City of London Corporation: dog rules

Council-wide dog rules, beaches and named places

We've only partly added this council's dog rules. Check the source for the full order.

Partly added

In the Square Mile, follow signs in gardens and churchyards and pick up.
The City also runs Epping Forest and Hampstead Heath. In Epping Forest, use a lead if your dog won't come back when called, and follow seasonal lead signs. Take the mess home.

Assistance dogs: most council dog orders and beach bans exempt assistance dogs, such as guide and hearing dogs. Check the source if you are unsure.
