Best dog walks in Battersea

Here are the walks dogs in Battersea love most, from big open spaces to quiet corners. Every Seekies walk is on lead, your dogs only.

Battersea Park

SW11 · big, lake and riverside · best for a long walk

Two hundred acres on the Thames with a boating lake, the Peace Pagoda and wide paths. There is room for a full hour without retracing your steps.

From Battersea Power Station along the river towards Battersea Bridge, flat and easy, with plenty to sniff and watch.

Up from Lavender Hill and the Northcote Road side, a huge open Common with ponds and plenty of other dogs.

Wandsworth Common

SW18 and SW11 · ponds and woods · best for variety

West of Northcote Road, with ponds, woodland paths and open grass, quieter than Clapham on most mornings.

Falcon Park

SW11 · small green · best for a 20-minute walk

A small local park off Falcon Road, handy for a short walk near Clapham Junction.

Before you go

• Follow the signs in Battersea Park: play areas and some gardens are dog-free or lead-only.
• The riverside paths are shared with bikes and runners, so keep a short lead.
• Pick up after your dog and take water on warm days.
