Situated in the heart of London on the banks of the River Thames, the popular Doggett’s Coat and Badge is the perfect venue for special events.

The venue’s name pays tribute to Thomas Doggett, the organiser of the  London Bridge to Chelsea rowing race along the Thames, which is said to be the oldest continuous sporting event in the UK. First held in 1715,  the race takes place in July each year and runs over four miles and seven furlongs. The boat race winner would be awarded a waterman’s coat and badge, hence the name ‘Doggett’s Coat and Badge’. Hungry for sweeping riverside views that pair perfectly with your favourite dishes? The Terrace Bar can host 35-seated guests or 120  standing. It’s a unique combination of relaxation and sophistication for events. Alternatively, the Doggett Bar can accommodate 80 seated people and 110 standing.
