Independent pub · London
The Old Swan is a spacious pub in Kensington, a short walk from Kensington Palace. It was rebuilt in 1962, having previously stood around the corner in Notting Hill Gate, and reverted to its original name after a spell as the Rat & Parrot. The pub offers up to four cask ales, with occasional cider festivals. The menu covers pub food classics, small plates and sharers, plus Sunday roasts, fish and chips and steaks. There is live music, and sport is shown on Sky Sports and TNT Sports. Dogs are welcome, and the pub has disabled facilities.
