White Swan in City of London, Westminster

Nice neighborhood pub with the perfect sized crowd…not too packed…not too dead. Good selection of beers, including quite a few cask ales. Friendly staff. Decent food. I’ll be back! Cheers.

It was very noisy, busy yet staff were attentive still. I like this pub.

Great place for a few drinks and a bite to eat. Went there with a colleague and friend a week ago and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The ales were abundant and plentiful. I ordered a plate of halloumi chips, delicious. Really nice location too, very close to Pimlico train station.

Yummy cod goujons and steak sandwiches for lunch after a visit to the Tate.

Called in on a Saturday prior to a remembrance parade. Busy with participants. Friendly atmosphere.

Very nice pub, really nice service and great atmosphere

Typical pub with delicious food, cheerful service, rustic atmosphere. Just the right way to end a day in London. Only the music was a little too loud for conversation.

As an American who travels to London multiple times a year (not bragging, setting the scene), I have had a LOT of fish and chips. Mainly because I'm hunting for something that actually lives up to the hype. Well, look no further. Whether you are new to London or not, these are NOT your British uncle's traditionally bland F&C's. These are the ones you have been looking for. They will change your life. They will not disappoint. I couldn't tell you what the rest of the menu is like, but honestly, who cares. You are here for the Fish and Chips. You can thank me later.

The food is SO GOOD!! Loved the pies and the draft beers.

Cozy atmosphere. Perhaps because the room was full, the service took a little longer than expected.

We went to the pub for a beer Super cozy, you immediately feel at home Staff was also very friendly Conclusion: perfect place for a break

Amazing staff, drinks and great venue. Couldn’t recommend more 5/5

Good place to have a few beers where you can watch football but only English football

Decent pub. Watched football, good beers had tasty lunch.

Went in for lunch. Blade of beef pie was great, lots of flavour the other two poes were bland. Salmon was ok but needed less oil.

Stumbled upon this place walking home from a tour on our trip to London. It was our favorite meal of our entire honeymoon!! We got the witch’s brew to drink, sausages, chicken tenders and chicken pot pie. Maybe it’s because we’re American but man I’ll remember the pot pie forever :)

Been here multiple times decent food great stuff 😄

Really nice pub, lots of good McMullen’s beer but great selection of others too

Nice little pub with very good food and drinks. Service was great even though the pub was very full in the evening. If you go in the evening, you should definitely reserve a table.

We stopped in for a couple of drinks before heading to the hotel. Great atmosphere and time. We will probably be back. #somanypubssolittletime

Good place. Fun atmosphere... Seems like a lot of locals.

Hice una reserva de última hora (bueno, para una hora después) un viernes por la noche. Estábamos en nuestro hotel a 5 minutos y no teníamos planes de cena, así que encontré este lugar e hice una reserva. Entramos y vinimos al pub. No había nadie en la puerta, lo que parecía ser la norma en otros lugares. Nos sentamos unos minutos y asumimos que nadie iba a venir a nosotros, así que fui al bar y dije que tenía reservas para la cena. Parecía inesperado y la joven acudió a quien supondría que es el gerente del bar y preguntó por ello. Definitivamente no nos esperaban. Terminé pidiendo en el bar para nosotros y subimos (mucho menos ruidoso) y encontramos una mesa. A partir de este momento, todo fue genial. Comí el pollo Hunters (pollo, salsa barbacoa, tocino y queso) con papas fritas. Mi compañero tenía tiras de pollo y papas fritas. La comida salió rápido y como ya pagamos, comimos y salimos de allí. Fue una buena parada, algo desorganizada, pero todo salió bien. La comida era buena y era un lugar animado seguro.

Muy bonito pub. Buena selección de ales bien cuidados. Pero he estado allí varias veces por la noche y me parece que tocan la música demasiado fuerte, lo que dificulta tener una conversación con tus amigos... tal vez me estoy haciendo viejo.

We came to get some supper. Maybe this is how it always is or maybe it was just the day we were there but it was extremely loud in there. It felt like everyone was trying to talk louder than the person next to them. We ended up sitting upstairs so it was a bit quieter. The place was nice and the food was good.

Great beers and fish & chips. Excellent pub.

Four of us had lunch here on a weekday. Service and atmosphere all fine. Food was incredibly disappointing. There a lots of good reviews on here, so we perhaps got them on an off day; I hope the owner will sit down to review the bangers and mash, which appeared to have motor oil as gravy, and the floppiest veg I've ever come across.

Visited for a drink only on a Tuesday evening so can't comment on food. Music was pretty dreadful and pointlessly loud (Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick etc really doesn't need to be rammed into my ears). My mate had to send his pint of ale back as it was off and undrinkable and my pint was slightly on the turn too. Wouldn't return

Previously I had the very special fish and chips and loved it. I will be coming back for that again. Today i tried a chicken burger, but i couldn't work out how you are supposed to eat it, It's so tall you can't possibly get it into you mouth. I ended up taking it apart and eating with knife and fork. The taste wasn't anything special, disappointing, messy and difficult to eat and cost £17.

It happens in life that you find yourself in London for your 50th birthday and come across a pub after several hours spent visiting the city. After being at the White Swan I am still certain of an excellent welcome, delicious food and exclusive beer... Thanks guys! An indelible memory! Giampy (Italy)

I walked there from TATE BRITAN. First UK PUB First time trying FISH & CHIPS. It is a style where you order food and drinks at the counter each time. The food is also delicious. The store staff are also friendly and great And the BGM music is also great! ! ! My ideal London was here. I want to go again!

Since this was Sunday dinner, you order at bar and delivered to table. Highly recommend the meat pies and pulled ales, need to come back for fish and chips. Demiglace on both pies was spot on. Vanilla custard just needed a little more bean and it would be perfect. Likewise, don't expect an American apple pie, this is more like quince but didn't have any nutmeg or cinnamon. Several television sfor sports but music mainly played in the restaurant and can be quite loud.

Very average. Bland and noisy.

As an American tourist staying in the Pimlico area of London, I wanted a neighborhood pub experience. Most of all, I wanted great fish and chips! I got Both. I had read reviews praising the fish and chips and they were spot on!

Top notch dishes! Fish & chips and steak, highly recommended

Chicken in the hunter chicken was dry, and chicken tikka masala was a disaster: almonds on top to hide the fact it wasn’t good, the sauce was more of a paste than a sauce and flavourless. Also as a picky eater, the mango chutney was touching half the dish, completely putting me off

Good food, food range of decent beers.

Delightful staff and great food. Very friendly pub

Good beer selection I definitely recommend

Nice bright pub. Plenty of beer options, good food and friendly service.

Good pub, would give it 4 or 5, but they choose to play random football on full blast and say they can't turn it down as 2 people have booked a table to watch it apparently. What a load of cobblers. Bad customer service. Thanks for the headache.

Football screens (even two different matches at the same time) good selection

Just a classic pub. Perfect for a guy from Portland. Good beer, atmosphere was perfect and the service was nice. Food is pub style

Great for live sport with all the screens and very helpful and friendly staff.

Friendly service, great atmosphere

Went here after work for a few pints to watch the euros and it is always a great pub, not sure who the young lady that served us was called on the bar but she was great!

Good food and an excellent range of beers. We ate upstairs and had excellent service to the table via an app. Football (Euro 24) was on downstairs which made it a bit noisy.

Lovely local pub Only 1 criticism, please play better music.

Great food and really cool atmosphere! Location is perfect.

Reservamos el almuerzo del domingo para dos. El lugar estaba vacío, tal vez 6 - 10 otros clientes, así que no hay razón para una experiencia tan pobre. Pedí pan y cebo blanco, pollo asado y un plato principal de verduras. TODOS los platos llegaron a la mesa juntos! Comenté que no habíamos esperado tener todo a la vez (servidor era la misma persona que tomó el pedido y claramente sabía que era una comida para dos) respondió "Lo entiendo, puedo tomar la red de nuevo y mantenerlos calientes si quieres". ¿Quién estaría feliz de haber pagado por la comida, sabiendo que se mantiene caliente mientras comes entrantes? Nunca devuelvo la comida una vez que está en la mesa (¡problemas de confianza!) así que decliné esto. Resultó que 'caliente' era optimista, mientras que el cebo blanco era delicioso y caliente toda la comida en el plato de pollo asado era tibia en el mejor de los casos, me comí tal vez la mitad del pollo como tenía hambre, calificaría la calidad de la comida como pobre en todo este plato. La verdura principal también era tibia aunque sabrosa. El mismo servidor volvió a preguntar 'cómo estaba la comida' y muy amablemente dije que el asado era promedio en el mejor de los casos y la comida apenas estaba caliente, felicitamos el cebo blanco y el sabor del plato de verduras. Se disculpó y se fue. Más tarde, mientras despejaba la mesa, se disculpó nuevamente y dijo que había actualizado al Gerente. Aquí es donde me siento más agraviado... nos quedamos unos 15 minutos más terminando nuestras bebidas y, aunque el pub permaneció casi vacío, el gerente no pudo venir y abordar estos problemas. Nos fuimos, no volveremos...

First time in London and the first time eating fish and chips in London. The fish was good and loved the crunchy fries. It's a pub so the music is loud. They have an upstairs that's not as noisy, but music is loud. The service was good. I had to go down to the bar to place an order, but they delivered it upstairs for you.

Pasé a almorzar después de visitar la Tate y encontré un muy buen pub de hecho. Sándwiches de tamaño decente, una hermosa ensalada crujiente recién hecha que fácilmente cubría mis cinco al día. Pedí una ensalada de acompañamiento para mi amiga pero cuando dijo que preferiría papas fritas manager lo cambió sin problemas. El buen McMullen amargo, también. Espacioso y limpio, pantalla jugando al tenis, pero estaba silenciado, así que no se inmiscuyó en la conversación. Estoy de vuelta en el Tate en julio, así que sé dónde será el almuerzo para probar algunas de las otras ofertas en el menú.

This is a good pub and the beer is decent, a good place to come to with some friends for a drink. The staff are friendly and attentive. Their food is the weak spot, I had the pie taster, which was ropey with dried out mash potato and pie pastry that was equally dry. Overall a good boozer with average pub grub.

Food was amazing, mum had ham egg and chips which she loved, I had the fish and chips I can honestly say it was the best I've had in long time. Servers were lovely also.

Yes yes yes. Fun vibe, great service and food was fantastic! Stop in for a drink, quick bite or dinner.

A nice pub with a good atmosphere

Ordered two small plates - and was still waiting for it after 30 mins. Staff were offhand and pub was quiet - blamed single orders for the delay!

The portion size is for children. 3 bites of steak and a handful of chips for £22. Still hungry.

As an American, I HAD to try the fish and chips and I was ABSOLUTELY IMPRESSED! I don't generally enjoy fried fish, so I was already a bit skeptical of the dish, but White Swan made me understand what all the fuss is about! Great food, amazing service, lively atmosphere and friendly patrons make this a must visit!

Busy outside but not so bad if you want to dine or drink inside. Service was quick and order was as expected. Good friendly staff

Great service, good food and amazing service! A special shout out to the floor star and Freddy!

Came in with a group of friends just to stop by for a drink and ended up having the best time! The band was incredible, the cocktails were super yummy, and the food was the best (I recommend the nachos). Livia makes the best espresso martinis and the bar staff were very friendly. 10/10 would come back again :)

I had a fantastic experience at The White Swan in Pimlico. The atmosphere was lively and cozy, ideal for a relaxing evening. The burger and fries I ordered were delicious—juicy and perfectly cooked. The pints we had were refreshing and complemented the meal well. Our server, Olivia was also very nice and provided excellent service throughout our visit, making us feel welcomed and ensuring we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a great pub in Pimlico, The White Swan is definitely worth a visit!

Firstly, Website lists a kid menu, so assumed it was kid friendly, it is not. When we popped in was told they don’t have a kids menu at all, nothing really suitable for kids at all except fries on the menu. I tried to order via the app that you need to download to order from the table, but the app doesn’t list everything that they sell. Juices not all listed, cordials missing, certain draught missing, etc. Food came quickly, once we had managed to place an order at the bar, but my wife’s CBLT sandwich (aka Club any other part of the world) was tough as shoe leather (think the cook used a steak weight to cook quickly). She ended up just pulling it out and eating the rest. Went to order a desert, no kids ice cream even through the menu online and app both said they sold it, and the toffee cheesecake was in fact passion fruit. In short, could be a nice pub but seems poorly run. There seems to be mismanagement at this bar as the menu, app and website are not aligned, which makes for a frustrating experience and the confusion around the kids menu is just not acceptable.

Lovely place with friendly atmosphere

Fun place, great service, and vety tasty food! We joined in for their Monday trivia night. When they found out we were visiting from Canada they added a few Canadian trivia questions.

We had lunch by chance in this typical English pub. Ordering at the counter and table service. Friendly staff, good food and great beer.

Great pub, friendly staff, nice food and a great atmosphere.

Livia was great and the food and drinks were first rate! Wonderful fish & chips and best mushy peas!

Olivia makes the best martinis in London!

IG: marg.mario Is hard to find a good fish&chips in a pub nowadays, this is one of the good places! One of the best pub so far, that’s i’ve been in london Great atmosphere, pleasant staff, food cooked fresh and well presented I had fish and chips, my friend chicken sandwich, both were good Is hard to find a good fish&chips in a pub nowadays, this is one of the good places! It has tv for sports events, it does a weekly events Located near vauxhal/pimlico station (westminster area) Will come back for sure Thanks all

A very bright pub with a good atmosphere (at least at lunchtime), good food, better beer and fast, friendly waiters. Hot water in the bathroom (common in Great Britain but very rare in Spain) and with very curious old signage

I went to this pub yesterday having checked out their menus online specifically the children's menu as I was taking my two children and wanted to check they had suitable food. When I got there I saw there was no children's menu so asked at the bar only to the told that there wasn't one. When I told them they had a children's menu on their website the server just repeated that they didn't have one and suggested I order off the main menu. I did but it was more than twice the price and being an adult size my children couldn't finish the food. Utterly rubbish....

Very pleasant pub where we had a drink.

My very first English pub! Went here for Sunday roast right after arriving in London, and enjoyed a delicious steak and ale pie (also my first) and at least a couple beers. Great pub atmosphere and excellent service!

Nice place, good in-house brewery beer 🍺

What a bad experience we just had. We arrived in to a nice looking pub, we sat down and waited. Nobody noticed us for a long time so we downloaded an app to order good, but it didnt work. After +- 45 mins of waiting a lady came and told us they just stopped taking orders for food. So far our experience with the service in restaurants in London are pretty bad, you should learn in Spain or Greece, how to do it properly!

Buzzing! Amazing fish and chips and home brewed beer!

Very nice pub near the Tate Britain gallery. Of course, good beer selection and reasonable, rather low prices. Good chicken sandwich with fries that can also be shared, good portion. Friendly staff, fast service. The only criticism: There is no lunch offer such as "burger + 1 pint for xx pounds", which was quite common elsewhere. Recommendation.

Great fish and chips, drinks great. super friendly staff

Had a great leaving drinks! Thank you White Swan for the hospitality and arrangements

Very yummy food and a nice service. The sticky toffee desert is awesome!

The server was very helpful and polite. Food was correct as ordered; and in a timely manner. Most importantly the food tasted amazing and the drink selections were great. I strongly recommend this establishment if you're in the area.

🚇 Pimlico 🍺 £5.55 Estrella ❤️ A modern contemporary pub set inside a beautiful Victorian exterior. . Prior to visiting Pimlico I researched a few pubs to see which ones I would visit. One of the pubs I didn’t research was the @whiteswanpimlicolondon but I’m so glad I came here. This pub has a beautiful exterior with marble columns, gold detailing and victorian lamps. Inside the decor is modern and contemporary with exposed brickwork, large chandeliers and a wonderful wrought iron spiral staircase. At the time of visiting it was table service only, we were taken to a table by a really friendly member of staff and he came back shortly after to take our order. My Son and I ordered a couple of Estrella’s and some tapas as we were a few pubs in to our crawl and felt famished. The food was really tasty and the portions were a good size, the beer was also good and not overly priced. The service was excellent, the young lad who served us was polite, efficient and informed us of how long our food would be. The atmosphere here is upbeat and buzzy but the pub is big enough that you still have your own space to socialise in. . I haven’t been to a @mcmullens1827 pub in some time and these guys have a great pub in The White Swan. . 📊 Information correct on visiting 21/05/21

We all Really enjoyed our meals . The was good and not over powering music and attentive but not in your face staff

Excellent Sunday roast. Nice atmosphere with very ‘London’ vibe decor. The fried cauliflower was also delicious. The only disappointing thing was the side salad - a little wilted and not fresh - and the chicken added to the main was dry and tasteless.

Came for a Sunday roast with a friend. We both ordered the chicken roast dinner, and I say, I have not had such dismal meal like this is a very long time. I could even say it was the worst roast I’ve ever had, and to think it cost £20! I have given two stars here purely for the politeness and good service from the staff. To describe the roast, firstly 95% of the meal were frozen ingredients. Both my Yorkshire puddings were so well cooked, they had turned into crisps that cracked and crumbled. Next the chicken, I’m not sure how it’s even possible to have a fully cooked piece of chicken with yet no colour whatsoever, dowsed in bisto gravy and powdery stuffing ball. It all felt like a bad school dinner that I paid £20 for… if I were you I’d stick to a packed of crisps

Cold drinks and Meat pies? Say no more! First official meal in London and was welcomed with great hospitality. The drink menu is very extensive but the food here is where this place shines. My meat pie was amazing and the gravy was the highlight. I would swim in that gravy if I could. Definitely recommend!

Tipico pub inglese in cui abbiamo deciso di fermarci appena usciti dalla Tate Britain. Buon cibo, ottime birre, prezzi nella media. Atmosfera rilassata all'ora di pranzo, una sosta perfetta tra una visita e l'altra in una giornata turistica nella city.

Great spot in the heart of Wapping. The new menu is excellent

Great atmosphere and vibe. Ask for Stephen behind the bar, he’ll give a thorough history and tasting of the local beer on tap

A very good pub with a great atmosphere.

Excellent fish and chips but the atmosphere is to loudy! Please reduce music volume! I ha d to run away after dinner!

Very comfortable and friendly pub. They serve a good pint of Guinness.

Un pub on menjar, beure i passar una estona. Prop de la estació de metro de Pimlico i de la Tate Modern.

Cozy pub with an excellent beer and food.

Gentilissimi ...ultimo dell anno spettacolo...musica e camerieri top grz

Classico pub inglese, molto accogliente. Il servizio è buono e i prezzi sono abbordabili.

Visiting from Cleveland Ohio,and stopped here all I can say is WOW.Steven was amazing what a fun friendly guy.Love the food and these guys.We will be back before we head back home.Also a shout out to Vincent.Kudos to both of you.

Steven was very friendly and helpful and made our very first stop in London enjoyable. We highly recommend.

Went in for a drink and had a great time!
