Absolutely I love it. 😍 The pub has an amazing interior and outdoor view. The location felt you are in 1800s, The service staff are also very helpful. It’s a very good pub for a romantic date. Prices are reasonable and outdoor are is available. I will definitely come back 👍

Great gastropub located in the heart of St. Katherine's Dock. Visited here having booked and were given a great window seat overlooking the harbour. The front of house was friendly and helpful. Good menu choices, good sized portions and reasonable pricing. The only downfall for me, was the scaffolding on the outside and building signs on the way up to the top floor (although I do appreciate works do need to be carried out).

What's not to love about this pub apart from the prices 😭 such a beautiful place to have a drink. The outside is always so gorgeous with all the hanging baskets and flower displays. It looks the part with its wooden balconies overlooking the marina. Inside the original beams are fab and it's huge, lots of nooks and crannies to discover. Service is good as it's always busy they have lots of staff so never long to wait Great place to visit and perfect for photos

We got married at the Dickens Inn in October 2021 and cannot recommend it highly enough as a wedding venue. From start to finish, the team were extremely friendly and helpful, making sure the day went off without a hitch. We wanted a relaxed pub wedding and got just that! Very good value considering the location by Tower Bridge too.

It's an amazing pub in the best location. Perfect for just drinks and food. I love being in this place. it's so peaceful and relaxing, even sitting outside watching life on the various boats and yachts parked up on the dock. The pub is also dog friendly, which is a big plus.

A lovely pub situated on St Katherine's Dock. We had some desserts and do recommend the chocolate brownie and the chocolate mousse. Reasonable selection of beers. Lovely exterior and interior.

The Dickens Inn has to be the most romantic place we visited in London. Tucked back behind the docks, at night, it's lit up with flowers everywhere. We walked from our hotel for a drink and found a charming pub that was somehow bustling and quiet at the same time. Tons of space to choose from with a great menu and great drinks, not to mention a lovely view. Honestly, so great.

On the woman’s day for my lunch break I went in The Dickens Inn pub with my colleague. I was very supposed how beautiful is it and how big is it!!🤩 it so peaceful place where you can eat upstairs, outside with lively sun 🌞 us I did or inside with two floors. Is not at all chaotic but so relaxing and peaceful place. The service was so nice, very welcoming staff and with a big smile, as I like! I ordered 2 full all day breakfast and it was as well so great and delicious! I very recommend this place to the people they work or live around there. Is a fantastic place!

We came here for a team lunch on Friday lunch. It’s 5-10min walk from WeWork at 1 St Katherine Way. It was quite quiet. I guess it probably likely to be the same quiet for work day lunches. So we ended up grabbing the seat with the best view in the balcony on the 1st floor. You can see the harbour with yachts right in front of you. On a spring day, it wasn’t too chilly with the jacket on. The food was relatively quick and okay quality. For a main and a drink, the bill came around £20 per person. The 5 star is definitely for the lovely environment and the wonderful view. Will come back if I work nearby again.

I have been here a couple of times, I love the location and the feeling of being out of the chaos despite being in London. The staff is warm and friendly. I popped in as a walk in on a Sunday and they gave me a table with a nice view. Great wine selection,the food is fine, maybe I would have appreciated more a less hard roast beef but it is very difficult for me to find it like I prefer.

Pretty appalled to be honest. I would really recommend eating elsewhere. The food quality was just not acceptable for the restaurant prices they charge. If you’re paying £17 for a burger or £15 for a Pizza you’d expect to receive something which wasn’t so obviously frozen. The heaters were not working and the toilets were filthy and dingey. There is no baby changing facility. (I do not count the one in only the Ladies, which does not fully fold down because of the hand dryer) My group of six spent over £300 for food and drinks and the facilities and food do not match up to this. The staff were excellent.

Lovely pub with great location and character. I’ve been coming here for ages but today I remembered why it’s good to have a pint but not to eat here. Because it’s so known and always busy, the pub doesn’t make an effort for the quality of its food (the pub floor). For £16.50 it’s the worst most soggy fish and chips I’ve had in a Pub in London since I can remember. It’s a shame.

From the outside, even on a cold dark winters night in January, the Dickens Inn looks idyllic. That’s where the story ends in our opinion.  Being a Saturday evening we expected it to be busy, as was the case but there was no atmosphere, just busy!  The tables were sticky, many not cleared of empty glasses & plates in a reasonable time and we were unable to order food from the app. A couple of the TV’s showing sport keep freezing for long periods and  the place was cold, with radiators not on and no warm welcome from the staff who seemed indifferent. The toilets were something from the 80’s, in such a mess and flooded.  The food, whilst not particularly expensive, wasn’t great quality and on par with  J D Wetherspoons.  Will we return ?  That’s a No from Us.

Lovely pub in beautiful setting. Lovely friendly staff who did an amazing job despite the current circumstances. The food (I got a cheese and bacon burger) was really disappointing and I feel £15 is an absolute rip off. I honestly couldn’t believe what was put in front of me. There was nothing on the menu less that £12 which was the average price of a starter. This may be London but it’s not an excuse to serve poor quality food and to blatantly exploit your customers. I would urge people to go else where if they are looking to eat out.

The food here is trash and over priced. You pay a massive premium for the location. The staff look haggard from the copious complaints they receive. Pub quiz is good though (hard).

Pretty to look at but best to eat elsewhere. I was so disappointed with this place as it looks so good from the outside but was quite violently sick after eating the calamari and the fish, both of which were quite obviously frozen. The batter might have been fresh but there was far too much of it on both the cod and the calamari - and was so oily that my fingers were actually wet from touching it. It's not cheap either, the bill came to over £50 for two people who were both ill afterwards and really quite appalled by the quality of the food - both of our meals could quite easily have been from Spoons so definitely not the traditional, proper fish and chips I was hoping for. I'm sure it's fun for drinks and maybe they have changed the quality of ingredients in response to Covid but would definitely not eat here again.

This is another unique building worth a visit when in this part of London. Had a few pints here - typical pricing for beer. We did not have food but stopped in mostly to see the building and get that old historic feel. It had low ceiling and large wooden joist etc.

After a long cold day of touring London on foot, this place was a welcome refuge for my tired and overly chilled family. Ducking into this place for food and warmth, we welcomed the amazingly relaxed atmosphere this restaurant provided. With three levels, the first being the bar and the next two being the dinning floors, this establishment offers a rich relaxing ambience and plenty of seating to enjoy it. The staff is very kind and helpful throughout the meal. The food was good but a little overpriced in my opinion. We ordered the scotch eggs (perfect breading but the eggs were too undercooked for my taste), two burgers (scrumptious), and two chicken schnitzels (breaded chicken with no gravy or sauce but not bad just bland). Don’t get me wrong, the food was good and we devoured it. However, I don’t believe it was 140 quid good, especially when we get cups of ketchup and not the bottle (small pet peeve of mine). Overall, it’s a beautiful and warm environment with good food that’s a little overpriced. Go and taste for yourself.

I had a wonderful experience at Dickens Inn! The food was delicious, the pub's interior was charming, and the service was speedy. Plus, the prices were reasonable. Additionally, the pub's exterior is a stunning backdrop, making it a popular spot for Instagram-worthy photos.

Well.. A meal for six circa £339.00 including wine. One of the six starters never turned up even though we repeated twice the orders to the waiter... Deserts took an eternity. THE TOILETS OMG DISGUSTING.... I have never been in a place like this in my life. Soiled pants were thrown in the corner wet floor toilet roll everywhere urinal blocked. An situation did not change during two visits Not impressed if these are the toilets.... So all in all a meal experience not to be repeated.

Beautiful old pub in a fantastic location. However, after ordering a £15 burger I waited for 30+ minutes and received a tasteless, flavourless, tiny excuse for a slab of meat between two buns. Very disappointed in the food and pricing here ! Bottom line, come for a pint and the location. Don’t get the food!

Had dinner in the top restaurant which was more expensive than we thought. Wanted a Sunday roast but the vegetarian option was not available. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would go for the Copperfield Bar next time. The pub was nicely decorated with flowers and that's special.

A very old beautiful pub. The food was very nice and the staff were friendly. The thatched roof and all the flowers outside are so pretty. The history of the pub is also amazing. Well worth a visit. Burger and chips, bowl of pulled pork nachos and 2 large cokes cane to £35.48. Pricey but worth it

When we booked we asked to be sat next to a window with a view, when we arrived we were seated with the best view in the restaurant. We were welcomed by friendly staff. The food was amazing. All of us finished every scrap of food on our plates. Our server Moon was attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend coming here.

The Dickens Inn, St Katherine Docks, London. The Dickens Inn is set over three floors !!. The ground floor was the sawdust floored candlelit drinking area, the first floor was and is set out for more formal dining, with the third floor set aside for booking the two large grandiose rooms. Now the ground floor is dimly lit to take you back to the era of the 1800s, but the bar and fittings are state of the art, but retain a charm of its own. Looking very period in character. A taven, restaurant and bar meals, even traditional games are available. This is again is very close to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. If you would like somewhere to rest and refresh, a nice meal and a great range of drinks, including real ales, this must be on your list !!!.... This inn is just behind the #Guanamo Hotel, or #The Tower Hotel and on #St Katherine's Dock, so never a dull moment. Highly recommend !!!. The size gives you an opertunity to find either a cosy corner or games, plus the large television area to the very far end, you would never know this was there unless you explore !.. This could be your introduction into the walkways along the Thames. You can even get down to the foreshore of the Thames itself, Mudlarking is looking for items in the beach that appears twice a day when the tide is out on the Thames. But more about this in another article. The only conjecture ?, could Charles Dickens ever have drunk here ?, it seems very unlikely. Probably not, but this has some amazing history and who knows who or what frequents this place at night !!!.... He certainly would have passed this building on a regular basis. Did he know the owner when it was a a warehouse, full of alchahol ?. We will never know. For more info visit www.dickensinn.co.uk. Some history... The building dates from the early 1800 / 1900s, some believe this was actually earlier. The original building was a wooden frame with wattle and daub, or cob infill. This made these buildings a target for the gangs, who could dig their way in !!. The expensive contents, would have made this a lucrative crime. The Rum, a staple for the Royal Navy, with rations of half to a pint per day !!, being made with expensive sugar. Beer, not so much, the gin again not so easy to sell on, but Whiskey and the top selling Tea !. Very expensive still. If the rumours were true many more items would have been stored. Wattle and daub, or cob, was not waterproof. The pretty black wood with white paint is a recent addition to wooden framed structures. White paint, was not available, so what we're or did they look like ?. They were Pink !, Why Pink ?. The only waterproofer for wattle and daub, or cob, was pigs blood !!. Hence the Pink and not white look. Who knew ?... In the 1820s in bid to modernize the warehouse and make it more secure due to the high price of tea and goods within. It would have had some *Bonded* status, the building had a brick skin built around and into it. Fast forward to the 1970s, the building was in need of some repair and the entire waterfront properties were gaining value at a very high pace. It looked doomed to be demolished. The original site was some 200 yards to the East of its present location. During the rebuild that was extensive, it was said to resemble a three storey balconied Inn of the 18th Century, However even this is disputed as this was not the fashion in the 1800s. This was when in 1976 the building was saved as Sir Charles Dickens, Grandson, Cedric Charles Dickens, purchased the property, It was in May of 1976 that the Inn eventually opened as a public house. Cedric Dickens is quoted as saying My Great Grandfather, Sir Charles Dickens, would have loved this Inn!!!. #hautedlondon

A quiet, laid back place with good food and friendly service. Fish and Chips were great! Our waiter, Moon, recommended the Butter Toffee Cake for dessert and it is a slice of heaven in your mouth!

A truly unique pub / restaurant experience in the very heart of London. Housed in a large converted 18th century warehouse. It's located in St. Katherine's Dock close to the Tower of London. This quiet and unique neighbourhood belies it's location. It sets the scene for your experience at the Dickens Inn. The inn hosts a restaurant serving quality English pub style food. The pub itself serves a good selection of beers and ales under the wooden beams of the original structure. There are few tables with a large area given over to the after work crowd with standing room only. The place is usually quiet in the afternoons and is a great place to relax from the bustle of London. In early to mid-afternoon you will likely find a table inside, on summer days there is some outside seating. Well worth a try.

Lovely, quirky little pub right near London Bridge station. When you go downstairs, there are little wooden seats and tables and cobbled stone walls and floors. Very old and traditional. I loved it there.

Beautiful building but that’s really about it about this place. Super overpriced extremely low quality food - perhaps a tourist money making place?... I have lived in the area for over 6 years now and it’s my second visit here (no matter how much we tried avoiding this place) and it’s an appalling disappointment once again. This time my husband got his microwaved looking pizza around an hour after six of us had their average looking meals finished - really bad service and looked like it was ok for them to leave a customer waiting for food so long... considering their prices and location it’s a pretty horrendous experience... definitely never stepping in again even if it’s the only option available for dinner in the area ...

Beautiful building, really nice staff. The food is okay but far far too overpriced for what it is. £14 for a poor to mediocre pizza is unacceptable. Fish dishes looked good though. Overall for all my friends dishes I'd say they were on average all too expensive. The prices would fine if the quality were better. We asked to turn on the patio heaters, but they said they are broken. Why? The toilets are in desperate need of refurbishment. They're like school toilets! Probably won't return.

Food is average, service was poor, the server actually told us to open the ketchup pouches with our mouths (IN A PANDEMIC!!). They did not clean the surface of tables between customers and tables are not positioned well for social distancing. The only good thing is the location of the pub

Covid measures at overkill level, yet coupled with an inability to order drinks via the dedicated app (food only) from the tables. Daft, overpriced, poorly thought out. Would have been one star but for the friendly, helpful staff.

Had a nice afternoon drink, pub was busy but had a great atmosphere. Worked in this pub putting in s massive Ice machine about 30 years ago. Hasn't changed much from all those years ago

Lovely atmosphere and staff very friendly food brilliant at St Katherine Dock

Came here for a work social. It's a bit pricey but very well maintained venue at a superb location.

Feeling very festive with lights, decorations & lots of laughter. Great staff service but limited snacks to purchase !

Delicious pizza. Friendly staff. Great location. Good value for money.

Great place, great area! Never been here before so was a bit worried how it's gonna be with booking the table etc (as we were a bigger group of people). Very smooth process, polite staff and only good vibes as soon as we entered. The place is huge, 3-floor pub with the seating inside and outside + the garden downstairs. They show all the main games - like Euro 2020 now. We had a really good time and will certainly come back again, thanks!

Unless you take the backstreets beyond the main tourist traps it is unlikely that you will come across this beautiful inn. Always decked in greenery, there are spectacular views across the basin. In good weather the is an outside seating area too.

Very quaint pub with a lovely view. If you can afford it, you can stay in one of the very fancy yachts docked outside. After a few pints you can go for a scenic stroll along the Thames.

Food on the top floor was good, then a pint and the rugby on the ground floor, busy but good atmosphere

Went to the Grill tonight on the 3rd floor, lovely place to eat, we were out on the balcony, really beautiful view of St Katherines Dockyard. Lovely food, wonderfully polite staff, we were served by a very happy gentleman so polite. Only rushed off due to change in my sugar levels. Hope to come back soon.

Went for a business networking event. A lovely and quaint building in a fantastic setting. Very beautiful area... St. Katherine Docks, next to Tower of London. The venue was very clean, beautiful and the catering and staff were exceptional. Exceeded my expectations and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The food was great, although I have no idea as to the cost as it was a catered event. All around highly recommended for business or pleasure visits.

Great place to go for food or drinks if you are on this side of London. Lovely views of St.Katherine's Dock. Tiny bit pricey for what it is - but I'd say it's probably fair based on the location. Well worth a visit and really friendly staff. Pet friendly on the first and second floor, but not in the restaurant on the third (fair enough).Ground floor - boozer, first floor - Pizzeria, third floor - restaurant.

So it’s cute but the fish and chips were just awful! Super fishy! I was starving so I tried not breathing in as I ate but it didn’t help. Even the chips tasted fishy. Maybe their burgers are good or maybe it was a bad batch of fish. I couldn’t eat them. Honestly this is just another cute pub in England. I would not go out if your way to go here to eat! There are many great pubs to choose from that have history, ambience and great fish and chips

I went to the pub. It was nice and friendly. Dog friendly too! The drinks were nice. They have food as well, which came out quickly and was hot. It's just off the docks, and it looks lovely on the outside and nice on the inside. They have a foosball table in the corner and a tv. You don't need to dress up. You can go in trackies and trainers.

Really disappointed. Had fish and chips when the kitchen first opened and it came with completely stale and rock hard bread. Sent it back to get the exact same plate back again with the same rock hard bread. It had obviously been left sitting out. As had the butter which was liquid. Mushy peas were gritty and had obviously been sitting out too all for almost £17! Ultimate nachos come with barely a spoonful of pulled pork. Such a shame as the building is beautiful and the view over the docks is lovely. Definitely give food a miss here.

Wir hatten gestern einen Tisch dort reserviert. Das Ambiente ist traumhaft schön. Leider war es sehr frisch im obersten Stockwerk. Leider waren auch einige Gerichte bereits um 16.30 Uhr nicht mehr verfügbar. Das fanden wir sehr schade und darf eigentlich nicht passieren. Aber das was wir gegessen haben war lecker . Ob wir nochmals hingehen würden glaube ich nicht. Es war einfach zu teuer für das was man bekam.

Very nice place with super tasty burgers. Menu selection is quite good, mainly grilled dishes like burgers, stakes etc. Nice and pleasant service. Bit pricey but its worth of.

It was quite an interesting path to get here, through the St. Katherine Docks and over footbridges to the multi-story building. It does look like there were a couple of dining areas in the building, a pub, and a grill. We were just on the pub side on the ground floor. The area was quite large and we were in the dining area with tables and chairs. You wait to be taken to a table where they have table service. We had to wave people down to get their attention to order and to get the check. The food was alright. It was fairly standard pub fare, pizza, burgers and fish and chips. I had the pie and mash and that was alright. The pizza was a bit soggy. I'd probably come for a drink and to admire the area or building but probably not for the food. The grill might have been at a higher standard.

Really nice historic building. And great views of the docks.

This incredibly pretty building overlooking the marina at St Catherine's Dock offers a spacious bar able to accommodate both casual visitors and organised, private events. On the day we visited, we found it to be quiet as are most of the bars and restaurants in the area on Sundays in winter. We were efficiently served our drinks by a well spoken if brusque bartender around 10.40pm. Efficiency appears to be a core value of team here as by 10.45, the security staff were already asking us to drink up quickly in anticipation of the bar closing at 11pm. Familiar with the drinking up time allowed by law, I suggested that there really wasn't such urgency in our departure. To say this was greeted without charm is an understatement. I'm happy to recommend the Dickens Inn but only if you are going early with the intention of leaving early and are not looking for a warm friendly welcome but simply a well located place to stop for a quick drink.

Very cool pub with lots of character, but the food in the downstairs bar was very poor. Went on a Friday evening and enjoyed the atmos and beautiful pub inside but ordered the chicken burger in the downstairs bar for 12.99 and to be honest, it was like something you would get in chicken cottage, pathetic for that price! Tiny burger and small portion of fries. Enjoyed the pub and a lovely location but I cant understand how a nice place like that can serve up such laughable food!

Looks like a traditional pub. We liked the settings but when it came to the meals it was clearly not as outstanding as they claim it. They have an advertisement : best burger in London and seriously it neither looked like nor tasted like the best burger in town... Really disappointed of it. Nevertheless, it was the good place to go with a buggy and a 4-years old child as we had enough space and place was not too crowded.

Beautiful place in the nice St. Catherine Docks area, right next to the Tower Bridge. 3 floors: pub, bar and restaurant. The 3rd floor restaurant is called The Grill, has a short but good menu. Had the chicken schnitzel which was very good and a nice italian Chardonnay. Very good place to check out.

Absolute rip off

Gives the feeling of vintage London. A Bit overcrowded in the weekends

Nice view from the Marina

A lovely pub in lovely location x

Very nice place and nice stuff as well!!the view is amazing..!!!

Amazing old building but food is extremely poor.

The beer was good but had to sit inside and that was hot 8/8/20

Very large space with plenty of open air seating. Don't need reservations usually, but can get full on weekends. Fully stocked bar and good service.

It's OK.

Would not recommend this place.

Lovely place right by the docks - pretty flowers in the summer. Spacious outdoor area and great for a few evening drinks - has basic pub snacks /food too. Word is that Dickens was a frequent visitor here (as the name suggests) so it had a nice historical touch to it!

Very badly organised

I wanted to add a counterweight to Kat Cat's review. Imagine going to a pub mid-pandemic, during lockdown, and expecting them to accommodate some random lady who 'deemed the place empty'. Wow. The staff here have been lovely every time me and the whole family have visited on many a Sunday afternoon. Couldn't recommend it more!

Great place, always packed the spot is amazing but the food needs improvement

Cosy, characteristic pub in St Katherines dock area, in the least crowded part of the city. Ideal for a quiet visit in the evenings. Plenty of restaurants and cafes around the area.

Great atmosphere, drinks and food in the pub which I've been to many a time. Sadly, I wasn't allowed to have a meeting with some wine and nibbles at the first floor restaurant despite it being daytime and the place being almost empty. I was told that we could only stay if we ordered a meal. As weren't that hungry we went to a quiet coffee place round the corner. I understand the rules but they were a little off-putting given the context and time of day.

Great hidden place and lovely lights at night time. Lovely beer!

Good location with friendly staff.

Well priced, great location

Can get very busy and crowded, this leads to a lack of seating or when there are seats available uncleared tables. Would be a nice spot if it was not as crowded.

food very good and at reasonable prices for a London site

Excellent location overlooking the Marina!

I visited it on a 2005 night with a group of tourists. It was a unforgettable experience definitely.

What a Pub...views!!! I was delighted with the structure of this place! Full of energy, delicious beers and fantastic staff! Great atmosphere to go with friends. I imagine that in the hot days in London! Unfortunately I visited at the end of the winter...and I loved anyway.... But I hope to go back soon!

Christmas set meal was fantastic (grill bar), so decided to go again a year after for a general meal (grill bar), the food quality had gone down and staff were playing music out of their phone in the kitchen so what could have been a relaxing meal certainly was not. If your going to have an open kitchen in the restaurant area then you need to think about your customers in the restaurant. Your customers do not appreciate explicit music when eating!

(Translated by Google) Incredible atmosphere and great drinks! (Original) Ambiente incrível e ótimas bebidas!

Beef in Sunday roast was a bit tough. Staff very pleasant

Great atmosphere and offering steins is a huge bonus

£5 for "cheesy" chips with the barest smattering of cheese on them...

Pub is nice but food is terrible, over priced and really awful. I had the chicken burger and it was worse than a McDonald's meal and £13

Visited the Grill Restaurant, food very good and at reasonable prices for a London site. Downstairs bar very busy but service was quick and efficient.

Love this place

Great city based venue for team away days. Very friendly staff

Great food clean and good friendly staff

Geared for tourists, not great food would rather go down Wapping High to the Rams Gate

(Translated by Google) Cool bar (Original) Классный бар

£18 for a poor quality burger and fries, the “ultimate burger” apparently, ULTIMATE LET DOWN more like. Staff were nice enough and the setting is obviously pretty, shame as if someone could be bothered to match the food menu to the look of the place they’d be onto a winner

The location of this pub is beautiful and the building is stunning. However the food is not good and it is overpriced. There is just one single vegetarian option on the menu, which is a falafel burger for nearly £14. The 'look' was outdated, compared to other veggie burger you can eat in London at the moment. It was not even a real falafel, but a fried flat chickpea patty, served with some red onions on top. I think you can buy those frozen sort of patties for very small money in every supermarket. Very disappointed!

Friendly staff and covid conscious business. They have a lovely guy welcoming people with a mask who clearly lays out the rules and checks that you have registered with the track and trace qr system before allowing you in. There is plenty of outside seating and many markings inside along with one way systems. Drinks not badly priced for London and beautiful views.

This is a solid place to eat,not too expensive and quite tasty. I'd say The Dickens Inn is one of the best pub in London because of its location and the atmosphere of the place. I'll definitely come here again soon!

One of my favourite spots for a pint of beer in London. Nestled into St Katherine's beautiful Dock and surrounded by lovely boats / yachts. If you go to the Tower of London next door then you should pop in for refreshments.

This is one of my favourites pubs! Specially during summertime! Enjoy a drink with friends at their flowery terrace! The music inside is always great and the staff are so friendly and nice, specially the host! Strongly recommended!

Always good for a meet (of course, when open)

(Translated by Google) We went on a year-end trip in 2020, in February before the covid. We ran off the bridge because it started to rain and we took shelter in this bar. There was a waitress from Spain who treated us all luxuriously and we were able to order chocolates and coffee while we dried ourselves from the rain. Highly recommended (Original) Fuimos de viaje de fin de curso en 2020, para febrero antes del covid. Bajamos corriendo del puente porque empezó a llover y nos resguardamos en este bar. Había una camarera de España la cual nos trato de lujo a todos y nos pudimos pedir chocolates y café mientras nos secábamos de la lluvia. Muy recomendado

(Translated by Google) Atmosphere very nice. We're in because the place seemed very full. This is what he was. Service nice and prices ok. For a cool blonde, I would look inside again. (Original) Atmosphäre sehr schön. Wir sind rein weil der Laden sehr voll schien. Dies ist er auch gewesen. Bedienung nett und Preise ok. Für nen kühles Blondes würde ich noch einmal rein schauen.

Typical English pub with a great location overlooking the marina. Horrendous value though, any of the other pubs within a 10 min walk offer much better food for a fraction of the cost. Will not be going here again.

The food used to be really good, unfortunately it’s now very mediocre but still very highly priced. Lovely service and location, but unfortunately very mediocre food.

Absolutely beautiful venue and polite staff. Sadly very overpriced and not great quality. Paid about £14 for a full English breakfast that was barely lukewarm, and the sausages tasted like they were the cheapest ones they could find.

£11.50 for a plate of chips

A very disappointing first experience. On arrival, there was a customer arguing with the staff about his food order being wrong twice and stated he had been there for two hours and the service was poor. It put me off at first but I decided to give it a try as my friend who was with me was really hungry. After sitting down, it took around 15 mins to be served and during this time, two families came in, saw the menus and left without ordering, possibly due to the prices, £15 for fish and chips, £17 for a burger and £14 for a pepperoni pizza! I ordered the pizza and it tasted nice but nothing special. Once I had finished, I tried to get staff attention three times, all three times, the staff said they would be with me but never returned. 20 mins later, I walked up to the bar and asked for the bill, without the service charge as it had been poor. The manager came over, did not for one second ask how my overpriced pizza was and just said ‘yeah, the service charge will be taken off’, almost as if she knew it was coming. Not one member of staff asked if everything was ok either. They also had a fair amount of staff working and it wasn’t exactly heaving with customers, so it was in my opinion just a lack of care for customers. This has been the second bad experience with a pub for me since the second lockdown has been lifted and it’s made me realise, I actually don’t want to waste my money on pubs anymore, especially not ones like this.

Make sure check your bill before you pay Rest was good

Good selection of beer and nice inside. However the quality of the meat in the burger was not good at all and for £18 you expect something better that a tough burger van patty. We had some nachos too and the cheese was so smokey you could barely taste anything else. Would have been worse if it weren't for the chips which were very good. Good for drinking but wouldn't eat there again.

So I’d say a solid 7, good effort but they could have made more of the trees out the front. Bit lacklustre this year. Scott Morgan 2020 (expert Christmas light reviewer)

Service was very slow. Lovely setting though. We felt very safe as well

Table service was quite efficient given the demand as it was quite busy in there

Nice & cozy

Really over priced and the food was very average

One of my favourite pubs in London great atmosphere wonderful views of st Catherine's dock

Where us your soul gone?

Wonderfull place with strong character, very customer oriented staff and amazing architecture.

Beautiful pub in a fantastic location. There's a reason it is always in the guide books! Perfect for an afternoon drink after exploring the docks!

Took a group of 7 here one evening for a meal in the grill. I hadn't booked but the staff were extremely helpful and arranged things in no time at all. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced, and the whole place was comfortable and cozy. Will be going back.

Not a bad place to have a few

Beer is okay, avoid the food

No heaters in October and the food portions were small and borderline raw. Hope it was just due to being busy on a Sunday...

Absolutely fantastic location. Great looking pub with all the history & class packed into it. Top-class COVID-19 measures in place. Sadly it all ends there. The Dickens Inn unfortunatley doesn't quite know how to manage the establishment when it gets too busy or when they've evidently taken on too many people. We were seated on the first floor and when we arrived at 2pm, everything was going fine. We would order from the table and someone would drop off the drinks within 10-15 minutes which is what the application highlights as the waiting time. Closer to 4pm, when the place was brimming with people, my friend ordered a beer and there was no sign of the beer come 4.45pm. We had a dinner reservation and went downstairs to signal this to the staff who actually had the beer ready & waiting at the bar but had no one who could pick it up. Eventually, he just asked for a refund on the beer and they were happy to process it. How can you let in so many people during COVID-19 when you are fully aware that drinks & food can only be ordered through an app? Surely in the background you know that you only have staff that can cope with 50 people and surely you know that 45 minutes + for one drink is not acceptable? Feel sorry for the staff as this is clearly a decision from the top which has backfired heavily.

It was vwry busy, not enough space between tables. Facilities/toilets poor.

Pleasant location. Staff friendly. Could do with better ale selection.

Beautiful pub and lovely location.

Beautiful pub holding their own during quarantine.

Nice old pub with a good atmosphere. A bit on the expensive touristy side, but still a beautiful place to go to.

Impressive pub inside & out. Lovely views if you can sit by a window. We only had drinks here, which were nice & a fair price, so can't comment on food. There were a couple of large & loud families in & i got the feeling maybe the tables could've been wiped down a bit more regularly. Maybe if we went up another floor it would be a bit more formal for eating. Nice views over the dock though so we will return !

The Scotch Egg on the top floor Restaurants were lovely. Great view and excellent for a city break.

Nice pub and close to the Tower hotel... For nice food and stuff are friendly 😃

Lovely pub, right in At Katherine Docks. Friendly staff, great selection of food & drink. Nice little bolt hole.

Really nice views. Pretty good service generally. Prices are reasonable. Had problems with ordering drinks online but the manager explained what was going on. I personally feel like they could make certain things clearer like what time the garden shuts, last orders, what to do if the app fails. Just little tweaks which would increase the stars. I'd definitely go back!!

Came here for my 23rd Birthday meal. Really nice place down by the river in London Bridge, had a good experience, however the prices are just a little steep and this is probably down to the location. Food was great and very filling but I wouldn’t come here for a pint due to the prices. Didn’t also help I had a beer spilt on me but me and my mates had a very good evening.

Awfully slow, sloppy service. After 42 minutes of waiting for a simple fish and chips, I complained and the manager took charge of it and amended the whole thing. Wouldn’t come back, wouldn’t recommend. Way better food in way too many other London pubs. Edit: Full disclaimer, I received a refund and the manager apologized. Raising the review one star because of it.

Very good service, great food (we had the Ultimate Burger and the Fish & Chips, good value with great views (it's hard to believe you are in the middle of London) and the drinks weren't outrageous. We thoroughly enjoyed it and sat out on the top balcony

I went to the Grill restaurant upstairs for my friend's birthday, and half way through eating my salad a slug slithered out of the leaves! I was shocked and disgusted and so was the rest of our table. The staff were very apologetic and allowed me to order another meal for free, but at that point I had lost my appetite. Overall I think the restaurant was very quaint and beautiful, just very unfortunate what happened which ruined everything.

Staying close by, searched for best pub in area, and this popped up. The burger meat was good, lettuce and tomato- soso. The photo is great, I added the gold crown for a little extra detail. 😉

Beautiful looking pub overlooking the Quay. Nice area to have a walk around. The food was very expensive for what it is, but I guess your paying for the location.

I braved the rain and made my way to The Dickens Inn for some very tasty fish-n-chips! I wasn't disappointed either, they were fabulous. My Tom Collins was also very refreshing. I've been here before and have always been very satisfied. The area, St Katharine Docks, is great and offers fantastic views of the Tower Bridge and The Tower of London. Service is wonderful and if the weather's nice you can sit outside on the patios.

We had our engagement party here in the Pickwick room and it was so great. The room was beautiful, the staff so friendly and professional. Was plenty of space for food (which was delicious), live music, drinks and the balcony provided a nice little overflow. They let us in all afternoon to set up, and couldn’t have been nicer. It was also very reasonably priced (for a 100 person wedding related event in central London…). I would recommend for any party!

This is an awesome pub because they allows dogs inside and out. Just not in the restaurant part upstairs but enough space downstairs. Good range of beers and spirits available. The food options are thin but considering it's a pub the options are good. The service was super fast and the staff were very friendly.

Great venue for large events! Hosted a Happy Hour and sit-down meal here for a group of 150 and everything was great - food options were clearly described and seamlessly ordered in advance, and catered to all diets. The venue is a beautiful historic pub, and service is prompt and friendly. Overall, highly recommended - will definitely revisit for a quick drink in future!

Could not recommend this place enough! Our host server (Moon) at the Grill was very friendly and helpful when deciding what to eat based on previous good recommendations! I had the creamy mushrooms for starter which was packed full over flavour and a very generous portion side. Had the chicken schnitzel for main which was nice, coming with a side salad and chunky fries. Highly recommend this place. Cute spot for lunch right on St Katherine’s doc, so you can sit on the balcony if the weather permits or by the window indoors. The vibe is very relaxed and chill and a lovely place to go on a date, or a nice family meal out!

Met up with an old friend for drinks and a bite to eat. Burgers are tasty and juicy, no fault there. Amazing atmosphere and decor. Will definitely be going again.

Stopping in a hotel close by so went for a drink and a meal . Great place to go to with seating outside. Very busy late evening. Right on the marina. There is only one way to get to it at this moment due to the bridges not working. It has two floors both you can get served food and drink . Very traditional indeed de with wooden tables and chairs . Menu was ok but we stayed downstairs not sure it’s the same menu upstairs. Stop serving food at 9.30 pm . Staff friendly and polite. Food was ok. Great location. Prices ok for London ££. Meals average on approx £15 . Drinks the same . Car park not sure as you have to go over bridge but there are signs to say pedestrians and cars so maybe be parking . From the outside at night with the old glass lamps and cobblestones it really stands out . Definitely go back too . Not the best photos to look at which is a shame . Sorry !

A gorgeous beautiful pub located in the heart of St Katherine’s docks just a walking distance from Tower Bridge. Here you can get a nice view of the docks.
