Dog Friendly East Dulwich - what is/isn't


Recommended Posts

It's quite possible that nobody cares about this except for me, but as a dog owner I'd find it really useful to know where is and isn't dog friendly in East Dulwich and Peckham Rye. I went past the snazzy new Cafe G on my dog walk today in the hope of a hot takeaway coffee, but was turned away due to my furry companion. It's one of many walks of shame that I've had to do out of cafes and pubs as a result of not knowing what the rules are.


The definite dog friendies that I know of are: Aneto's, Boulangerie Jade, Viva, Petit Pou and Bluebrick.


Places that need clarification: Blackbird, Clockhouse, Andersons. (Blackbird is the most indecisive - I've been there numerous times with my dog without trouble but on 2 recent occasions have been asked to leave).


Please share your knowledge, dog owners of ED! Winter is rolling in - takeaway coffees are soon to become of utmost importance :D

I was in a very upmarket restaurant in Lille (admittedly quite a while ago) and was very surprised when a posh lady lunching next to me got up and out popped a little pooch from her lap. It had been there the entire meal! It seemed entirely ok with everyone there.

They are everywhere in France, even seen them sitting on chairs in restaurants.


It's not illegal here, it is down to the management.

Do you not visit your friends who have dogs in that case? Dogs that go into cafes and restaurants/pubs don't tend to go into the food prep area.

Most pubs around ED are totally fine with dogs - the only ones I know of that don't allow dogs are the EDT and Palmerston

Quite a lot of shops are dog-friendly too... although often depends on the size of the shop and dog!

Unless they have recently changed their policy..

..The EDT does allow dogs.

Great thread :)! Very helpful to know where is and isn't dog friendly locally! I would've guessed Cafe G would be OK with selling you a take away coffee, especially being right on the park (some places will very kindly come and serve you at the door if dogs aren't allowed inside!).


To confirm comments above, Yup, France is very very dog friendly :) and so is the uk countryside I've found. ED is very dog friendly as well though :) I've been welcomed with my small dog in many shops and pubs locally. Guessing shops depend on the size of the dog though! Here's ones I can confirm from my experience other than those already mentioned:



Dog Friendly:


Clockhouse (they have dog treats and water bowls inside :) !)

The Plough

Chandelier (in the back area)

The Victoria Inn

Prettys

Oddono's (dogs not OK inside but they'll serve you takeaway at the door ;) !)

The Patch

The Great Exhibition

Rye Books

ED

Mrs Robinson

Tomlinsons

Antique place open on weekends off of Northcross Rd



Not Dog Friendly:


Duck Egg Cafe (dogs only OK outside, although once when I'd already ordered and it started raining they let me sit at the front counter on the stools :) !)

Blackbird (at the one in Herne Hill dogs are only OK outside)

Londis (not allowed inside though they did watch/hold my dog for me when I ran in once :) !)

Supermarkets


FYI, new dog owners, dogs are allowed on public transport no problem :) - buses (although if there's already a dog on the bus they sometimes say no), underground, trains. . .

This may well be to avoid the inevitable dog running off with string of sausages scenario.

    • I am at The Gardens. I saw GP on a Wednesday and he recommended physio, he checked availability and offered Tessa Jowell Centre for Saturday at 1 pm or Forest Hill Road Practice on a Monday at 11 am. I chose FH- very efficient/ Physio at FH very helpful, sent me some neck exercises and referred me for spinal assessment at Kings.
    • Of course, people's experiences may vary, but I'm afraid I can't recommend the DMC on Crystal Palace Rd.
    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
