White Swan

One of the best pubs in Twickenham. We came here with some friends after an evening stroll by the river. Ordered a few pints and sat outside on the terrace enjoying the evening. Cozy inside, great outside seating, and friendly service. Next time I’m in the area, I’ll certainly be coming back to The White Swan.

Great as you can use a taste card here which makes for fantastic value. Very beautiful view and you can sit right on the river. Food is yummy and drinks are good, not too overpriced considering the fantastic location.

A lovely place to relax and have a pint and a spot of food, the outdoor seating is lovely, especially in summer when boats are on the river. Very child friendly, but also quiet enough for a group of friends

Walking along the river from St Margarets to Twickenham we were glad to stumble upon this watering hole — it was a beautiful day and a refreshing beverage by the river was just what we needed!
The layout of the main bar upstairs is quite tight but it did have a small patio area with a few tables outside, so we could overlook the setting below — and what a setting! Great views over the river, with nearby boaters, rowers, ducks and geese. Downstairs and on the riverside was a much larger eating & drinking area — we were only stopping for 1 pint so didn’t encroach on those eating dinner, but it looked equally pleasant.
There wasn’t a massive choice of draught beers & ciders but enough to get by, the usual favourites were at least in attendance. The tight corridors of the lower level toilets were a bit strange and the toilets not the cleanest, and we couldn’t find the ladies (if indeed there are any!). But besides these points, it was a charming place to stop and watch the river go by…

The White Swan is one of the most charming pubs I’ve come across in a long time. A quirky upstairs-​based layout gives is a great view out over the Thames. The patio seating area is next to a little beach-​y spot at low tide and can become a little island it high tide! The pub is kind enough to list the daily tide tables on a sign and has warnings posted so you don’t get caught out.
A beautiful spot to sit and watch the boats go by on a summer’s day. We’ll definitely be keeping this one on our list of places to head on weekends!

This is a lovely pub in a great location right on the river; a real favourite among locals, with a bustling, friendly crowd.
It has expanded its outdoor seating area across the road with a raised area of decking sitting on the edge of the water, which also has heaters for those chillier evenings. Watch out though, at high tide, you might find yourself marooned!

Possibly my favorite pub.
It’s small, cozy, warm, charming…
In summer you sit outside, right on the edge of the river.
In winter you sit inside on a comfy sofa next to the fire.
There are no other pubs or businesses around so you feel relaxed and welcomed.
I was surprised at how cheap our drinks were too (hot chocolate and mulled cider).
Please do not go here, it’s my secret little spot!

Definitely a popular name for a pub in this area, the White Swan and I have been friends since I was even a kid. I used to often come here with my dad and his friend up to 20 years ago. Little has changed in this time, and certainly neither have the infamous toilets!
The atmosphere in here is absolutely amazing when you catch it on a nice day and the serenity of the river provides the most stunning backdrop to your drinking activities. Whether you sit inside or outside, there is actually a lots more room to the place than you would first imagine. Despite this, the White Swan can sometimes get crowded, but I guess that is all part of the fun!
