Why is it called Swiss Cottage?

Jubilee

Where the name comes from

Named after a nearby inn, The Swiss Tavern, built in 1804 in the style of a Swiss chalet on the site of a tollgate keeper's cottage, and later renamed Swiss Cottage.

Worth knowing: The inn, latterly Ye Olde Swiss Cottage, closed in February 2025.
