Exploring dog friendly Greenwich in South East London
Greenwich is an area of London that really does have something for everyone. There is culture, history, shopping, plenty of green spaces and an abundance of fabulous eateries.
Oh and its' a great place to visit with your dog!
Start of the day the way every day should start - with a good breakfast!
Enderby House is a Young's pub on the riverside and serves brunch Monday to Saturday. Dogs get free treats and can buy a Jude's doggy ice cream.
Like much of the area, the pub is steeped in history and is located in a converted 1830's house which belonged to the firm of Samuel Enderby, the largest whalers and sealers in Britain, and pioneers of Antarctic exploration. Hermann Melville describes their flagship and crew in “Moby Dick”.
The pub is spacious and airy inside and has a river facing terrace outside.
From the pub you can take a lovely riverside stroll for 1 mile into Greenwich centre or in the other direction you will reach the O2 in just 8 minutes.
Another great riverside eatery close by is Riverside Café where you can get breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and great coffee.
Dogs can get treats and ice cream here too while you watch the boats go by on the Thames.
Walk off your brekkie with a stroll in Greenwich Park.
The park has something for everyone. There is plenty of space for picnics, lots of trees providing shade and some fantastic views! From the top, you can see all across London.
Obviously great views come at a price and there is a steep walk to the top of the park but at least there is a step free route.
Second stop on our Greenwich pub crawl is The Cutty Sark pub which has been serving drinks to people for over 200 hundred years!
Inside the pub you will be transported back to that time with the original features, including creaky wooden stairs reminding us of the boat the pub is named after.
Treats and ice cream are available for pooches and the human food is not your average pub grub but more like a menu and quality you'll find in a good restaurant.
There is a terrace opposite the pub for river views.
The pub's namesake is a short stroll away. Dogs aren't allowed on board unfortunately but you can still get some great photos (preferably without a human ruining it).
From here, head into Greenwich centre and immerse yourself in the glory of Greenwich Market.
Here you will find a plethora of independent traders selling everything from street food to gifts, clothes, art....you name it.
Pooches are welcome to stroll around on foot or in their wheels!
