DOCKERS INN, London

The inn is situated in a quiet residential area along the Thames in Wapping, offering a peaceful retreat from central London. Tower Bridge and the Tower of London are a 20-minute walk or a 10-minute drive away. Brick Lane is 3 km from the property, and London City Airport is 9 km away. Wapping Overground station is steps away, and the 100 bus route (to St Paul's) stops nearby. The immediate area feels safe, with a supermarket directly opposite, several pubs and cafes within a 5-minute walk, and excellent transport links to the O2 Arena (30 minutes by public transport) and Excel Centre (34 minutes by public transport).

All rooms feature an en-suite bathroom (with either a shower or a bath, depending on the room), a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, carpeted floors, and heating. Standard double rooms are compact, often with limited storage and walking space. Some rooms have private balconies or terraces. Noise is a common issue: rooms facing the pub courtyard or street can be very loud due to live music, ventilation equipment, or traffic. Road-facing and ground-floor rooms are noisiest. Single-glazed windows and limited heating can make the room cold in winter. The quality of room fittings and cleanliness varies, with some reporting stained carpets, mould, and broken fixtures. The most spacious option is the ground-floor suite, which is larger and quieter.

Dockers Inn's restaurant offers a family-friendly atmosphere combining traditional and modern decor. The menu covers British, American, seafood, local, European, and barbecue grill cuisines, open for lunch, dinner, and high tea. A cocktail hour is also available. Special diet menus can be requested in advance. There is no hot breakfast served; instead, a complimentary breakfast bag is provided in the room, containing fruit, porridge, and juice. The pub also offers a good selection of draught beers and pizzas. The restaurant operating hours are 02:00-08:00 daily (overnight hours). The pub is closed on Mondays for food service, but nearby restaurants are within walking distance.

Evening entertainment includes live music performances and karaoke, all free of charge. Live sport events are also broadcast on TV. The property has a garden, terrace, and outdoor seating area. The surrounding area offers boating on the Thames. The pub's courtyard is popular for socialising but can be noisy for ground-floor rooms. The atmosphere inside the pub is welcoming and lively.

The inn offers free Wi-Fi throughout. Daily housekeeping is provided at no additional cost, but room servicing is not automatic - requests for fresh towels or cleaning must be made at reception. Luggage storage is available for before check-in and after check-out. Check-in is handled at the pub's bar, and a key-lock system provides access through a locked external gate. Reception staff are available until 22:30. For accessibility, the property has an emergency cord in the bathroom, a lower bathroom sink, and a toilet with grab rails. There is no lift. Cots can be provided on request. The property has CCTV in common areas and outside, along with fire extinguishers, a security alarm, and key access.
