Dickens Inn
your comments review this restaurant
I was a bit disappointed with this Inn. As you approach it is a picture, inside lovely, though far too hot and sticky for a sunny April afternoon, turn the heating off!! so it was outside to escape the sauna, and you'd think in a place as pretty as St. Katherine's Dock, lovely views, but no a sunken patio with tables facing each other with only other drinkers to look at, and wasn't overly impressed with the 30 something ladies in hipsters with thongs half way up their backs, (now if they were about 20......) not the pubs fault that though.

The Dickens Inn has a very special place in my heart as it is the pub that my girlfriend and I spent an entire Sunday in after we finally got together one Saturday night in November last year.
It's a stone's throw from my parents' apartment, so is very convenient. I think the service is very good, especially on Friday nights when the place is chocka, it's London so you can't moan about the prices and the food in the upstairs restaurant (the name escapes me at the moment) is fantastic. My dad would heartily recommend the fish and chips.

When people tell you that you're in a tourist pub you'd expect some light heckling of the nomadic matching rucksack brigade, not to be mugged off yourself!
Most of the most appalling customer service outside Libya. There is a pizza restaurant upstairs which is ok, my advice is to eat downstairs and not bother the indolent sods up there, better spend the time waiting for the maligerers downstairs to serve your drink. The only real upside is the posh totty that staggers in off recently crashed yachts to marinade in G&Ts. Oh, and don't talk the the camo-clad nutcase with the 3 inch tigger as I think they've shut whatever home he was in.
