Where can I buy beer that comes in swing top bottles? I don't wanna buy empty bottles if for a few more coins I can get some beer in it! :D

Pubs that stock Grolsch will often let you have their bottles, for £4 per crate, which is a lot less than you would usually pay for empty bottles. They have a deal with Grolsch to return the bottles (and crates) for that amount, but apparently Grolsch is awful at picking up regularly, so most places have a case or two, or sometimes 10, hanging around that they just want rid of, and if you offer to pay their refund, they will gladly take it.
I find the bottles to be perfect for brewing (if you don't mind Green bottles), they're strong and attractive, and you won't get them cheaper than this!

I know only 1 place that sells them and they said they had to return them to the brewery, but I was trying to score them for free. I will try again armed with this knowledge. thanks – Another Compiler Error Jan 9 '14 at 11:40

I had more luck with small restaurants than pubs, actually. If you're in London, I can name some specific places. – Ryno Jan 9 '14 at 16:27

I venture in quite often, anything along Stratford to Sidcup by car would be great. – Another Compiler Error Jan 9 '14 at 16:37

I can get regular bottles from Wetherspoons, but not swing tops. – Another Compiler Error Jan 9 '14 at 16:42
