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.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
