I’m not from London but DS lived near Epping Forest for a bit and I always thought it would be a lovely place to walk the dog if I ever needed to bring him.

i mean we dont have to take the dog!
just means i will leave her at home with dh
Hampstead Heath might be a nice change though?

It's not clear what you're asking, if you don't need to take the dog to London. Hamsptead is lovely.

Abney Cemetery is a lovely walk

Do you want to see anything in particular? Agree with previous poster, Abney Park Cemetery (and Nunhead Cemetery) are really lovely calm places to have a wander and both allow off-lead dogs in parts; but I’m not sure I’d specifically travel to London just to walk a dog there!

Hampstead Heath is fine, I don’t think it’s particularly interesting in itself as somewhere to walk - Hampstead Village can be nice to potter around.

St James Park or Green Park?

Both walkable from Victoria.
