A royal run around

The Royal Parks offer a great spot for your and your pup to enjoy the outdoors and have a break from the bustling city. The wide, green expanses and beautiful views are ideal for long walks and playing endless rounds of fetch.

There are eight Royal Parks in total, including Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Richmond Park, Bushy Park, St James's Park, The Green Park, Regent's Park and Greenwich Park. You can also visit Brompton Cemetery, Victoria Tower Gardens and the Grosvenor Square Gardens for natural bliss in the city.

A bit of canine culture

The Kennel Club is the country's largest organisation dedicated to protecting and promoting the health and welfare of all dogs. The Art Gallery is home to the biggest collection of dog paintings in Europe. Exhibitions include Dogs in War, Royal Dogs and British and Irish Vulnerable Breeds.

From Thursday 7 September 2017, Dogs of the Far East will be displayed at the gallery.

Booking is essential before visiting, so please consult The Kennel Club website for more details.

Pamper your pooch

If you fancy treating your mutt to a day of relaxation, grooming and luxury, head to The Pet Spa in Fulham. Expert staff will provide tailored treatments and bespoke services to ensure that your dog is looking and feeling its best.

Opt for a simple Wash and Fluff dry, a brand new hairstyle or a nail trim. You can also choose more extravagant packages, including facials, massages and healing baths.

A dog's dinner

Maggie Jones is a popular Kensington joint that has been serving loyal customers for nearly half a century. In fact, its name comes from Princess Anne, who would regularly book a table under the alias Maggie Jones.

As well as cooking up delicious, traditional British dishes, the friendly staff are happy to accommodate well-behaved hounds.

Designer puppy

For uniquely-designed dog accessories, visit Bow Wow in Covent Garden. The first and only pet shop in the popular shopping area, the store will ensure that your furry friend stays on trend all year round.

They have an exclusive range of beds, leads, clothing and bowls that you can't find anywhere else, so your pup will be the talk of the town. You can even get hold of some nutritional treats and snacks.
