Swan London

We booked the afternoon tea and absolutely LOVED it. We knew that it's definitely a touristy thing to do, but the quality of everything at the Swan was fantastic, it wasn't too cliche or touristy at all. We loved how it was Shakespeare themed, being next to the Globe Theatre. I also really appreciated the attentiveness of our server and his recommendations for London! They also have a straight gluten free menu that is so so so good, you don't feel like you're eating stuff that isn't as good of quality as the main food. Also the tea was excellent!!!

Great afternoon tea experience! They also have a gluten-free version suitable for people with celiac disease (in the picture). View of the Thames and St Paul. Thanks Teo P for the great service!

I took my daughter for an early evening dinner on a festive visit to London last week. I can’t remember a better meal, in a nicer location, or more flawless service. Every dish we had was exquisite, and the service we had from Riyas was just perfect: he was warm and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. (Give that man a Christmas bonus!) The menu offered a fantastic selection for my gluten-free, pescatarian diet, and we both appreciated the selection of alcohol free fizz, wine, mocktails and juices. The bar and restaurant were decorated with sumptuous trees and twinkling lights, and our window table had the perfect view over the river and St Paul’s Cathedral. I can’t imagine anywhere nicer to eat at Christmas. 10/10. Can’t wait to return.
