I have been frequenting the White Swan for some time now and I can truly say it is one of the nicest down to earth pubs to visit in Central London. From the friendly atmosphere to the always helpful and smiling bar staff, i always get the most relaxed comfortable feeling when visiting. Its a perfect place to bring a group of friends for a relaxed social evening after work. They also do pub quizzes every couple of months which i refuse to miss as they are so much fun.
What a pub! Excellent in every way. Good beer, well kept and presented.
Staff who are friendly and chatty, the landlady is a hoot!
If you are stuck in Aldgate and need a beer to ease the frustrations of London away, then this is the place to stop and unwind.
We lovely traditional pub tucked away from the main road. Tried the Neck Oil session IPA, very nice beer and cheerful service.The price was 7.10£ for a pint, don’t know is it expensive or not. The place worth a visit.
Classic and really cosy pub. The girls in the bar are so service minded and kind. Not the largest selection of beer but all you need.
I came in late on a Friday and it was very quiet. A great pub, good beer, good service, lovely interior. The bar staff said their trade is Tuesday to Thursday now which you understand in this post covid world, I hope they can survive because it's a real gem in the area.
I had everything on the hand pumps, good selection of cask, and my partner had a few of the Whitstable larger. Good beer and very well served.
Lovely little traditional pub in the heart of East London. Super friendly staff and an extraordinary space upstairs which caters for private events for you and your friends. They let you bring in your own food which makes it even more special.
Such a wonderful find. It's so good. You have to come here when visiting London.
Hadn't been in for a long while and was very pleasantly surprised. Barman was very polite and a credit to the pub, great Guinness as recommended by him also a good selection of ales,ciders and most top shelf drinks too , kept lovely and clean and a true gem. There is a few old school pubs like this in the area and will certainly be coming back to this one

Nice little community boozer tugged away in a small street near Aldgate East tube station. Very traditional décor, very typical place for a late beer. Pub grub and snacks are also provided. Very comfortable seating inside this smallish place, friendly and competent staff. Good alternative to some of the "yuppie" bars in the area, reasonable prices (for London). Three cask ales plus a variety of keg taps.
Friendy staff, good selection of beers and wine
Great pub, the two behind the bar were fantastic, a real asset. Something you don't very often find in pubs nowadays.
A City institution for decades. Very handy for a pint before or after a visit to The Halal.
Absolutely the best hidden little pub in London, hands down. 🤫 Chill vibes, no time wasted, relax and catch up with mates on any given day. Best poured Guinness pint this part of London….imagine it, delivered.
