...and maybe a stop-off at a dog-friendly pub in the area on the way home.

Hello everyone,

Well the weather forecast for the week ahead is glorious, save for maybe a thunderstorm on Thursday. Unfortunately I have not yet seen a weather forecast for Sunday 23rd August but hoping it will be pleasant at least and if not our Kennington expert, Robert, can suggest a nice dog-friendly pub for us to take shelter.

Kennington Park is a pleasant park within easy walking distance of at least two tube stations, Kennington and Oval although its a small park certainly not on the same scale as larger parks such as Hyde Park

I would suggest, if you can, using Kennington tube station as it has a lift, more friendlier for the dogs than Oval's long escalator. From Kennington tube station turn left and walk along Kennington Park Road and we will meet just inside the first park entrance that you come to.

A little more about the park itself:-

With a long and fascinating history, Kennington Park contains areas managed for their heritage value as well as ones with a more modern layout. The park contains many mature and historic trees, as well as open areas and spaces for wildlife and biodiversity. The park contains a popular café, an 'old English' flower and herb garden, rose beds and a new 'Green Link' which now connects the older Victorian park to the newer extension. Café, dog exercise area, flower gardens and loos are all on site.
