Paws for a while in South London

Head south of the river for these fabulous dog friendly restaurants.

We are prepared to travel anywhere in London if we hear about a great dog friendly place but we hear some humans are scared to cross the Thames! Maybe they think they have to swim...who knows?

We live south of the river and can confirm to our friends in the North that there is nothing to be scared of. In fact, quite the opposite. There is an abundance of dog friendly places here.

So next time you hear someone say "nah mate we don't go south of the river" wag your tail and tell them they need to take you to SW16 Bar & Kitchen and The Exhibit.

Hidden in plain sight on Streatham High Road, SW16 Bar & Kitchen is a welcome oasis from the hustle and bustle, offering fantastic food and cocktails all day, every day.

Two legged foodies can choose breakfast, lunch or dinner from an Italian inspired menu. Start with Beetroot Hummus followed by Summer Tortellini with ricotta and peas or Orecciette in a rich san marzano tomato sauce. There are many options for vegetarians here.

Humans can also work from here and can get a sandwich with bottomless tea or coffee for only £10 per day.

Four legged foodies can stretch out next to the tables as the restaurant is very spacious and cool. The friendly staff will bring you water and lots of attention.

Where: 5 Streatham High Rd, London SW16 1EF

The Exhibit is a vibrant restaurant and bar in Balham. Spread over two floors, the restaurant is light and spacious with plenty of covered outdoor space too! The location is great if you have a chauffeur as it is next to Sainsbury's car park where you can park free for 2 hours.

Four Legged Foodies are welcome everywhere and will be greeted with fresh water and treats. The humans were also offered extra bacon so they could share with us, just make sure you get it as we know what these greedy humans are like.

Two legged foodies can enjoy all day brunching and dinner or just cocktails late into the night. Our humans tried the beef brisket benedict and a blueberry tart. They were very quiet whilst eating so that means it was GOOD.

If your humans are like our, they will love the weekend bottomless brunch which is only £29.50!!

The Exhibit has a great private hire space which is perfect for doggie parties and they even have a dog friendly cinema! Check out our event there on September 4th.

Where: 12 Balham Station Rd, London SW12 9SG
