The Dickens Inn is a gorgeous pub nestled in St Katherine Dock by the River Thames, with two lovely beer gardens, and picturesque interiors.

The Dickens Inn has a long and intriguing history intertwined with Charles Dickens and East London heritage. First the wooden warehouse building thought to have housed tea since late 1700s, and later reconstructed in the 18th century to turn into the three storey balconied inn that now graces St Katherine Docks.

Decorated with antique furniture and an airy decor, The Dickens Inn focuses on friendly service and English pub traditions. Embracing the natural beauty of St Katherine Docks, The Grill proudly serves classic British dishes with a seasonal focus. Offering a range of delicious pub grub, speciality steaks, Sunday roasts and delicious fresh fish, there is something for everyone on the menu.

In the heart of St Katherine Docks, The Dickens Inn is situated near the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, just a short walk from Tower Hill Underground Station.

Please note, Breakfast will stop being served from mid-Novemeber - January 2025.

    This is one of the BEST pubs in london! I absolutely love taking my friends and family here and it’s always a great experience. It’s in a prime location next to the Tower of London / Tower Bridge and sits hidden just off from the Themes at St Kathryns way. The food here is always very good (classic pub food) and the atmosphere here is great! You’ll meet some great people at this pub, it’s not really much of a locals pub as such as you’ll meet people from all around the world just sat on tables next to you. I tend to have the pepperoni pizza and it’s absolutely delicious. The prices aren’t too expensive either given its location. The service is always excellent and the bar staff are always a pleasure to talk to. This is my favourite London pub and I always recommend it to anyone I know who’s going to London.

    The Grill at The Dickens Inn has a rustic ambiance with wooden beams and a cozy atmosphere. We ordered a burger n Seabass fish. The burger was generously portioned and well-cooked, while the seabass was fresh and flavorful, though the bed of vegetables was inconsistently heated, with some parts even cold. Service was good, and the overall experience was pleasant. The starters creamy mushroom w spinach was amazing. However, the apple berry crumble was just average—not particularly memorable. Overall, I’d rate the experience a 3.5 out of 5.

    The restaurant was stunning. However the food weren’t at their best. The fish was crispy as i like it however it needed a bit of salt that i couldn’t find on any table or stand. The chicken wings were dry. The staff were friendly.
