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 briefly the venue for London CHE Group 2 in 1970. 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]
