The venue staff were excellent and very attentive all night and ensured the whole night ran smoothly. While liaising with the venue through Agata she was very accommodating and did her best to ensure all our wishes and needs were met.

Excellent communication, very helpful staff, beautiful venue. Staff was very responsive to our requests, even at last minute, and helped largely on the day of the event to ensure it was successful. Very positive experience. Highly recommend

We got married on December 17th and had the perfectly magical day. From our initial contact with Agata in March 2022 through months of preparation with Agata and Eleonora, to the day with Bogdan, Jack and team, everything was amazing. The venue was stunning, all the staff attentive and professional, and the food delicious. We couldn’t have asked for more especially as we had a winter wedding so the venue decor was just perfect with fairy lights and Christmas decorations. We even had snow on the ground which made for awesome wedding photos.


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.
