Swan Inn

Swan Inn

The Swan Inn (formerly thought to have been called the Saracen's Head) on the Bayswater Road, London is an historic pub dating back several centuries. Today a popular tourist haunt at the edge of Hyde Park, it was in former times a resting point for stage coaches proceeding toward London.

The highwayman Claude Duval is reputed to have stopped here for his last drink on the way to his hanging at Tyburn.
