Wiliam Edgar ran a haberdashery stall in St James Market, before meeting George Swan. They first opened a shop together in Ludgate Hill which Swan had been operating, but moved to 20 Piccadilly in 1812. They then moved to 49 Regent Street when their former site was demolished to make way for Piccadilly Circus, which had been the home to the Western Mail coach offices and the Bull & Mouth public house.

dbo:abstract
Swan & Edgar Ltd was a department store, located at Piccadilly Circus on the western side between Piccadilly and Regent Street established in the early 19th century and closed in 1982. Wiliam Edgar ran a haberdashery stall in St James Market, before meeting George Swan. They first opened a shop together in Ludgate Hill which Swan had been operating, but moved to 20 Piccadilly in 1812. They then moved to 49 Regent Street when their former site was demolished to make way for Piccadilly Circus, which had been the home to the Western Mail coach offices and the Bull & Mouth public house. Swan died in 1821, however Edgar continued to use the name. By 1848 the premises had expanded to 45–51 and the entire corner of Piccadilly Circus. In 1886, the old "partnership" businesses of Messrs Swan and Edgar and Messrs Halling, Pearce and Stone were acquired and amalgamated into a new Company named Waterloo House and Swan and Edgar (Limited). The directors of the new Company were John Swayne Pearce Esq (Chairman), Edward G. Stone Esq & Lewis Edgar Esq with two others to be elected by the shareholders at the first general meeting. In 1896, the capital of the company was reduced following a resolution passed on April 21 and the name was changed to Swan and Edgar (Limited). The premises were rebuilt and integrated in 1910–20 to a design by Sir Reginald Blomfield with the interior designed by Murray Adams-Acton. It became a popular place of assignation for Londoners for many generations: under the clock outside the department store, or sometimes the restaurant on the first floor, were often cited as meeting places. The store sold very high quality goods including the popular Merrythought teddy bear. The shop-front was one of the West End businesses targeted by the Suffragettes in their window-breaking spree on 21 November 1911. The store was hit in the last Zeppelin raid on London on 19 October 1917 and again rebuilt and remodelled in 1919, by Louis David Blanc and John James Joass. In 1920, during a period of difficult trading for the industry, Swan and Edgar (Limited) was acquired by Harrods' Stores Limited for a reported sum of £600,000. In 1927, the business was taken over by the Drapery Trust, which became part of Debenham Group in the 1970s. It was Debenhams that closed it in 1982 because of the high cost of modernisation. The building lay empty for a few years until it became the flagship UK store for Tower Records. In 2003, it was bought by Richard Branson of the Virgin Group and became a Virgin Megastore. The Virgin name disappeared in 2007 and was replaced by Zavvi but Zavvi went into receivership in 2009. The Sting, a fashion department store with branches in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium, opened in the building in July 2010. Суон и Эдгар (англ. Swan & Edgar) — здание в историческом центре Лондона, на улице Риджент-стрит; образует ансамбль площади Пикадилли. Изначально построено в начале XIX века по проекту Джона Нэша, впоследствии полностью перестроено. Первоначально в здании размещался универмаг британской сетевой компании Swan & Edgar Limited, основанной Уильямом Эдгаром и Джорджем Суоном в начале XIX века в Лондоне. Поначалу их магазин располагался в Лудгейте (район Сити), к 1812 году он переехал на улицу Пикадилли, а в 1821 году — на Риджент-стрит. К 1848 году магазин занимал часть Квадранта и угол площади Пикадилли. Торговая компания Swan & Edgar Limited просуществовала до конца 1970-х годов. Здание пострадало в 1911 году от суфражисток и в 1915 году от налёта немецкого дирижабля во время Первой мировой войны. Перестроено британским архитектором Реджинальдом Бломфилдом в стиле французского барокко в период между 1910 и 1920 годами, утратив первоначальный вид. В 1927 году был выкуплен компанией Drapery Trust, а позднее британской сети универмагов Debenhams, международной сети музыкальных магазинов Tower Records, с 2003 года — международной сети магазинов Virgin Megastores.
