London’s weather forecast is looking rather drab this weekend, making it the perfect occasion to enjoy a pint and some tasty grub in a pub.

But as dog owners very well know, it can be tricky planning a trip to the pub when you have to worry about whether or not your four-legged friend will be welcome.

So to make your weekend planning that little bit easier, News Shopper has rounded up the top five dog-friendly Lewisham pubs.

The Dog and Bell

116 Prince Street, SE8 3JD

Perhaps Deptford’s most welcoming boozer, dogs are more than welcome in this Irish pub, albeit not around the bar.

But no worries, the lounge and eating area is the pub’s cosiest spot and there’s also rows of enormous tables out the front that are heated.

With a scrumptious menu to boot, The Dog and Bell is a must-visit for all Lewisham locals.

The Fat Walrus

44 Lewisham Way, SE14 6NP

Perched right next to Goldsmith’s University, The Fat Walrus is one of New Cross’ best spots to grab a pint and some mouth-watering food.

From popcorn halloumi and mac and cheese to burgers, hot dogs and ice cream - this place has it all.

And of course, your canine companion is more than welcome to watch you fill your boots.
