Reopened on June 11th 2021 with new owner. There are usually 3 beers on the handpumps.

Quiz night is Mondays (we advise booking a table) and there is a pianist on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons.

The Monument was established as a pub in 1803 and the building itself is even older, sitting on the crossroads of St Dunstans Street, London Road and Whitstable Road for over 400 years. With St Dunstans church just opposite, the street outside has remained the main route into Canterbury from London for over a millennium.

The name of The Monument comes from a large wooden crucifix which stood on the junction outside. Sadly, it was removed before the invention of photography but an artist's impression sits proudly opposite the main bar. The wooden cross would have welcomed pilgrims to Canterbury after the arduous journey from London, signifying that they had made it to the city, with the West Gate and city walls finally in sight.

Historic Interest

400 years old, opposite St Dunstans Church where Sir Thomas More's head is buried
