Walking dogs in IG1, honestly.

Written dog walker to dog walker. This is the ground truth the apps and lead sites have never stood in — at six in the morning, in the rain.

The doors. Mostly pre-war terraces with flats carved over them around Loxford: small yards at best, no real gardens, and a lot of dogs home alone from half eight. Yards keep a dog dry, not exercised — terrace owners buy the full walk because there is no garden to lie to themselves with. Stay-put streets, on the evidence — 400 completions in a whole recorded year — and a walker's Tuesday here can look the same for a decade, which is the good kind of same.

The parking. Permit zones blanket IG1 — a walking round survives on foot once the van is legally parked, because moving it mid-pack is misery. Zone hours are homework: learn when each street goes free, and slide the tightest pickups to the edges of the day. Dense streets make the green-space run part of the craft: pickups on foot, then the van to wherever the real space is, and back for doorstep drop-offs.

The round. The round in IG1 works around Cranbrook, Loxford and Ilford. Around 21,346 households live here, and the ones who take a dog walker keep them — five days a week, term time and holidays, years on end. That's not a lead list — that's a round, built once and kept.
