What this guide currently covers

Discovery market: Greater London discovery market

Policy jurisdictions: Greater London borough policy envelope

Jurisdiction policy research is partial. Rules can vary between authorities, so one council's guidance must not be assumed to apply across the whole market.

You must pick up your dog's mess in public spaces. London boroughs set and enforce their own lead, exclusion and fouling provisions, so check local signage and the relevant borough order.
