Love the Swan and thank you for all this years of great times.
FANTASTIC FABULOUS NIGHT.
One of the only true gay venue's that still cater and care for the lesbian and gay community. Great music, Great Djs and GREAT drag queens always. Love the Swan and thank goodness it's still here after all these years.
Absolutely Fabulous...!
I come here every weekend now, sometimes Friday sometimes Saturday (sometimes both!). Dj's are always amazing and their music is fantastic (they even do requests!). Cabaret every Saturday with top names, I loved Miss Jason last Sunday. The best East End Gay Bar!

SIMPLY THE BESTEST EVER...!!!
Well done White Swan. I was back in London visiting family last weekend and came down Friday night, had an amazing time both me and my sister. Can't believe how much you have improved the decor! It was great before but now it's totally amazing! Had such a great night Friday dancing till kicking out time that we came back Saturday night to enjoy the stage act. If you haven't been then believe me... you should. Many thanks again, Janet x
