A very muddy dog bounding through Hampstead Heath

Jump in muddy. Jump out clean.

Four steps. Warm water. Clean dog. Organic shampoo included. You've got this.

01

Rock up muddy

Arrive straight from the park. The muddier the better — we've seen things that would make a vet weep. No appointment needed, no membership required.

Tip: bring a lead. Enthusiastic dogs and open wash bays are a combination.

02

Tap to pay

Hold your card, phone, or watch to the reader. £8 for small dogs, £10 for medium, £12 for large. The bay unlocks, the warm water starts, and you're in business.

Tip: contactless only. We don't do cash — this is the 21st century.

03

Wash your dog

Warm water, organic shampoo and conditioner provided. Use the handheld shower head to work from paws up. You get a 10-minute bay, with a top-up available if you need more time.

Tip: start with the paws. They're the worst bit and you know it.

04

Dry & go

A warm dryer is included. Give them a good blast, clip the lead back on, and walk home with a dog that won't ruin the sofa. Job done.

Tip: they will shake. Stand back.

What's included

Everything except the dog.

Questions we've been asked

Fair enough.

What size dogs can use the wash?

All sizes. Small rate (£8) covers terriers, dachshunds and small pups. Medium (£10) covers spaniels, Labradors and collies. Large (£12) covers shepherds, goldens and anyone who's ever knocked over a child at the park.

Do I need to book in advance?

No booking, no app, no membership. Just turn up. You get a 10-minute bay, with a top-up available if your dog needs longer.

What if my dog hates water?

Moral support is free. The wash still costs from £8. Most dogs come round once the warm water starts — it's considerably nicer than a cold garden hose.

Is the shampoo safe for all dogs?

Yes — we use organic, pH-balanced shampoo and conditioner. If your dog has a specific skin condition, bring your own and use the station's water and dryer.

How much does it cost to run?

About 60p a wash — covered by roughly one wash a day. The rest is yours (or your park's).
