Pig and Whistle is a common name for pubs; the name is sometimes thought to refer to "wassail"[1]

The Pig and Whistle near Oxford Street, central London, was the venue for some of the London CHE Groups in the early 1970s.

Another Pig and Whistle, in Belgravia, was a popular gay venue for Saturday lunchtime drinking somewhat later.
