London

The best dog-friendly places, picked by locals and the Doggo team.

Home Destinations

London is one of the most genuinely dog-friendly capitals in the world: 3,000-plus hectares of Royal Parks, a café culture that mostly welcomes a well-behaved dog at your feet, and a tube network that lets dogs ride free (on a lead or carried, on the escalators). This guide is the Doggo team’s pick of where to stay, eat, walk and play with your dog across the city – tested by locals, not lifted from a press release.
