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.

    We were staying in the tower hotel across the street, visiting from America. This pub looked fantastic, so we stopped by for a beer and fish and chips, I'm so glad we did because it was delicious. The next time we are visiting London mark my words we will be back. They had a great selection of beers on tap, the pub had a lot of character, you could walk around there and look at everything. The location is perfect right on the dock.

    Roast dinner tasted so good! Only issue was it was not hot, just warm but still very good! The steak had the same issue but was very good! Pudding was amazing and really satisfied my craving for something sweet. The pub is beautiful and very good for snapping some pictures and relaxing in the sun or admiring the decor and architecture inside. There are sports on the tv and a large amount of different drinks. Overall was well priced for food and a few drinks

    My partner and I ate here on our first ever trip to London. We were seated on the 3rd floor (the Grill) balcony. Together we ordered the burger and the fish & chips, a beer, and a cider. Everything was delicious! The atmosphere was nice, the area was quiet (Wednesday, lunch time), and the service was great. Highly recommend!
