Meeting a mate is complicated enough without a dog doing interpretive dance at the end of the lead. Do you leave them at home, or bring them along and spend the journey wondering whether 'dog-friendly' means 'genuinely welcome' or 'tolerated, grudgingly, in the bit of garden nearest the bins'?

That's the knot FairWhere is built to untie. We judge whole journeys rather than the midpoint, then go hunting for pubs where dogs aren't merely permitted but actively courted — water bowls on the floor, a jar of biscuits behind the bar, a fire to flop in front of.
To make the cut, a pub had to be properly dog-welcoming indoors (not just the garden), good enough that the humans want to stay too, easy to reach from a station, and near a park, heath, common or river. We've spread them across North, East, South, West and Central London, and checked every one is still pulling pints in 2026.
Here they keep the biscuits at nose height and nobody blinks when I claim the best seat by the fire. Ten out of ten. Would drool again.

Gastropub
Kew
Parked on picturesque Kew Green a short trot from the Gardens' gates, the Greyhound is a polished little gastropub that takes its Sunday roast very seriously, towering Yorkshires, proper gravy, the works. It's a natural post-Kew rendezvous: wear the dog out along the green, then regroup for lunch. Aptly named for a hound, too. Useful pairing: dogs aren't allowed inside Kew Gardens, but the Green and this pub make a fine, decidedly waggier plan B for the non-botanical members of the party.
