FULLER’S BUY POPULAR RIVERSIDE PUB
Fuller’s has announced that it has exchanged contracts to purchase the freehold of The White Swan pub – a fantastic and well-known, Twickenham riverside gem.
The purchase is due to complete on 19 March 2025.
As well as having stunning views, the pub is a pre and post-match favourite for Twickenham rugby goers and has a great reputation that stretches far and wide.
The former traditional freehouse is a very well-known pub and has been named as one of the 30 best pubs in Britain by The Times.
Fuller’s Chief Executive, Simon Emeny, said: “I’ve always thought that The White Swan is the best pub in Twickenham, outside of our existing estate – so I’m delighted to be bringing it into the Fuller’s family.
“We are famous for having some of the most iconic pubs in the country and this is no exception.
“The White Swan has been brilliantly run for many years and I can’t wait for us to play a part in its continued success.
“This is great news for Fuller’s and for The White Swan – and I’m looking forward to sitting in the garden, enjoying a perfect pint of London Pride, while watching the river go by.
“What could possibly be more idyllic?”
The actual pub dates back to the 17th century which can be seen in the Samuel Scott print, dated 1760, that hangs above the fire in the bar.
The pub is made up of two rooms, a terrace-balcony and a garden right on the riverbank.
Inside there are about 12 tables of various shapes and sizes and in winter the pub offers a very cosy environment by the fire and in summer the doors open on to the balcony and riverside patio.
Occasionally, at high tide, the garden is IN the river but never for long.
“Everyone who works here knows what it’s like to wade through the water with a few plates or glasses in hand,” says the pub.
