Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.
Greater London · England · London neighbourhood
Greenwich combines a riverside arrival stroll with a park outing on the following day. The climb towards the viewpoint is optional: a shorter lower-park walk can be enough after travelling. Stay at the Admiral Hardy near College Approach or Novotel on Greenwich High Road, and arrange the pet room before paying. The Observatory photograph illustrates the area, not permission for your dog to enter its garden or buildings.

A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK
Dog access can depend on the room or accommodation you choose. Confirm the exact dog arrangements before you pay.
Admiral Hardy allocates rooms for up to two dogs and publishes a £10 nightly charge, with the charging unit to confirm. Novotel London Greenwich confirms pet-friendly accommodation but its current operator page does not establish a reliable pet fee. Ask each hotel for the exact room, full charge and a workable breakfast arrangement.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER
Choose a short out-and-back section of the Thames Path near Greenwich. Enjoy the river and historic exterior views, leaving enough energy for the journey back to the hotel.
Keep dogs close near water and other path users. Follow any diversions; river access does not imply pet admission to nearby indoor attractions.
Official visitor informationUse permitted paths for a second-day outing, adding the hill only if it suits your dog. The viewpoint can be a goal, but the lower park provides a shorter alternative.
No dogs in Flower Garden, Wilderness Deer Paddock or Royal Observatory Garden. Leads in the Rose Garden; keep control elsewhere and follow current signs.
Official visitor informationAN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
Settle into the confirmed pet room, then take a short riverside stroll. Agree breakfast and dinner seating before the evening rather than assuming the pub or hotel restaurant shares the bedroom policy.
Choose the lower park or a longer uphill outing according to fitness and weather. Keep clear of the dog-free gardens and return before the walk becomes a struggle.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.

Admiral Hardy’s nightly unit needs confirmation and Novotel’s current fee is not established here. Ask for a written total.
No. The Royal Parks excludes dogs from the Flower Garden, Wilderness Deer Park and Royal Observatory Garden, and requires a lead in the Rose Garden. Dogs are generally welcome elsewhere in the park under control; check signs for additional local restrictions.

No. The guide’s outings can be made on foot from a Greenwich base; it does not depend on a boat ticket. If you choose the river service, dogs are generally allowed under the operator’s lead/control and crew-direction rules.
