9 Fun Things to do with your dog this Summer

Updated: Oct 27

Inspiration for four legged adventures in and around London




  1. Hire a Boat for a boat for a day on the river with your pals.


Go Boat welcome all four legged friends to join their humans on a cruise on the Thames (from Kingston, Canary Wharf or Thames Ditton) or The Regents Canal (from Paddington).

It's a great way to see the city while you catch up with friends and you can take your own snacks and drinks on board.

You can read more on our GoBoat experience here.


2. Enjoy a delicious afternoon tea.

If your humans book an afternoon tea at The Great Scotland Yard Hotel, you can join them and get your very own selection of tasty goodies from Talula Eats all beautifully presented just like the humans.

This is one of our all-time favourite experiences! You can read all about it here.


3. Go and see a movie

If your pooch is a film buff, they can join you at Bussey Rooftop in Peckham for an outdoor showing at the Rooftop Film Club or if you prefer an indoor option to avoid our unpredictable weather then Picturehouse Cinemas across London hold regular showings

Check out your local Picturehouse IG account for announcements.


4. See the city from above

Pooches are welcome on the IFS Cable Cloud which runs between Greenwich Peninsula and Royal Docks Docklands. Booking is not necessary as it is part of TFL but is advisable if you want

The trip lasts around 10 minutes each and is a really fun way to cross the river and enjoy the great dog friendly places in those areas. Check out our blog on Greenwich here.


5. Take a little train ride

Some trains are just for getting from A to B but this cute little train around Ruislip Lido is purely for fun and dogs can hop on board for free.

The ride lasts around 20 minutes and human tickets cost £3.

Check out what else you can enjoy with your pooch in Ruislip here.


6. Explore a vineyard

Humans love this stuff called wine. We don't get it but it seems to make them happy!

Pooches can accompany them to see where the stuff is made at Quob Park Estates and are welcome throughout the estate, at tastings and in the restaurant.

Denbies Wine Estate also welcome dogs in the grounds but not anywhere inside the buildings.

Just make sure one of your humans stays sober to be responsible for you!


7. See some pretty flowers

Throughout the summer RHS Wisley open up to four legged friends.

Walkies at Wisley are available on various dates until the end of August but must be booked in advance. Tickets for non RHS members are £9.25 and dogs must be kept on leads with a maximum of 2 dogs per person.

Alternatively you can see an equally impressive floral display for free at Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park.


8. Enjoy a scenic sundowner

There's nothing like watching the sun go down with a cocktail in your hand and your pooch by your side. It's even better if you're on a London Rooftop.

Many rooftop bars welcome pooches, our favourites are:



9. Enjoy a dog festival

Woof About shows and markets will be taking place on the following dates:

Every Saturday throughout August - Woof About Islington, Islington Square.

September 14th and 15th - The Big Woof, Coal Drops Yard

October 5th - Woof About Chelsea at Chelsea Dog Day, Duke of York Square.
