One of the best-kept secret locations in central London, St Katharine's Docks with their riverview cafes and restaurants and shops on the River Thames nestle next to two of the most prominent London landmarks: Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.
Situated at picturesque St Katharine Docks, The Dickens Inn overlooks Tower Bridge and offers panoramic views of the boats and harbour. The unusual timber venue is a former 18th-century spice warehouse, then reconstructed as a one-in-a-kind three storey inn.
