Frequently Asked Questions

Resolve your doubts about St Katharine Docks | The secret port of Tower Bridge

Yes, totally free. Although it is a private marina where luxury yachts anchor, its walkways, pedestrian bridges and plazas are open to the general public 24 hours a day.
It is one of London's most iconic and visually stunning pubs. It was originally an 18th century tea warehouse and brewery. It was relocated and rebuilt in wood, and in spring it is completely covered with hanging flowers.
It's the best hidden place. If you leave the marina on the south side towards the Thames River path, you will have a front and side view of Tower Bridge without the crowds of the Tower of London.
You can check the Bridge Lifts schedules directly on the official Tower Bridge website. They usually open several times a day during the summer months.

The soul of this experience

You just took the classic photo in front of the London Fortress and the immense Tower Bridge. Around you there are hundreds of tourists, traffic noise and stress. But you have a secret. You walk a few meters to the east, cross under an inconspicuous pedestrian bridge, and suddenly the chaos disappears. You have just entered St Katharine Docks, the only marina in central London. It is an oasis surrounded by skyscrapers where historic sailboats and luxury yachts rest on calm waters. It is the perfect definition of an urban sanctuary.

What will you find along the way?

Your Dive Protocol: Start your tour from the west entrance (next to Tower Bridge). It skirts the main dock clockwise. Enjoy the sound of the water and the modern architecture that surrounds the old docks. Your main objective is to reach the central square where The Dickens Inn stands, a spectacular 18th century pub rebuilt in wood and covered almost entirely by hanging flowers.

Take a break here. When finished, head towards the south exit that faces the River Thames. You’ll discover a small hidden pedestrian walkway that will offer you the best side view of Tower Bridge in all of London, without a single tourist blocking your camera.

Security level

Green Zone: It is a high-income private marina open to the public. It has 24/7 private security and surveillance cameras. Extremely safe to walk with expensive equipment.

Accessibility and mobility

Inclusion Grade: Silver. 90% of the route has ramps and wide hallways. However, some walkways around the water are made of natural wood slats, which can cause a slight vibration in wheelchairs.

Golden Spot Tips

The real Golden Spot is not inside the marina, but at its southern exit. As you leave St Katharine Docks towards the river, you will come to a small pedestrian bay. You have a completely clear, water-level side view of the Tower Bridge. Activate portrait or wide angle mode. It’s the perfect spot to video if you’re lucky enough that the bridge is opening to let a boat pass.
