Doggett’s Coat and Badge is a large riverside pub and restaurant at 1 Blackfriars Bridge on London's South Bank. Spread across several floors, it offers views over the Thames, a restaurant level, outside space and rooms that can be booked for private gatherings.
The kitchen serves British pub classics throughout the day, with pies among the Nicholson’s house specialities. Burgers, fish and chips, lighter plates and seasonal dishes provide familiar choices for lunch or dinner, while Sunday service suits a traditional roast.
Cask ale, lager, wine, gin and other bar drinks remain central to the experience. Guests can order at the table, walk in for a casual visit or arrange food for collection, giving the venue enough flexibility for office lunches, sightseeing breaks and after work gatherings.
The pub takes its name from Thomas Doggett and the historic Thames rowing race whose winner receives a waterman's coat and badge. That connection to the river, combined with the views and substantial food service, gives Doggett’s a distinctive identity among central London pubs.
Address: 1 Blackfriars Bridge, London SE1 9UD, England
