London Dog

NAME: Unknown
LOCATION: Maida Vale, London

London has the biggest population of any city in the European Union. But it’s not even in the top 20 for density. The reason? Parks.

The centrepieces of London's park system are the eight Royal Parks of London, covering over 5,000 acres (20 km²) of land. There are also many great local neighbourhood parks, like the one where we snapped this fella, Paddington Rec in Maida Vale.

During daylight hours people spend a lot of time lazing or playing in the parks. And those with dogs take full advantage of them for walks.

Like everything in London, it’s all done in an orderly fashion. Witness these signs in Paddington Rec legislating on dog, park and poo etiquette.




So when next in London with a dog, be sure to check out the parks, but also be sure to form an orderly queue before letting your hound cock his leg. And do tidy up after him…
