Geocache Description:


Note to cachers: When you get somewhat close to the area PUT AWAY your GPS, open your eyes and use your brains. The coordinates are purposely slightly off as its too easy to lead a cacher to drink but can I get you to drink? Probably! So its best if we don't encouraging hard core consumption during geocaching.

Further note: The surrounding area is often full of onlooking mugglers, so stealth is absolutely required for the cache to avoid the hangman's noose and live a long boozie life.

This cache is intended to challenge cachers so PLEASE in your logs DON'T give hints away!!!

Description:
The Swan Inn on the Bayswater Road, is an historic pub dating back several centuries.
Today a popular tourist haunt on the edge of Hyde Park, overlooking Kensington Gardens, it was in former times a resting point for stage coaches proceeding toward London.
The highwayman Claude Duval is reputed to have stopped here for his last drink on the way to his hanging at Tyburn, near Marble Arch.
Hence the origin of the sayings 'one for the road' which is the last drink ever and 'on the wagon' which refers to being taken away for the last time!
