The Dickens Inn pub in London 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 but was moved and reconstructed in the 18th century to turn into the three storey balconied inn that now graces St Katharine Docks.
This pub by the Thames has two lovely beer gardens with fresh flowers, dining tables, views of the docks, BBQ food and both areas can be booked for private parties during summer. The insides are equally picturesque with antique furniture, airy décor and a focus on friendly service and English pub traditions. The Dickens Inn has five large flat-screen TVs for sports fans who can count on catching all the big games, Wimbledon, football, etc. at this great pub in London.
They have a rich drinks selection and plenty of well-kept ales like London Pride, Greene King IPA, London Glory, Ale Smith etc. The food menu offers a good range of pub grub, speciality steaks, Sunday roasts, snacks and delicious fresh fish. You can also order a home-made pizza to devour for example on sunny balcony.
For bespoke private functions, Christmas parties in London, wedding parties, corporate parties and more, the Dickens suite is a remarkably beautiful venue that can cater for up to 200 people.
