TravelStay, the pub might be a honeypot for tourists during the day - but there is a significant shift in the clientele as the night draws in.

After an evening show at the Globe Theatre (these start at 6. 30pm or 7. 30pm), if you're lucky you might see the cast of the show popping into The Swan for post-show pints.

Apparently the celebrities you're most likely to bump into here are the "talented, character actors who take their work very seriously. "The pub does have a private area, but it's only separated from the rest of the venue by a rope - this, combined with the informality of the venue, means that if you spot a celebrity you recognise with any luck you might actually be able to wander up to them for a chat on a quiet night.
