The Black Swan disappears from the directories in about 1891. Ryders Court is at the South side of Lisle Street, and may have been named Leicester Court in about 1938. The 1891 directory lists Ryders court as being from 3 Cranbourn street, opposite to Bear street on the south side.

The will of my GGG Grandfather was made on 31 July 1837 and was granted
probate on 12 Aug 1837, and referred to William Butlin as a licensed
victualler of the Black Swan public house No 7 Ryders Court Leicester Square
in the county of Middlesex. William was only about 38 when he died and left
a wife and seven children. They were indeed hard days. *
