Dog Walks in: Greater London

Greater London Adventures: Parkland Paws, Riverside Rambles, and Heathland Hikes for Your City Canine!

Explore the surprisingly green heart of London with your four-legged friend, a city brimming with iconic Royal Parks,vast commons, historic heathlands, and tranquil riverside paths. From majestic strolls through Hyde Park or Regent's Park to wilder adventures on Hampstead Heath and scenic journeys along the Thames Path, London offers a fantastic and diverse range of walking experiences for every urban dog and owner.

Discover the famous landscapes of the Royal Parks, whether it's the deer-dotted expanses of Richmond Park (always keep dogs under control and on leads where signed, especially during rutting and birthing seasons), the serene lakes of St James's Park, or the panoramic views from Greenwich Park. Venture onto the sprawling commons like Wimbledon Common or Clapham Common for an energetic romp, or explore the enchanting woodlands and meadows of Hampstead Heath, offering some of the best views over the city.

London's waterways provide wonderful walking opportunities, with miles of towpath along the Regent's Canal and Grand Union Canal, offering a unique perspective on the capital. The Thames Path provides varied stretches, from bustling embankments to quieter, greener sections. For a true escape, delve into the ancient woodlands of Epping Forest (on the London fringe) or explore other large green spaces like Victoria Park in the East End or Trent Park in North London. Remember to always be a considerate city dog owner, keeping your dog on a lead where required, especially near roads, in formal gardens, and around wildlife.
