Versatile, loving, companionable: dogs, more than any other animal, are enmeshed in human history. For centuries, maybe millennia, they have lived beside and with us. Renowned for their faithfulness, their energy, their skills in guarding and guiding, in detecting everything from contraband to oncoming epileptic seizures or the presence of cancers, dogs are a life enhancing presence across the city both as pets and workers. Some are immortalised in stone, feature on memorials, even have their own cemetery.
Descended from wolves, they come in all shapes and sizes. Pedigree dogs, mongrels, breathtakingly athletic dogs, dogs who guard, dogs who love to run and chase and play, dogs who want to make friends. Loyal to a fault, they are not always served so well by humans.
This tour includes dogs of all sorts. So walk your own dog if you have one, then pull up a chair, and enjoy.
Tickets for our walks are restricted in numbers, so that we can be more sociable and better discuss what we have seen and learned.
This tour will be using Zoom. After you book your tour we will send you a Zoom invitation and password. NB. You will need to have downloaded the Zoom app to take part in this virtual tour.

Fascinating details about places I know and those I don’t in London. Has given me lots to look for and notice when I’m out and about, even on familiar routes.

Informative and fun. Something different to look out for when strolling around LONDON
