White Swan, Twickenham

The White Swan, one of the best riverside pubs and bars in London, is a traditional free house in Twickenham on the banks of the River Thames. The pub was built in the 17th century. You can see it in the Samuel Scott print, dated 1760, that hangs above the fire in the bar. You can relax on the riverside terrace of The White Swan in sleepy southwest London as rowers glide by on the river below. This small pub swells on matchdays, as rugby fans enjoy a pint or two at this picture-book pub before and after matches at nearby Twickenham Stadium.

The pub has two rooms, a terrace balcony, and a garden on the riverbank. It has about 12 tables of various shapes and sizes inside. In the winter, it's a very cozy pub, especially when the fire is lit. This pub opens its doors to the balcony and riverside patio in the summer. When the tide rises, a portion of the garden is engulfed by the river. Do you want to see wait staff potentially wading through water to get you a drink? You've arrived at the right place.
