Curtain goes up on Kevin O'Hare and Fred

Those Who Nose

London & Beyond

 

Willkommen bei Those Who Nose, einer Mini-Serie von hundefreundlichen Stadtführern, liebevoll zusammengestellt von besonderen Gästen aus aller Welt.

Heute, mitten in der festlichen Jahreszeit, blickt Mungo & Maud nach London und darüber hinaus.  Inspiriert von der klassischen Aufführung des Nussknackers beim Royal Ballet, freuen wir uns, Kevin O'Hare, Direktor des Royal Ballet, und den charmanten 'Fred' einzuladen, ihre Lieblingsadressen in London und darüber hinaus mit uns zu teilen.

London Review Bookshop
14 Bury Place, London WC1A 2JL, UK

Sitting right on our doorstop in Bloomsbury, this independent bookshop is a London institution and a regular lifesaver whenever I need a last-minute gift and am stuck for ideas.  A rich selection of book choices and great staff recommendations, it attracts an interesting mix of crowds.

Time for Fred to check in

Rosewood London
252 High Holborn, London WC1V 7EN, UK

Like most new dog owners, when we first brought Fred home we started searching high and low for dog-friendly places around London to eat and socialise.  The Rosewood Hotel in Holborn has always been super welcoming to dogs and we have spent many evenings at their Holborn Dining Room and enjoying the most excellent cocktails at Scarfes Bar.

Temptations abound...

St John Bakery
16 Bury Place, London WC1A 2JL, UK

Recently opened right next to the London Review Bookshop, this little café is full of temptations from the freshly baked madeleines, sandwiches, pies, tarts – and doughnuts.

A spot of 'Persimmon' outside Paul Smith

Paul Smith
40-44, Floral Street, London WC2E 9TB, UK

I wear a lot of suits and shirts for work and tend to buy most of them from Paul Smith in Covent Garden (who happens to have also just designed a Christmas Tree for us at the Opera House).  I love the colourful yet smart British style of Paul Smith – and Fred loves the attention and belly rubs he always receives from the staff.

Bottoms up!

TOWN Restaurant
26-29 Drury Lane, London WC2B 5RL, UK

A fairly recent opening (Summer 2025), we love this restaurant’s interiors and vibe, the delicious menu, cocktails – and best of all, it’s super dog friendly!  A great place to entertain and celebrate with friends for any occasion.

Fred staving off the chill in his Beetle Coat ~ Hickory

Honey & Co
54 Lamb's Conduit Street, London WC1N 3LW, UK

Staying in our neighbourhood, Honey & Co serves the tastiest Middle Eastern cuisine.  Small yet perfectly formed with the most delicious seasonal menus on offer – they also have a deli shop and bakery across the road when you just need to grab something on your way home.

Fred elegantly reclines...
... before a romp around the hotel.
Fresh air at Soho Farmhouse

Soho Farmhouse
Great Tew, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire OX7 4JS, UK

We love our life working and living in central London – but from time to time, it is nice to get out to the countryside and breathe some fresh air.  The Cotswolds are within an easy reach and perfect for weekends away.  We are regulars at Soho Farmhouse and love the variety of activities and entertainment options.

A grand entrance

Estelle Manor
Eynsham Park, Witney, Oxfordshire OX29 6PN, UK

In the last year, we discovered the new Estelle Manor, which has a slightly more grown up and exclusive feel.  The spa is wonderful for a bit of physical and mental recovery – although understandably, you’ll need to leave your furry friends in the room.

Kevin in first position... ready to take a bow.

Thank you ever so much to Kevin & Fred for sharing their favourite places with us... we may even call for an encore!
