What's in a name?

I came across this handy summary of the local neighbourhood recently. It gives a quick and simple explanation for the name of our suburb.

Swiss Cottage is located in North-west London in the Borough of Camden. The area is named after a Public House built between 1803 and 1804. This opened as "The Swiss Tavern" and is now called "Ye Olde Swiss Cottage". The building, reconstructed in 1965, is loosely modeled on a classic Swiss chalet and remains in active use today.

We've yet to trial the delights of this local icon. No doubt we have quite an experience in store for us!
