Whether you're a London local or planning a city escape with your canine companion, the capital has more dog-friendly gems than you might expect. From chic cafes and off-lead parks to shops and stays that actually welcome dogs, here's your guide to sniffing out the best of London with your pup by your side.

🐾 Getting Around

London’s public transport is more dog-friendly than many cities. Dogs of all sizes are welcome on the Tube, Overground, buses, and even some riverboats—just make sure they’re on a lead and well-behaved. Bring a blanket or towel for their comfort, especially on longer journeys.

A rustic, candle-lit British restaurant that welcomes well-behaved dogs. Great for a cozy dinner after a walk in Hyde Park.

3. Love My Human Townhouse (Chelsea)

🌳 Parks & Open Spaces

1. Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens

Central London’s iconic green lungs. Let your pup enjoy a stroll along the Serpentine, but keep an eye on leash signs.

Wild, open, and off-lead friendly. The Heath has woodland trails, swimming ponds (yes, some dogs do take the plunge), and rolling hills with killer views of London.

3. Greenwich Park

Historic and spacious, with designated off-leash areas and plenty of squirrels to chase (sorry, squirrels).
