London dog park rules

  • Most Royal Parks restrict dogs in certain fenced garden areas - check signage on arrival.
  • Richmond Park requires dogs to be on leads near Isabella Plantation and during deer rutting season.
  • Many London parks enforce “dogs under close control” rather than explicit lead rules - meaning recall must be reliable.
