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.

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.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
