26 Guildhall Walk
So it's time for another drink before the match and I have chosen The White Swan.This ornate Edwardian pub, designed by A H Bone in 1906, includes six ornately carved caryatids flanking the entrance doors and is of similar design to the former Air Balloon at Mile End. Being located on Guildhall Walk, the pub caters for clubbers most nights, with high volume music being the general rule.


After a short spell as a pseudo-American-style sports bar called Pitchers around the late 1990s it has since thankfully regained its old identity. As of January 2009 the pub is presently closed - however, the lease has recently been taken over by J D Wetherspoon, which should result in a significant improvement to the premises once refurbished and reopened.
