| Thanks Michael. I only asked because I'd heard that the Swan and its sister gastropubs were all owned by two brothers, and now I read that the famous Magdala pub by Hampstead Heath has been bought by 'two brothers' and I wondered if it was the same pair. The Magdala is a fairly ordinary old-fashioned pub - its claim to fame is that Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain, shot and killed her two-timing lover on the pavement outside the pub while he was enjoying a pint or two with his mates. Hard to know how the new owners could reflect this unique piece of history in their updated design..... |
