The Dixon, Tower Bridge, Autograph Collection – A Favorite for Families in London

The Dixon, Tower Bridge, Autograph Collection occupies a Grade II-listed building that first opened as a magistrates court in 1906. The original courtroom has been converted into a bar where guests can sit under the historic judge's bench. A preserved jail cell in the restaurant shows the actual size of the cells once used for prisoners, and a feature wall displays old jail keys discovered during renovation.

All 193 guest rooms are air-conditioned and come with 49-inch Samsung Smart TVs, a laptop safe, and a minibar. The bathrooms include a rainfall shower and a built-in speaker connected to the TV. Each room has Google Chromecast, free WiFi, and a nespresso machine, while the hotel offers a 24-hour fitness centre and 24-hour room service.

The on-site restaurant serves Italian cuisine made with local produce and offers an à la carte or buffet breakfast each morning. The Courtroom Bar serves drinks under the original judge's bench and is a highlight for many guests. The Provisioners' cafe on the ground floor provides coffee and snacks, and the hotel also offers afternoon tea in the bar area.

The hotel is 300 metres from Tower Bridge and within walking distance of the Tower of London, Borough Market, and Tate Modern. The London Bridge tube station and underground services are a 10-minute walk away. The property includes accessible amenities such as an emergency cord in bathrooms, lower bathroom sinks, raised toilets, and wheelchair-accessible rooms.

Guests can check in and order room service through a mobile app, and the front desk offers express check-in/out, luggage storage, and lockers.
