The Dog House London
Footy, friends and feels
There are many parts of the Dog House you can find in other pubs around London, but this Kennington boozer pulls them all together and gets it just right. The Dog House is not exceptional, it simply hits the nail on the head across the board time and time again. From the run-down chic aesthetic to the strong beer selection and excellent pub garden, there are no chinks in the Dog House's armour.
This is a well-known spot among south London residents as a premium place to watch live football -- on big game days the garden will be rammed with jersey wearers making use of the well-placed big screens.
With a strong food offering, the Dog House has ample seating on a hot summer's day, with rows of benches lining the street in addition to the main pub garden. In winter this spot doubles up as a cosy corner, with a two-sided bar and its eccentric interior making for a lovely nook to get out of the rain.
