Pig and Whistle is a traditional name for pubs; the name is sometimes thought to refer to "wassail".[1]
The Pig and Whistle in central London, was the venue for some of the London CHE Groups in the early 1970s. It is thought to have been at the junction of South Molton Street and Davies Street, near Bond Street underground station.[2]
Another Pig and Whistle, in Belgravia, was a popular gay venue for Saturday lunchtime drinking, also in the early 1970s.[2]
