National Dog Day in Marylebone: two of the area’s dog-friendly favourites, The Italian Greyhound and Boxcar Hyde Park, are marking the occasion throughout August with free natural treats for dogs, courtesy of Forthglade.
At Boxcar, tucked into a bright corner of Connaught Village near Hyde Park, dogs are welcome throughout the space with plenty of room to settle in before or after a walk in the park. The kitchen is known for its signature laminated croissants, available classic or filled with matcha cream, alongside a rotating seasonal pastry selection currently featuring a pistachio and fig leaf custard Danish.
A short walk away, The Italian Greyhound is a Marylebone neighbourhood restaurant with a gorgeous terrace, serving delicious Italian dishes with British touches across lunch, aperitivo and evening sittings. We visited the Italian Greyhound earlier this month, and were blown away by the food and absolutely loved the venue, which is modern and spacious. See our reel from our visit here.
During August, dogs visiting either venue will be treated to natural Forthglade treats to enjoy on the day and take home.

Chiswick Cinema Dog-friendly Policy
For the special dog-friendly screenings, signposted on the website and in person, guests are welcome to bring their dogs with them into the screen (one dog per adult, dogs go free).
- We recognize that these screenings should not affect the broader use and the enjoyment of other customers and as such we have outlined these policies.
- Should a dog adversely affect the enjoyment of others, our staff team will step in, if necessary, request that the owner and the dog leave the premises. This is in line with the other Terms and Conditions of the cinema.
- All other Terms and Conditions and Terms of Admission apply as usual.
- To ensure that customers who may not wish to watch a film when dogs are present are fully aware of which screening they are booking, all Dog-friendly Screenings will be clearly advertised as such.
- All seats that are used by dogs in the screen will be covered with a blanket by the cinema, and the blankets will be laundered between screenings separate from other cinema materials.
- The screen will be fully cleaned after a dog screening, with all seats thoroughly cleaned!
- During the screenings, the cinema will provide bowls of water for the dogs, used only for this purpose. Beyond small treats or snacks purchased at the cinema, dogs cannot be fed in the screen.
- In the incredibly unlikely event a dog fouls inside the premises, the procedure for ‘cleaning up bodily fluids’ is to be implemented; the owner can be encouraged to assist.
Book your Dog-friendly Chiswick Cinema Ticket on the Chiswick Cinema website (selecting the showing marked as dog-friendly).

Saltdean Lido will be the spot to enjoy a fun-filled day with your four-legged friends on the last three weekends of September and the first weekend of October. Whether you want to swim in the main pool or just dip toes or paws into the smaller paddling pool, there are plenty of options for dogs of all sizes and swimming abilities! And don’t forget—tickets sell out quickly, so make sure and tell your humans how much you love swimming so they can book your spot!
Note: you will only be able to book a dog swim ticket after selecting a human ticket (human swim or spectator)
Dog Swim Rules:
- For the dog swim ticket, your dog has access to both the main pool and for those less adventurous, the paddling pool (with slide and water spouts)
- You must book a Human ticket (either swimmer or spectator) before the system will allow you to book a Dog ticket
- If you want to swim with your dog you’ll need a human swim ticket, or if you prefer to stand at the poolside and throw a toy, a spectator ticket is fine
- For H&S reasons, under-16s aren’t allowed in the pool. This applies to Humans only!
- Under-16 Humans are welcome with a spectator ticket and can play with you from the poolside
- There is an absolute Zero Tolerance policy towards aggression, so if either you or your Human growl or snarl, you’ll both be asked to leave
- It goes without saying that humans need to pick up after their pups
- You can bring balls or toys as there’s lots of grass to run around on, and there will be a security gate in place to keep everything secure
Saltdean Lido Dog Swim 2025 Ticket Prices:
Once again this year, tickets are very reasonable – £12.20 for human or dog swim tickets, and £5.30 for spectator tickets, with all funds raised from the Saltdean Lido Dog Swim going to support the upkeep of this beautiful Grade II listed art deco lido.
