The City of London is a traditional sixteenth century public house located in the centre of the popular village of Dymchurch, Kent. Dymchurch is located in the Shepway District approximately 5 miles west of Hythe and 14 miles south of Ashford. The area is popular with day trippers and tourists seeking to explore the vast marshlands as well as the south Kent coastline running from Dungeness to Folkestone. The area encompasses a large number of tourist attractions including the historic citadel town of Rye, Camber Castle, Dungeness National Nature Reserve and Port Lympne Zoo.
