# Dog-Friendly Restaurants in London Last checked 30 August 2026. Twenty checked restaurants across five London areas. Every listing links to a current first-party dog policy. Check it again before travelling because rules, prices and outdoor seating can change. ## Angel and Islington Four useful tables around Upper Street and Canonbury, from a £12.50 lunch to a leafy pub garden. ### Franco Manca Islington **Budget pick. £12.50 lunch deal.** **Best for:** A low-cost pizza lunch close to Upper Street **The dog rule:** Dogs are welcome in designated areas, on a lead and off the furniture.
