14 posh London watering holes that welcome dogs

Whether you’re just visiting or planning to make a permanent move to the big city, you and Fido will want to find the greatest dog-friendly hikes and watering sites. Countryside hikes in Kent and Windsor are surprisingly accessible, in addition to the many beautiful walks in London’s parks and suburban boroughs like Richmond.

There aren’t many dogs living in the downtown area, but you can still find plenty of dog-friendly businesses. So, which London watering holes welcome dogs the most?

The Waggons and Horses

Did you know that the Coach and Horses, one of London’s busiest watering holes, is also dog-friendly? Since 1734, this structure has served as a coaching inn, and today, it retains virtually all of its original grade II listed status. You and Fido will enjoy the stress-free environment here.

The fact that it was London’s first vegan pub made it a great choice for vegetarian tourists. The kitchen is currently undergoing renovations, so dishes and offerings may change.

Greek Street and W1D 5DH is the location.

Hours of Operation: 12:00 a.m. – 12:00 a.m., Daily

The Goat Is Grazing

The Grazing Goat is a tavern and hotel that is well-known for its delicious meals and welcoming atmosphere. It doesn’t matter if you call it a pub, a hotel or a cafe; it’s the best place to hang out in Marylebone, and it welcomes dogs.

It’s only a few minutes’ stroll to Hyde Park, where you and Fido can work off some of that dinner’s calories with a stroll.

Marylebone, England, W1H 7RQ, address: 6 New Quebec Street

Hours of Operation are 24 hours a day, 07:30-22:00

In the Punch Bar

This Fleet Street location has been home to a watering hole for quite some time, but it wasn’t until the 19th century that it was officially recognised as The Punch Tavern to honour the patrons that frequented it from the adjacent Punch company.

Once a one establishment that included both the Crown and Sugarloaf bars, the two establishments went their own ways in the 1990s. (Before becoming Punch, this establishment was known as the Crown and Sugarloaf.) Small but mighty, you and Fido are welcome to attend this historic London watering hole.

Postal Code: EC4Y 1DE Address: 99 Fleet Street

Monday through Friday, noon to midnight

The Stand-in

The Understudy, playing at the National Theatre, is actually rather fur-iendly, which may come as a surprise to some. You definitely won’t want to miss it because to its fantastic riverbank setting, lively atmosphere, and extensive menu of drinks and small plates. (After the shows are over, it’s possible that some of the actors will stick around.)

There is plenty of outdoor seating (and blankets) plus extras like a river stage, pop-up bars, and a pizza van that are only available during certain times of the year. It’s no surprise that this watering hole is a local favourite.

Bishop’s, Upper Ground, SE1 9PX

Opening hours vary; visit their website for details.

The Fleeceback

The Woolpack may be found in the shadow of the Shard, just a short distance from London Bridge station. It’s a London bar that takes pride in welcoming four-legged friends, whether you’re looking to curl up in a booth or have your meal outside in the covered, warm beer garden.

Don’t feel bad about treating Fido to some of the delicious seasonal fare; they provide free goodies and their own bar for canine companions. (For the service of water, of course!)

London Bridge, SE1 3UB Address: 98 Bermondsey Street

Hours of Operation: 12:00 a.m. – 12:00 a.m.,

Lamb and Banner

The Lamb and Flag, London’s oldest tavern, earned the nickname “bucket of blood” due to the frequent bare-knuckle fights that took place there in the 19th century. You and your dog are welcome to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere indoors or outside on the cobblestones of this London landmark.

It can get fairly busy before shows and after the theatres close, as does most of central London.

Covent Garden, 33 Rose Street, WC2E 9EB

Hours of Operation: 12:00 a.m. – 21:30 p.m.

False eagle

The Spread Eagle seems like a traditional Victorian-era tavern from the exterior, but the trendy clientele and cutting-edge decor inside give it a completely different vibe. It’s in a great location, close to Regent’s Park for some fresh air.

Furry guests can snack on biscuits, and humans can wrap up in blankets outside. This London bar welcomes dogs and has a strong sense of community despite its proximity to tourist attractions like Camden Market and the zoo.

141 Albert Street, Camden Town, London, NW1 7NB is the location.

Hours of Operation: 12:00 a.m. – 21:30 p.m.

Dual Leadership

The Two Chairmen is conveniently located near St. James Park, in a quiet cul-de-sac, making it an excellent choice for a pint after a day of exercise.

Greene King owns it, so you can count on the usual pub meals and beers, but in a stunningly restored historic structure in a fantastic area. ((It’s rumoured to be) Westminster’s oldest watering hole.)

39 Dartmouth Street, Westminster, United Kingdom SW1H 9BP

Hours: Monday through Friday, 12:00 am to 22:00 pm; Saturday and Sunday, 12:00 am to 18:00 pm

The Narrow Boat

When looking for a dog-friendly pub in London, look no further than the Narrowboat. They have regular puppy brunches to raise money for city rescue organisations and treat all canine visitors like old friends who deserve lots of affection.

It’s the only watering hole in Islington, so you and Fido can take a stroll down the canal and then relax with a drink on the terrace.

Postal Code and Address: 119 St. Peter’s Street, N1 8PZ Islington

Hours of Operation: 11:00 a.m. to 22:00 p.m., Daily

The Participant

The Volunteer is a convenient rest break for you and your dog if you happen to be in the Baker Street area.

This relaxed bar is convenient for those who have just finished a walk in nearby Regent’s Park or gotten off the train in Marylebone and want to relax with their dog. Just be on the lookout for Rupert, the pub’s resident ghost.

24-47 Baker Street, Marylebone, London, England, NW1 6XE

Hours of Operation: 12:00 a.m. – 12:00 a.m.,

The Lamplighter

Visit The Lighterman after a stroll along the canal or after getting off the train at King’s Cross. This London watering hole, which welcomes four-legged friends, has become a favourite hangout because to its delicious food and sleek, contemporary decor.

Dogs are accepted in the downstairs area, but they are not permitted in the dining room or on the rooftop patio. Fortunately, the downstairs bar and lounge has an equally delicious meal and drink selection, so neither of you need go hungry.

Postal Code: N1C 4BH 3 Granary Square, Kings Cross

Weekend hours are 10:00-22:00 and weekday hours are 12:00-22:00.

AKA: The Duke of Cambridge

The Duke of Cambridge is one of many dog-friendly bars in Battersea, but it distinguishes out for its very warm welcome of four-legged customers. Dogs are welcome to join their owners for lunch, and the kind staff is always ready to coo over them and give them treats after a stroll through nearby Battersea Park.

It’s a great spot to relax with a cup of freshly ground coffee or a pint of beer because of the antique vibe and the spacious interior.

Battersea Bridge Road, No. 228 SW11 3AA.

Hours of Operation: 10:00-22:00 (Mon-Sat) and 11:00-22:00 (Sun)

King’s Arms Inn

The Kings Arms, located discreetly behind Waterloo, has the atmosphere of a genuine English pub rather than a metropolitan watering hole. Another great dog-friendly bar in London, with free snacks and water for the dogs and even staff photos of the regulars with their pooches posted online.

The atmosphere is reminiscent of a classic pub, but the food is modern with a Thai flair and definitely worth trying.

Postal Code: SE1 8TB 25 Roupell Street Bishop’s

The store is open daily from 12:00 to 23:00.

In the Royal Pantry

Queen Charlotte acquired a space beneath the tavern to keep food for her sick husband, King George III, hence the moniker “The Queen’s Larder.” In keeping with custom, they plan to continue serving their canine friends delicious home meals.

They have water for the dogs, as well as a great selection of beer and hearty fare for the humans. It’s a top-notch dog-friendly watering hole in the city of London.

Postal Code: WC1N 3AR Address: 1 Queen Square, Holborn

We are open Monday through Friday from 11:30 to 23:00, Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 to 22:30.
