos el servicio amable y el ambiente relajado, que hizo que fuera fácil relajarse y disfrutar. En general, una noche muy divertida.

Very tasty fish and chips with local beer, service very friendly, very fast - everything was great :)

atmospheric, nice place and nice staff, good free wifi

Very cute place with a fun atmosphere. Perfect location for a drink or bite to eat overlooking the park!

Cozy pub, just opposite hyde park on bayswater road. Delicious pub food and good beer

Very lovely pub/terrace next to Hyde park. Had a couple of pints and some chips The pings in blanket did not really follow a standard recipe but they were good. Will probably visit again

Excellent pub, excellent atmosphere, I highly recommend!

We came with our musician friends, the PUB is great! The crazy atmosphere. It’s a really nice place, I recommend it. If you have the opportunity to go there you will certainly love it.

Nuestra familia disfrutó de la cena en The Swan después de un día ocupado viendo los sitios. El pescado con papas fritas fue un éxito entre los niños con una porción masiva. Tuve el asado del domingo. Sin duda recomendaría una visita.

We had lunch twice in this traditional pub. The fare was deliciously British. Great place!

Preciosa ubicación. Personal amable. Muy buen precio. £ 18 para el desayuno, la tira más delgada de tocino. Pedí dos desayunos y dos bebidas y la friolera de £ 7 + se añadió en un cargo por servicio! Indignante. ¡Esto es un pub! Tiene una historia muy interesante y es agradable por dentro.

I couldn’t help thinking that people only rate the fish and chips here because they haven’t tried better elsewhere… The oil didn’t seem great quality and the whole thing felt a bit soggy. I just wanted to leave as soon as possible. The staff weren’t particularly friendly either. I only went because it was busy, but I definitely won’t be going back. That said, the mushy peas on the side were actually quite nice.

Such a lovely place! The atmosphere is cozy, the service is friendly, and everything feels well thought out. I really liked it — great spot to relax, have a coffee, and enjoy some food. Would definitely come back!

Great atmosphere across from Hyde Park!!

We stopped here for a couple of drinks after a long day of walking and sightseeing. Odetta was so lovely and welcoming and extremely friendly. We’ll be back!

Ive had drinks here multiple times and its really nice during a sunny day. Drinks a bit expensive ~£8 for a pint

Super small portions makes this tourist trap an expensive meal that doesn’t fill you up. Good location and outside seating is nice but very underwhelming portions — so much so we thought we had received a kids meal. Very expensive for what you get.

Drinks were so good and their mash sausage and potatoes were amazing! Shruti Molly were so lovely. I would 100% recommend this place!

Fantastic Pub with a terrace in front of hyde park, joyful ambient and helpful staff. Recommeded either you are local or visitor of the area

Excellent place, very good food, fantastic service, a contagious atmosphere with good energy. Excellent for getting to know a bit of London's nightlife.

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Pie was one of the best I’ve had. Very busy, which is always a good sign.

We were treated wonderfully by Joy and Haman. They treated us wonderfully!!!

I popped in for a drink and was pleasantly surprised by the ambience. Friendly staff, good service, and a clean environment. I will visit again when I have more time.

A beautiful restaurant near Hyde Park. Two floors and a cozy terrace will satisfy any taste.

I stopped off after a tough evening at work, followed by a run round Hyde Park. A really nice pub, excellent staff with a welcoming atmosphere. I can recommend a visit for drinks and food. I never had food, yet excellent smells were coming from the kitchen. The Chef had entered the bar area and he had the look of being a proper chef, not a microwave jockey.

The worst beer I've had in years. No recommendation

The service, food and atmosphere was fantastic.

I was in this pub when I visited London a few years ago, we stopped for dinner on the way back to the hotel because we liked the food, the atmosphere and the live music. Highly recommended. This summer we are returning but we are bringing our 10-year-old daughter. Could she come in during dinner time?

A standard pub next to the park. Inside, a large, labyrinthine space with many different groups of tables. A few local beers and a line of kv drinks, the familiar same. Also food available. Local sausages with "mustard sauce" work just fine. Large shaded terrace. Sports on TV. A bit more expensive than normal, probably due to the large number of tourists in the park.

The food was what you would expect from pub food. Only major issue was onion rings were very oily. I'd visit again.

Nice pub next to Hyde Park, we had breakfast on the terrace, good food and very good service. Excellent coffee.

The Sunday roast is very tasty! It was completely complete and there were several variants. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant.

What a great environment with a lovely staff. We had lunch, and of course the old school Fish and Chips and a few days later the other English menu. This evening was indeed very special with a great hospitality. You do have in the front a bar and in the back the restaurant. Please make a reservation because there are some best seats. When you go to the first floor, there is a very nice view over the park. A great decoration and a very nice hospitality makes The Swan very specials we are looking forward to meet you again!

Busy, but the staff was attentive and the food was great. Recommended!

Breakfast was ok but a bit pricey for what it was

I was in there for my lunch the food was great but there is a lady with a pink hair scarf on filming people while us was enjoying or ur food the only thing I don’t like she keeps calling herself roots darling was a disappointment after a business meeting listening to her going on an on with the phone al we wanted was a good meal

Pub, very well decorated English with restaurant service on the top floor with views of Hyde Park, affordable price

Great meals, had to back 2 days later for another lovely meal.

Didn't eat but been here a few times for drinks. Lovely pub in a great spot with outdoor and indoor seating. Has everything you need really. There's Lucky Saint for no and low alcohol drinkers. The outside is large and they show the live sport and it gets a clientele both local and not, great staff. Don't sleep on this one. I can't give five stars as not sure on the food - I have not tried it - but there's no flaws

Great pub with a typical atmosphere. Food is good and not too expensive. Highly recommended.

The very thin roast/steak pieces had lots of gristle around. The potatoes were perfectly roasted. The fish & chips was alright. Cozy environment. Dog friendly; not kid friendly.

Gran comida, grandes bebidas, gran servicio, gran todo. sin duda volveremos y presentaremos este maravilloso pub a más amigos y familiares.

Quiet Sunday afternoon, fancied a roast, fullers is normally a good choice but unfortunately not today. I ordered the roast beef, beef was burnt, cold, asked for no cabbage and I’ve never seen more on a plate. I ate it as I was starving, service was good, but other than that it was such a disappointing meal. £22 pounds for a slab of beef full of fat and burnt, yikes.

Very good vibes. Very good burguer. Nice staff! Felt well taken care of with Andy.

This is a favourite from the 80’s still coming back from Australia after all these years good ale nice food friendly staff

Had the most delicious Sunday roast dinner - wonderful service and cozy atmosphere 👍

The terrace upstairs is exceptional! 🩵

Great pub across the street from Hyde Park. There’s plenty of seating and in the warmer months, you can have a table on the patio outside with a view of the park. Highly recommended!

Plastic in the overpriced meal is not the way to go. Yes ,a small plastic tube in the "Winter Greens"

Excellent food, simply the best pie I’ve ever had, reasonably priced and staff were very helpful.

Nice food and beer selection but overpriced, and they will charge you a service fee of 6 GBP. Also, we saw a mouse running around.

We were upstairs for a quiz night. Lots of fun and staff were great

We did enjoy our food here! Typical British pub that offers a good selection of English dishes, all very well cooked and tasty. The restaurant has many seats and has an unique style. Price-quality ratio is satisfying. Staff is nice and kind.

Pleasant atmosphere and really delicious food!

We just got a few pints, no food, nice spot

Very nice two-floors pub, conveniently located next to Hyde Park and Lancaster Gate station. Very nice staff, good food, an outdoor area and plenty of space. Also they are dog friendly.

We just had a coffee and a cappuccino. Good value for money, very well received. The place is very atypical English. Very Nice Pub.

English pub from the Fuller's group in front of Lancaster Gate in Hyde Park. The establishment preserves its historical aesthetics and serves high-quality food and drinks. The staff is very friendly and it is worth stopping by if you pass by.

Very cozy and once again a normal pub

Nice place, good decoration and good food menu. On weekends with live music.

We were there twice. Once for Sunday Roast, which is highly recommended, and once for dinner. The dishes were great and the waitresses were on point and friendly.

Superb historic pub, good real ale, and perfect location (right next to hyde Park.

Superb pub on the edge of Hyde Park. Very friendly staff.

Excellent pub: delicious dishes, good service, and a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere! Highly recommended!🤩

I was at the pub and we got excellent food there was a good service and it was a very welcoming place. Reccomend it !😋

Excellent breakfast, friendly staff

A través de los años desde 2004-2024 este pub sigue siendo uno de mis pubs favoritos en el centro de Londres, he pasado por muchos directivos y personal a través de los últimos 20 años en este pub! Sigo siendo un cliente fiel, pero los precios de la comida, especialmente el camino del domingo que paga £ 22. 50 más cargo por servicio 12. Un 5 % es demasiado, es absolutamente loco , para una pequeña porción , 2 rodajas de ternera fina y media chirivía , una zanahoria 4 patatas asadas para pagar 22 £ , 50 más 7 £ . 50 🍺 una pinta! y ya no hay camino de cerdo! ¡Podría no ser Halal! ¡Pero debe haber algo detrás! ¡Sin embargo, necesito que me devuelvan mi cargo por servicio porque es ilegal! Sabía que el personal era agradable y educado, pero debería informarme antes de empezar a cenar.

A cosy and beautiful place on Sunday with Christmas around the corner. Recommend.

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 nice pub with good beer options. We went on a Monday and it wasn't that crowded. The waiters were very good-humoured.

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.

A good place for you to bring your family

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

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.

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