The Dickens Tavern 25 London Street, London W2 1HH

"Came to London for a weekend away and stopped by for a family meal. Food was lovely and so many varieties of drinks to choose from, the pub is well stocked. Bar area looks stunning with the decor, the place is kept really clean and tidy considering how big it is inside. Joanne the manager was a star and so polite, friendly and funny made us feel so welcomed, believe she was working with a lad called Michael who served our food (10/10 for the fish and chips and burgers) and was very helpful and an absolute pleasure. Pub also has a pool table which was very cool as we haven’t seen any in our short stay here. Will definitely be back when we visit London again we can’t wait"

"We are couple from Israel came to see the World Cup final. Great place they save for us. Good food and drinks. Nice stuff and good environment. We will come again for sure."

"This is one of my most favourite pubs in town. The manageress and staff are welcoming and ever so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. I would advise to pop in for a service with a smile. Not only that, this is a lovely historical pub xx keep up the good work guys xx"

"We needed a stop near Paddington and chose the Dickens Tavern nearest to avoid the rain. We were not disappointed with our quest for pub dinner. Steak and ale pie, short crust pastry mash and cabbage, nicely done and very enjoyable. The BBQ chicken was well cooked and served with fries. The chicken served with a hunters type sauce. Service was with a smile and food came quickly. The only downside was when the music was turned up at 1930. For pub fare and pleasant surrounding this is one."

"The place didn't look much on the outside, however, when we walked in, we were greeted by a nice member of staff who led us to the table at the far end of the pub. After the 3 Lions' game and every fan started leaving, staff cleaned the tables and went back to tell us that we can sit anywhere we fancy so that we were more comfortable. We stayed put as it wasn't too bad at all, but this was a really nice gesture from staff. We had a perfectly cooked fish and chips, and beef and cheese burger. We took our time enjoying the ambience of a traditional British pub. Yes, the place doesn't look glamorous when viewed from the outside but we can see that this place is a local favourite. I am not surprised, and if I live locally, I most likely frequent this pub. The food, the feel and friendliness of staff were highly commendable. Brilliant team they have here. Loved the ceiling art!"
