The Swan is not a listed building, but is on CAMRA's National Inventory as a One Star pub with an interior of Special National Historic Interest, and the description is as follows: "Ex-Charrington’s two-storey pub of late Victorian London brick with a single-storey part rendered, flat roofed extension at the front (large) with two bowed windows and a smaller one to the rear. The rear extension is faced with brown (lower) and green (upper) glazed tiling (brick?) with leaded windows and stippled glass proclaiming “Toby Ale”, “Wines” and “Toby Stout”. There are two small doors on the Evershed Walk side (old photo from 1942 showed four doors in two pairs on this side). There are no signs of any former off-sales.

Entrance through the first door into the front bar with a small wood panelled counter with a pot shelf suspended from a dropped ceiling projection above the bar counter. The bar counter looks to be possible interwar but the pot shelf and bar back look to be of more modern construction.

A wide opening on the right leads to a room at the rear, again with a bar counter similar to the front one (but subtly different in many respects) also with a modern pot shelf and suspended ceiling projection. There is plenty of fielded panelling to three quarter height and a 1930’s style brick fireplace on the left-hand side surrounded by the same fielded panelling. To the right of the fireplace there is a part glazed wall/partition with similar fielded panelling which backs onto a passage to another room to the left which seems to have been brought into use as a dining room in recent times (dates unknown). Again, this room has similar fielded panelling but looks to be more modern as does the panelling in the passage.

In the rear bar there is cushioned fixed bench seating along the right-hand wall to the rear and a collection of 1930s style chairs and stools. Bare floor boards in both rooms and the ceiling in both bars is red painted wallpaper with narrow transverse wood beams."
