Steeped in history, rich in spirit.

Welcome to The Dickens Inn, where the history of Victorian London meets the Thames. The building’s original wooden structure was retained and preserved, offering you a little slice of dock-side history along with classic British food and drinks.

Fresh From The Kitchen

Dine and drink in our atmospheric Tavern Bar or The Grill Restaurant, where London’s tales have been traded for generations.

Down in the Tavern Bar, you’ll find the hum of chatter, a tankard or two raised and plates of pub favourites – a golden fish and chips among them. Or wander upstairs to The Grill, perched on the top floor, where the view stretches over the docks and the menu takes a finer turn.

Whether it’s a quick bite below or a lingering meal above, you’ll find hearty fare, riverside cheer and a Tavern steeped in history waiting to welcome you this Autumn.
