dog christmas 1 - Tips For Taking Your Pooch Round London

Tips For Taking Your Pooch Round London

London is a wonderful city, but it can be tricky to navigate if you’re a tourist, let alone a tourist with a big four-legged friend. Below are some tips for taking your pooch round London—and not just any pooch, but one that’s going to need frequent stops and walks because of all the excitement this amazing city has to offer!

Hotels

  • Make sure the hotel allows dogs.
  • Ask if they have a dog menu.
  • Ask if they have a dog walker, so you don’t have to take your pooch out for walks every time you want to go for a drink or meal after work.
  • Ask if there is an in-house spa that does doggy facials, manicures and pedicures, massages and acupuncture for dogs (yes, this does exist).
  • Find out if there’s a room especially for pooches where they can take naps in air conditioning and watch TV with their favorite snacks (this too exists).

Ask if there is an on-site dog walker who can take your pooch for walks in the morning, afternoon and evening. Ask if there are any events that allow dogs, such as charity walks and festivals. Find out if they have a menu for dogs, so you don’t have to worry about their picky eating habits when it comes time for dinner.

Train stations

Another thing to remember is that train stations are generally well-equipped for dogs. They have water fountains, doggy drinking fountains and often dog waste bins (although not all stations have these facilities).

There are lots of pet friendly accommodation options in London as well. However, not all hotels permit dogs or any pets at all. If you would like your dog with you on your trip, make sure to check this out before booking a hotel!

Pet friendly prices vary widely depending on where you stay and what time of year it is (whether there’s an upcoming holiday or conference), but generally speaking most hotels will charge between £10-£20 per night for each dog staying with them (or £7-10 per night if they’re under 10kg).

The good news is that there are plenty of ways to save money on your stay. There are many budget accommodation options in London, including hostels and dormitories. You can also take advantage of deals from sites like Groupon or Travelzoo if you want to visit at a specific time of year (like Valentine’s Day or Christmas).

The Underground

The Underground is a great way to get around London, but it’s not for everyone. The trains are often packed, making canine travel difficult and uncomfortable. However, many lines have special carriages dedicated solely to dog owners that have been fitted with harnesses so they can walk safely while riding in the carriages.

If you’re not sure if your dog can go on the tube during peak hours (the busiest times), ask staff members at the station or call Transport For London directly at 0845 330 9880 before venturing out with your pup. If you plan on taking public transportation with your pet during off-peak hours (outside rush hour), there won’t be as much of a crowd so it should be easier to navigate around and keep track of him/her while he/she explores all those exciting new smells!

If you’re planning on taking public transportation with your pet, keep in mind that most lines have a limit of four dogs per carriage. If this is the case and there are already other passengers with dogs in the carriage, you will need to wait for another train or go with just one dog.

Buses and taxis

If you’re travelling with a dog and want to leave the car at home, buses are an excellent option. With more than 1,500 buses in London, there’s likely to be one near you that allows dogs on board (some even have designated areas).

Handy tip: If your dog is particularly large or small, check with the bus operator first as some may not allow certain breeds.

If taking a taxi is more your speed, it’s worth knowing that almost all cabbies love dogs. There are few better ways of making friends with a new driver than telling them about your pooch!

Car hire is another option, as many companies allow dogs in their vehicles. However, you’ll need to check with the car hire company first and make sure they have space for your furry friend.

If you’re planning on taking public transport, it’s always worth checking with the operator first. Many bus and train operators allow dogs on board but there are some exceptions – for example, London Underground does not permit them at any time.

Shopping

Shopping is one of the best parts of a weekend away. There’s nothing as fun as trying on new outfits, or browsing for that perfect piece of art to add some color to your home. But if you have a dog and are planning to take them shopping with you, there are a few things you should know before heading out:

  • All major stores allow dogs in (though they might not be permitted throughout the entire store). Some smaller shops do not allow pets at all, so it’s always worth checking first before arriving at a store.
  • If you’re going somewhere that doesn’t allow dogs and don’t have access to another place where your pet can wait for you, make sure that their leash is secured properly so they can’t run off when left alone!

The most important thing to remember is that your dog should always be on a leash when they’re outside or in public places. If you have an untrained puppy, then it’s best to keep them at home where they can’t run off and cause any damage.

Green spaces

While there are plenty of green spaces to choose from, here are a few that stand out:

  • Hyde Park is London’s largest public park and offers some great views of Buckingham Palace, St James’ Court and Marble Arch. The park also hosts events throughout the year including concerts and festivals such as Lovebox and Wireless.
  • Battersea Park has everything you could possibly need for a day out with your dog, including formal gardens as well as open spaces to run around in. There’s also an adventure playground for kids and skate park if you want to bring them along too!
  • Regent’s Park boasts an impressive selection of attractions including London Zoo and Primrose Hill, where you can take in spectacular views of London at sunset (be warned though – getting up there is quite steep!).
  • Greenwich Park offers something for everyone; from cycling through its many trails to canoeing on its lakes! Its proximity makes it perfect for those who don’t want to stray too far away from central London yet still want somewhere beautiful where they can relax after work or school hours.

Pubs and cafés

London is a great city for people, but it’s also one of the best cities for pooches. If you’re thinking about taking your four-legged friend on a day out, here are some tips to help you find the pubs and cafés that will welcome your dog with open arms (and maybe even a free drink).

There are plenty of places in London where you can take your dog, but some of them aren’t quite as welcoming as others. If you’re looking for somewhere that will let you bring your pooch along with you, here are some of the best pubs and cafés to visit in London with your dog.

The Cowpat, Brixton This pub is one of the only places in London where you can take your dog inside. It’s a great place to go for a drink with your pooch because they have an entire menu dedicated to dogs (including one called ‘the Dopey’). The Cowpat also has plenty of space outside for you and your furry friend to relax over a drink.

This pub is a real gem in the heart of Brixton. It’s a great place for you to relax with your four-legged friend over a pint or two (or three). The staff here are very welcoming and will make sure that both you and your pooch have a great time while you’re there.

London has something for everyone, even if you’ve got a big four-legged friend.

London has something for everyone, even if you’ve got a big four-legged friend. From hotels that allow pets to the best parks for them to run around in and all of the dog-friendly shops and activities, there is no shortage of things to do in London with your pooch.

Here are some of our favorite dog-friendly locations:

  • Hotels: If you’re staying in one of London’s many hotels, make sure they accept dogs before booking your room! There are many options throughout Central London (and beyond), including Claridge’s Hotel where dogs can stay for £75 per night and The Savoy where they can stay for £150 per night (both prices include breakfast). Staying on the same side as The Savoy? Why not check out Embassy Court Hotel which offers up rooms starting at just £250 a night—they also have plenty of space for larger breeds!

There are also several hotels in London that allow dogs to stay for free, including the May Fair Hotel and The Hyde Park Hotel. If you’re looking for something a little more affordable than Claridge’s or The Savoy, we recommend checking out one of these hotels for your next visit!

The Parks: There are many dog-friendly parks throughout London and we highly recommend visiting at least one of them during your stay. One of the most popular for tourists is Hyde Park which is located in Central London and has plenty of space for humans and their furry friends to play. You can even rent a boat on the Serpentine Lake which is great if you want to explore but don’t want to walk!

London is a city that’s full of life and character, and with so many dog-friendly places to visit, you’ll never be stuck for ideas. Whether you’re on a budget or want to splurge on a luxury hotel stay, there are plenty of dog-friendly hotels in London to choose from. Train stations tend to have more room than buses when it comes to carrying your pooch around town – but if you’re planning an overnight trip with your furry friend then remember that not all trains allow pets on board!
