Swan, Ships Tavern Passage, Gracechurch Street, City of London EC3

The Swan is not strictly in All Hallows. There is an entry in the 1901 census, which is then crossed out, and in fact is listed under St Margaret Pattens & St Dunstan in the East! It can be listed here for brevity. The pub was rebuilt in its present form in 1898. ***

I get hundreds of emails every day, fortunately most 'spam mails' are deleted by my mail scan settings. The final emails are delivered to various email addresses, and replying to these are not always successful. If you do not hear from me in a timely fashion, please feel free to email again, I do not mind! This is a pure PUBS history site, I doubt if I know where the PUBS are NOW, but try the site for where they were a hundred years ago, again enjoy!
