The Standard London

Bold, buzzy and a bit rebellious, The Standard London isn’t your typical dog-friendly stay – and that’s exactly the point. Set in a striking Brutalist building by King’s Cross, it’s all about lively spaces, great food and a social atmosphere.
The best bit? Dogs stay for free, which is a rare win in central London. With nearby canals and green pockets for walks, plus plenty of places to hang out on-site, it’s a fun, fuss-free base for you and your pup.
The Hoxton Shoreditch
Address: 81 Great Eastern Street, London, EC2A 3HU
Right in the heart of Shoreditch, The Hoxton keeps things relaxed, social and very dog-friendly. And this is another hotel where there’s no extra charge for bringing your pup, which already puts it ahead of much of the pack.

The Franklin London – Starhotels Collezione
Address: 24 Egerton Gardens, London, SW3 2DB
