Oodles of poodles at the Victoria Park Dog Show 2019 [photoessay]

Frederick O'Brien

The Victoria Park Dog Show is the place to be seen in East London, if you’re a dog. Every year pampered pooches rub shoulders with no-nonsense bulldog types, and it all winds up being rather pleasant.

We strolled up this year with honorary Roman Road LDN mascot Rita the dachshund to experience Vicky Park at its doggiest. Plenty of old friends were there – Cheeky Cockney Chris Kimberly and his Shih Tzu Skye and Ryan Hodge of Woof Portraits among them.

All basked in the late summer sun and good vibes of the day. This photo gallery by Tabitha Stapely captures the event in full swing.
