Great venue, lovely setting and really helpful and friendly staff.

Location for taxi pick up was difficult but not really anything the venue can do about that.

The Dickens Inn is a picturesque restyled and reconstructed 18th century pub and restaurant, providing an outstanding place to go and enjoy food and drink in the heart of St Katharine Docks in London.

With gorgeous pizzas, speciality steaks, burgers and Sunday roasts as well as balcony dining, large beer garden and views of Tower Bridge and the Shard, we're popular with tourists and locals alike.

This hidden gem lies just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the City of London with stunning views across the River Thames.
