Occupying a charming building of historical interest, The Swan dates back to the 19th century when it was used to refresh both horses and drivers between Farnborough railway station, the Queen's Hotel (now the Holiday Inn) and North Camp railway station. Workers of the then newly built Balloon Factory also used to frequent the public house.

 

Over more recent years, The Swan has become a local landmark within the community, particularly during the biennial Farnborough International Airshow, offering unique views of the air displays.
