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 Poplars 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 top floor to find Poplars with balcony and views.

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

Weddings at The Dickens Inn

The Dickens Inn is a picturesque restyled and reconstructed 18th century pub and event venue nestled in St Katharine Docks. 

It boasts three floors of flexible hire spaces, with an experienced events team and range of bespoke food, drink and entertainment packages tailored to your occasion. This historic venue is fully licensed for ceremonies, plus offers a private bar, dining room, dance floor space and music license until midnight. 

With ample outside space on the terrace and flower-bedecked balcony, and unrivalled views over the dock towards Tower Bridge and the Shard, The Dickens Inn ensures a stunning setting for your most memorable of occasions. 

Events and Corporate Hire

Our central London location, full of charm, character and room enough for 200 merry souls is perfect for a fine corporate gathering, a rowdy office knees-up, or something a little in between.​

Spread across three floors, our versatile spaces suit meetings, conference, teambuilding days and celebrations alike – with flexible food and drinks packages to keep spirits high and glasses full! Whatever the cause, we can mark it in true Dickensian style – warmly and generously and with just the right amount of mischief. ​
