The hotel

The Dixon, Tower Bridge
, an award-winning boutique style hotel part of Autograph Collection Hotels opened its doors in late 2018. Taking centre stage in the Tower Bridge neighbourhood on Tooley Street, The Dixon, Tower Bridge, Autograph Collection is the new cultural hub for the capital’s centre of artistic activity. The hotel won Luxury Hotel of the Year in London
title at the Travel & Hospitality Awards 2024 and
England's Leading Design Hotel 2025
at the World Travel Awards.
Named after John Dixon Butler, the architect who originally constructed the building in 1905 as a Magistrates Court and police station, the hotel takes inspiration from the area’s vibrant cultural heritage, while also capturing its new wave of creative cool.

The 193 rooms will redefine the traditional boutique hotel by seamlessly incorporating the local neighbourhood’s culture through an artful mix of heritage design. Think simple brickwork, tall windows and modern furniture from British designers that will sit alongside more classic pieces, whilst curated artworks from local artists will hang on the walls.?

Cleverly reflecting the buildings purpose as a courtroom, the restaurant will serve as a neighbourhood oasis that will welcome not only hotel guests but also the local trade.
