Off-lead rules
Off-lead rules unverified
We could not find an official source stating the off-lead position here, so we are not stating one. Public Spaces Protection Orders are enforceable and carry fixed penalties — check the borough council’s current order before letting your dog off the lead.

Notes
BLOCKER: Lambeth publishes no per-park dog rules and its parks byelaws PDF has no extractable text layer, so off-lead status is unverified despite this being one of London's best-known dog commons. Three cafes, toilets, three ponds, two playgrounds. Coordinate from Wikipedia infobox.
