The Swan

This is an old pub opposite Hyde Park that doesn't really abound with charm. The decor and service are a bit bland, lacking that special touch. However, it's popular with tourists, since there are a lot of hotels in the area. The English breakfast is served from 10 to 12 every morning, and is not too expensive. In the hotter months (such as they are in England ...), even large groups can find seating outdoors.
