The White Swan Pub and Dining Room, on the same site of the former Mucky Duck Pub, opened in November 2003 following a major refurbishment of the premises. Brothers Tom and Ed Martin, who have been running The Well in St John Street, Clerkenwell for the past 5 1/2 years as well The Gun in Docklands since September 2004, have gutted the entire building to provide a beautifully restored First Floor Dining Room, a new Mezzanine area above the Pub and a newly cleaned and restored Ground Floor Pub.

"The atmosphere completely mellow and you will find yourself in a relaxed and elegant dining room, seductively lit by lamps and candles, reflected in the entirely mirrored ceiling..."

Rachel Kelleher, View London - October 2007

"A plush intimate feel is achieved with rich dark woods, crisp white linen, well placed tables, comfortable tub chairs, a tasteful mirrored ceiling and good lighting; it radiates ‘elegant dining’ – and that is what the White Swan offers..."

N/A, Dine Online - October 2007

"Offering good, standard British fare of the fish-and-chips or steak-and-kidney-pudding variety..."

Troy Segal, Zagatsurvey 2007 - September 2006

"The White Swan is a fairly standard looking smart London pub – the kind of place you find from Knightsbridge to Hampstead. The restaurant (or Dining Room, to give it its proper title) is upstairs. With a mirrored ceiling and large windows looking out onto the bright lights of Someone & Somebody (Solicitors) Ltd, it felt peculiarly like a swanky Hong Kong restaurant at the top of a very tall hotel."

Simon Tyler, View London - December 2004
