1 / 8Dog & Fox
Merton, London
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.
An iconic pub with 25 bedrooms in Wimbledon Village, where dogs get a hamper of treats, a bed and a bowl, and a welcome in the pub itself.
The Dog & Fox has been part of Wimbledon Village since the late 1700s, if the local story holds, and keeps 25 bedrooms above an iconic pub. It is a dog friendly inn twice over: dogs go in the bedrooms and into the pub itself.
Two dogs per room is the maximum, and the hamper that lands in the room holds tail-wagging treats, a bed or a blanket and a bowl; if your dog has a taste for muddy puddles, the inn suggests packing a spare blanket for the de-muddying. Dogs wear a lead in the shared areas, the beds and soft furnishings are off limits, and they are never left unattended at any time. The hotel doesn't state which of the bedrooms take dogs, so say one is coming when you book.
After a full day out, you and your dog can retreat to the pub for good food and a drink with them beside you. The kitchen works from British ingredients and changes its menus often, from breakfast and brunch to family dinners and solo suppers, and there are two sunny terraces for when you want to be outside.
Rooms range from the comfortable to the properly fancy: one has a four-poster bed, another a freestanding rolltop bathtub, and one comes with a private terrace, with honesty bars, Nespresso machines and snack baskets throughout. Wimbledon Common is the inn's own suggestion for a big walk with the dog, and Tooting Common Circular, from Wildpack's map, is 3.2 miles away.
