Dog control in Greenwich

Dog-control orders (PSPOs) are set per site and are legally binding, so we only state what we have read for the specific parks below — never a borough-wide claim. Everything here is cited to the managing authority.

For 1 of 3 of these walks we have not been able to confirm off-lead status from an official source, so we leave it marked unverified rather than guess. An inferred restriction is worse than an honest gap.

• Greenwich Park hill and Blackheath Gate loopOff-lead allowed

  The Royal Parks

  Generally, dogs do not need to be kept on a lead in Greenwich Park but it is the owner's responsibility to keep the dog under control.

  Source: The Royal Parks — “Greenwich Park - Areas where dogs are not permitted: Flower Garden; The Wilderness Deer Park; The Royal Observatory Garden. Areas where dogs need to be kept on leads: The Rose Garden.”

• Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park (assistance dogs only)On-lead required

  The Conservation Volunteers

  Dogs other than guide and disability dogs are not allowed anywhere on site.
