Docklands - St Katharine's Dock in Tower Hamlets

Great choice of restaurants reasonably priced. Weent to the Turkish restaurant Food great but best of all was the service. Very friendly and welcoming.

God pub and venue - spoiled by horrible venting of smoke from kitchen onto outside terrace - looked like some kind of war scene! Staff were genuinely embarrassed by it and frustrated by delay in fixing the issue. Get it sorted management!

Simply one of the most beautiful parts of London with lot's to see and do. Great choice of places to eat and drink and SKD feels like a you're out of London and in another world. Amazing!

My goodness how could this establishment masquerading as a restaurant/cafe be rated at 4.5. This will remain a puzzle for me long after I endeavour to expunge the memory of my visit to this dreadful place from my memory banks. Appalling, awful ‘ pig swill ‘ being served up to customers by service staff who essentially do nothing more than grunt at customers. Friends and I made the mistake of visiting this place recently for what we were hoping was going to be a lovely breakfast in the beautiful surrounds of this area. Our experience was beyond disappointing as people should not be allowed to offer up this ‘ Pig Swill ‘ to paying customers. I asked for nothing too extravagant …. fried eggs with some crisp bacon. What I received was an offering that would perhaps be offered at the Gulag …. two undercooked eggs and two very thin rashers of bacon, the bulk of the plate was then covered with some type of limp lettuce and what made it even worse was receiving barely lukewarm food ??? Our friends and I certainly are happy to pay for good quality food, but paying nearly 23 pounds ( $43.00 Aud ) is simply outrageous and I now understand why hundreds of thousands of English people have emigrated to Australia ….. certainly not just for the sun and a better quality of life but to have decent quality food ! Having spent a number of weeks in beautiful Italy sampling wonderful food this experience was indeed a shock to the system. Please, please look for other options …. give this establishment a VERY VERY WIDE BERTH !!

Si tratta di un piccolo porto turistico, proprio dietro al Tower Bridge. Scoperto per caso navigando sul web alla ricerca di informazioni per il mio viaggio a Londra, devo ammettere che si tratta di un luogo assolutamente non considerato dalle classiche guide turistiche cartacee italiane (che infatti non ne parlano minimamente). Atmosfera suggestiva e rilassante, qui non si respira la frenesia tipica londinese, ma si può passeggiare con calma ammirando le barche, i piccoli ponti, gli scorci più pittoreschi. Lungo tutta la marina si susseguono bar e ristoranti: il dock è perfetto quindi per trascorrere una piacevole serata a cena.

I stumbled upon this small haven of bars/restaurants/boats as I was leaving my visit to the Tower Bridge, just a short jaunt across the street. I’m glad I chose to eat lunch at a restaurant in this “quarter” of the city. TripAdvisor labels this listing as a restaurant, but this is not accurate—St. Katharine’s Dock is a broader public area home to many amazing eateries and views. You won’t want to miss either! It’s safe, clean, and worth your time.

You could be abroad and seems a million miles away from the chaotic parts of touristy London. So lovely to take a wander around - so peaceful and great looking at the boats moored there. Great place to stop for a meal and/or drink.

St Katherines Dock was behind the hotel I stayed in recently. The Tower hotel. Well worth a walk around the dock and maybe stop off at one of the many restaurants there for a meal with a view! Very interesting place.

This is a lovely peaceful little marina surrounded by lots of bars and restaurants all tucked away behind the tower hotel. It’s a lovely spot to sit outside and dine on a summers evening and the royal barge is moored there as well which is a nice bonus

This place just took our breath away. It seems to have everything. There are many places to eat including the usual chains but it is so quiet and peaceful and spooky to think that Tower Bridge and all the traffic is just a stone's throw away. Time seems to stand still here and you can have a relaxing drink while just watching the world go by. We were so taken with this place that next time we're in London we will stay at the Premier Inn near to Tower Gateway so that we can explore a bit more.

Le début d'une très belle promenade le long de la Tamise à la découverte des Docklands de Londres. St Katherine's Docks est situé à 2 pas de la Tower of London. La marina est très agréable, il y a des bars et restaurants avec de belles terrasses pour les beaux jours. Ne pas hésiter à prolonger la balade jusqu'au docks suivants, ils ont tous été superbement réaménagés.

Even bough most of Tower Bridge is shadowed by the monstrous Guoman Hotel, this benefitted the area as there aren’t that many tourists venturing this way. As a local I love that. Quiet as a village, peppered with cafes and restaurants, and the closest Wapping gets to a French Riviera.

Lovely to sit outside & take in the sights & sounds of London. Some great bars with a wonderful atmosphere.

Pleasant and nice to walk around , plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from, felt totally safe to walk around a night

Doky jsou vedle Tower Bringe, stojí za návštěvu. Krom spousty lodí jsou zde stánky s jídlem z celého světa obvykle v ceně 7-10£. Scházejí se tu místní na oběd a k chvilce posezení v klidu. Místo má velmi příjemnou atmosféru.

Very lively plenty of choices to satisfy every taste or just sit & watch the hustle & bustle of people going to & from The Tower of London, Tower Bridge or a river cruise

such a lovely area to relax with friends or famiy loads of nice food outlets and just a short walk from tower bridge

calle El muelle de Katharine es un lugar maravilloso para visitar. Está en un hermoso entorno junto al Tower Bridge y muy cerca de la Torre de Londres. Hay una gran variedad de barcos para ver algunos de los cuales pertenecen a los ricos y famosos. Pudimos ver la gran barcaza real Gloriana y el enorme bote de Roger Moore amarrado al lado. El muelle también está lleno de historia, pero es necesario que consigas una guía o información de Internet para apreciar plenamente ese lado. Si estás allí en un día soleado, es un lugar muy agradable para sentarse y ver pasar el mundo. Todo el lugar tiene un ambiente hermoso. También obtienes excelentes vistas del río Támesis, así que toma tu cámara.

It's nice to walk from Tower to St. Katharine's Dock and onwards to Wapping. The walk offers some nice views of London landmarks and pleanty of pubs to grap a beer on the way. Wapping is off the beaten track, but a lovely, historic place.

Sûrement mieux l'été, mais lieu au calme et au bord de l'eau ou il fait bon se promener.Nombreux restaurants.

Uno de esos lugares que me encanta visitar y esta vez llevé a mi hija por primera vez. Fuimos en la noche cuando todo estaba bien iluminada y disfrutamos de nuestro paseo mirando los barcos amarrados y tomamos el aroma de los restaurantes locales placeres gastronómicos.

Nice place to walk around and to have a snack and a few drinks. We sat outside to eat. Worth a visit if your in the area.

Abajo al lado del Tower Bridge, justo detrás del hotel más feas en el REINO UNIDO, se encuentra la calle Kats, un muelle histórico, actualmente utilizado como un puerto deportivo de Londres con toda una serie de tiendas y restaurantes en las tres cuencas de yates.

It is a great place to wander round in the evening to look at the boats and people watch followed by a drink and a meal.

An area of interest where you can stroll and watch the river traffic, catch a cup of coffee and look at the variety of sailing boats moored in the dock. Several street food units where you can grab a snack.

we visit this lovely dock quite often, but decided to try Friday lunch at the Street food market, only on Fridays, there are about 20 food stalls ranging from Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian and lots more, all seemed good, we had Indian, Texan and Chinese, all excellent and good value for money

showed friends this little gem and they were astounded with this attraction. nice place to sit and have a meal day or night

Jolie marina, avec un grand choix de restaurants, promenade agréable. Nous étions à l’hôtel juste à côté sans présager d'un...

Gran lugar para comer y beber. Es fácil llegar desde la estación de Fenchurch Street. Ambiente animado. Mucha variedad y un encantador lugar para caminar. La última visita de diciembre pero un encantador lugar todo el año.

Only a minute's walk from Tower Bridge and you are away from the noise and traffic, looking at boats that cost more than the average house. There is a small Starbucks and a few small shops, as well as restaurants. A few older buildings hint at what East End London used to be like before the developers moved in.

Excellent dock to visit with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to choose from. Right beside Tower Bridge. Fascinating to look over all the various boats modern and old tied up in the Docks.

This is a really nice Marina tucked away by the North bank of the River Thames, East of Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. Given the location, it's surprising peaceful. It is a nice place to go for walk around the dock, and you can enjoy looking at the quite impressive moored yachts. There are also a few restaurants and a nice Pub (The Dicken's Inn) if you fancy a drink. This is a good place to go if you want a little break from the more dynamic London atmosphere.

Some good coffee shops and restaurants. Ambiance was a bit less attractive than what i have seen here. stay away from Dickens pub if you care for good food.

Tucked away behind all the hustle and bustle. This beautiful marina is quiet and peaceful. Great for a stroll with plenty of places to stop for drinks, snacks or dinner.

This area of London used to be popular with people in the "know" and you hardly used to see any tourists here. It was somewhere you can get away from the busy and vibrant city of London. Alas the secret is out and this place is now popular with locals and tourists alike. However, it still retains its charm. Sometimes you can see yachts worth over a million docked there... They're now have a growing number of restaurants (catering to all budgets) and bars. I love this area in London.

E' da vedere e all'interno si trova il ristorante "Dickens Inn" che consiglio di andarci a pranzare.

This is is gem of a place on the north bank of Thames river.Classic walk of a dock with lots of nostalgia and beautiful attractions.

St Katherine's Docks is a lovely little area. We went at night to eat in one of the restaurants & the night view was beautiful. Seeing the boats lined up, little white lights & the clean restaurants & bars have the area thar personal touch. I would definitely revisit this place again.

Mooie plek, mooie boten te bezichtigen en goed restaurants rondom deze haven. Echt een aanrader om lekker op een terras te zitten

If you're a Bob Hoskins fan, you would have noticed the crummy backdrop from some of the Tower Bridge scenes, well you'll be happy to know that these have been redeveloped throughout the 70's, 80's and finally 90's to make a beautiful Marina (Known as St Kats) and with some rebuilt, and some renovated buildings. Sadly, the ugly-as-hell Tower Bridge Hotel is included, but sometimes there is a beauty in the ugliness, so take a short look, then perhaps look the other way to the basin of lovely Boats (Mmmm) and good selection of food-stops!! Theres a cracking selection with a weekly market too. Peruse the millionaires playthings for free, have a few dreams, and then eat and drink to your hearts content. p.s. Some of the boats cost under £10,000 so with a little help from the bank, you too could sail in and pick a berth! It's great...

This area is full of restaurants on the waterside, Great variety of cuisines and lovely place to sit down, relax, eat or drink or just stroll around.

The venue scene of the dock area is great especially in summer. There are plenty of restaurants with a good choice of cuisine.. Many of the restaurants have outside seating. There are also some nice bars. Nice also to watch the boats in the dock.

If you like boats then this is the place to go. There are 3 separate marinas I think with boats of all shapes and sizes.During the day it is a peaceful place, on a night not so much, because people are simply enjoying themselves wining and dining. There is no shortage of places to eat both inside and out.if you like strolling by the water in clean surroundings then this is the place.The other thing worth noting is that the Thames,Tower Bridge and Tower of London is just round the corner.

you can make this a day out, after viewing and shopping around Tower bridge take in the bars and restaurants of the dock, very friendly and warm.

I have been to St Katherine's docks on many occasions, eaten and drunk in lots of the bars and restaurants loved being there but never thought of reviewing the place so here is the review;It's a fantastic little enclave in London and an antidote to the hustle and bustle of the South Bank, you can not just love it.

I love sitting in cafes with the relaxing waterview on the docks. It is perfect for weekend brunch and a true delight when the sun comes out.

A lovely location just off Tower Bridge. Seconds away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist area is a quiet marina with bars and restaurants. A perfect escape from the crowds to chill out for lunch or dinner.

One of my favourite places in London. There is something special about yachts that makes a place look luxurious and cool. Nice little shops, several restaurants, the Dickens Inn pub and the Tower hotel make this place an enjoyable area to spend a day when visiting London.

we ordered a lamb dish but got minced lamb and a lot of bread in a tomato sauce the menu said it was marinated and cooked on a skewer do not order this dish unless you love bread

This was a visit to see off the 12 Clipper boats on their round the world race. This was a great event, especially if you have been involved in a previous race, intend to go in future or are seeing off friends or relatives on the current race. It is a great venue to show off the boats and to introduce the crews, skippers and sponsors. Food and drinks were available from the pub, not visited, and Strarbucks. Starbucks was over crowded and the heated ham and cheese croissant very ordinary. However the atmosphere for the occasion was excellent and to see Tower Bridge opened twice for the Clipper fleet an exceptional experience. On a normal quiet day this is a delightful place to visit with the Tower of London and Tower Bridge to explore nearby. The high end boats sit quietly in their berths and there is always the interest of boats locking in and out from the Thames. A trip on the Thames by ferry boat is also available from here and is not to be missed. There are lots of restaurants that overlook the dock to try. Overall a great experience and one that Great Britain and London can be proud of. It was interesting to compare the photos of the cities that will be visited during the Clipper race. Only Sydney really compares with the view of St Catherines Dock, Tower Bridge and the architecture around that area. Outstanding!

Great place to go eat and drink and meet up with people. Lovely surroundings. I would recommend if your near by.

Best Starbucks I've been to..always wanted to visit St Katharine's Dock and spotted it on a google street search..checked the opening hours as I knew I would be in the vicinity around 0700..I was not disappointed..it wasn't until I got inside I noticed there was seating upstairs which allows a panoramic view of the dock..marvellous to watch the bridges open and the yachts go out..well worth a visit. No doubt it will get busier later in the day but for an early morning coffee what a treat. Due to its small size there is no wc facilities but that is a minor detail..there is also seating outside to enable one to enjoy the lovely surroundings..well worth a visit

I cant fault this area so vibrant yet relazing with so many street cafes bars & restaurants on the river not to mention the history, Tower of London & Tower Bridge with the modern development built up around (such as the Shard) the historic builings which onse was dock lands, it is obvious to see this area has had much money spent on it realy worth a visit

Make sure you pay a visit to St Katherine's Dock!Packed with lovely restaurants, and places to chill after a long day in London.

A little off the high st with some beautiful views of the Thames with some very high end boats. Lovely small little coffee bars & boutiques

There are some yachts, there are some places to eat and drink but we didnt find anywhere inviting at all. Made the mistake if being hard sold into somewhere pretending to be a restaurant but that was a big mistake. Move on

Very small portion of risotto served. When this was mentioned another portion arrived bigger than the first. Very very tasty

Who would have thought that there was a marina right next to Tower Bridge? The land where the currant buildings are situated was given to 12 knights by King Edgar in the 10th Century with the right to trade. There has been a dock there since 1125.Now it has been rejuvenated and the warehouses' are luxury apartments. It has a quaint feel to it and you can spend your time walking the cobbled streets around the marina, marvelling at the luxury yachts and dreaming of setting sail on one.

После ланча, или в перерыве конференции сбегал сюда за кофе (кофе от кертеринг-компании ужасны). Это гораздо вкуснее и приятнее. И всегда знаешь, что ты получишь за свои деньги.Это место могу выделить за отличный вид на St Katharine's Dock. За те же деньги еще можно за кофе полюбоваться на красавицы-яхты.
