1. Peckham Rye Park and Common: This green oasis is a haven for both humans and their four-legged friends reaching from East Dulwich up to central Peckham. Well behaved dogs can go off lead on the common area, and there are plenty of paths for picturesque walks. With ponds, woodlands, and even a cafe, it's a fantastic place to spend quality time with your pup.
