Afternoon dog walkers in Maida Vale W9
Paddington Rec and the canal at Little Venice are lovely to live beside, and your dog will know every inch of them. So we give them a change of scene up on Hampstead Heath, where Ashley picks between the dense West Heath and the open Hampstead Heath Extension depending on your dog.

Doggy daycare in Maida Vale
Real ground: streams to cross, bracken to push through, pheasants coming up underfoot. The footing holds in winter, so nobody comes home plastered in mud.
