Because finding a *real* pet friendly spot to enjoy with your pooch is harder than it should be, we were so very excited when we heard about Style Tails' Luxury Pet Guide. This is a comprehensive list of pet friendly restaurants, pubs, hotels and cafes personally tried and tested over the years by the folks at Style Tails and their pups. Their little black book is now yours - and you can trust each listing to do exactly what it says on the tin.
We have selected a handful of places in London covering SW, E & NW, for our pet parents in London, but if you are further afield, do check The Guide to find great spots in your area, as it extends across the whole of the UK.
