3 days in London with the dog
3 days For dog owners Built from visitor-rated places
Three days, six stops, one very happy dog. You start big at Windsor Castle, then stroll just 0.6 miles to the Museum of Antiquities — short enough that the lead barely comes off. Day two swaps city for Surrey, with 24.6 miles to Reigate Castle and a gentle 3.8 miles on to Betchworth Castle. Day three softens further: 17.9 miles to the National Trust's Emmetts Garden, then 4.5 miles to Hever Castle. Every stop on this route welcomes dogs.
The stays are dog-friendly too. Travelodge Wembley High Road sits 0 miles from Wembley Central station, with Hampstead Heath (Mixed Pond) 5.6 miles away and rated Excellent for bathing water by the Environment Agency. Travelodge London Stratford is 0.3 miles from Stratford station, while Woollett Hall Farm in Sidcup offers pet-friendly camping 0.6 miles from Bexley station. Arriving by train? London Charing Cross is your nearest station.

Day 1
A slow, city-smart start: Windsor Castle in the morning, then only 0.6 miles to the Museum of Antiquities, an easy lead-on walk rather than a drive. Both welcome dogs, so pack a collapsible bowl and top up water between the two.
Day 2
It's 24.6 miles from yesterday's finish to Reigate Castle, so set off after breakfast and let the dog stretch properly on arrival. Betchworth Castle is a short 3.8 miles on — dogs welcome at both, leads handy and water in the boot.
Day 3
Emmetts Garden is 17.9 miles away, a National Trust garden and arboretum made for a long, unhurried morning walk with the dog on a lead. Hever Castle follows 4.5 miles down the road — dog-friendly again, so finish the trip with one last amble and a full water bowl.
