Doggett's Coat And Badge, Thomas Doggett's Bar

It's an intriguing tale. The name, "Doggett's Coat and Badge," honors Thomas Doggett, who organized the historic London Bridge to Chelsea rowing race in the Thames. This event, dating back to 1715, is considered the oldest continuous sporting competition in the UK. The four-mile, seven-furlong race occurs annually in July. The winner was originally awarded a waterman's coat and badge, inspiring the pub's name.

Upon Doggett's death in 1721, he bequeathed in his will that The Fishmongers' Company continue the race, a tradition upheld to this day. Located along the race course in South Bank, our pub is named in homage to its founder.
