Dog walk and a pint on Hampstead Heath
Open heath for the dog, a verified pub within about ten minutes of the exit — ranked so no human’s Tube ride ruins the afternoon.
Why the Heath for dogs
Hampstead Heath is FairWhere’s flagship Best for Dogs walk — open ground across Hampstead and Highgate, not a canal path where bikes own the middle. The heath is too big for one fixed loop, so this occasion uses named exits and verified pubs nearby.
Pond and playground rules still apply. Golders Hill gates can be seasonal. The planner starts with Dog friendly on and Heath selected so wetland “guide dogs only” walks stay out of the shortlist.
Meet at a pin, not “the Heath”
