Wednesday nights at the White Swan are stripper nights. In January 2011 the local authority, [[Tower Hamlets]] council, threatened to ban the stripper nights as part of a general policy of closing venues that featured strippers, but the venue hoped to escape the ban because the strippers are amateurs and no exploitation is involved.<ref>http://news.pinkpaper.com/NewsStory/6840/31/01/2012/londons-white-swan-should-be-able-to-keep-its-stripper-night-pinkpapercom-readers-say.aspx</ref>
