Best Vets in Greater London

Goddard Veterinary Group Eastcote is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group (a multi-site veterinary group) and is RCVS-accredited. Based on the clinic’s stated facilities and what owners describe, it’s set up for routine care plus in-house diagnostics and surgery (on-site blood testing, X‑rays, and surgical procedures). The practice also acts as a veterinary nurse training facility. Owners frequently mention vet Leonard by name, including examples such as taking time in appointments (one review describes a vet spending around an hour with two cats) and handling nervous pets gently. Reviews also show mixed experiences with service consistency: one long-term client reports incorrect records and unhelpful reception handling, and another describes being directed straight to the 24/7 emergency hospital rather than receiving an on-the-spot assessment for an acute injury.

London Vet Specialists operates as part of Linnaeus Veterinary Limited (a corporate veterinary group). It presents itself as a specialist referral centre with a multidisciplinary team, and reviews describe complex cases including cancer work-ups and surgery, and soft palate surgery with an intensive care stay. The website also highlights an orthopaedic pathway: TPLO cases seen within 48 hours (as stated) and a fixed TPLO price of £4,750 across all patient weights. Recent reviews are mostly positive about clinical outcomes and support, but there’s a clear conflict on service experience: some describe staff “going above and beyond,” while one reviewer reports slow responses to emails and follow-up requests alongside very high fees.

Celia Hammond Animal Trust is a charity-run cat rescue that also provides routine veterinary procedures, and it’s listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews focus heavily on cat adoption alongside neutering/spaying, microchipping, and vaccinations, with multiple owners describing smooth same-day procedures and straightforward recovery guidance. Concrete examples owners mention include: - Cats/kittens being neutered/spayed, microchipped and vaccinated as part of their care. - Special requests being handled (one owner asked for their kittens’ claws to be trimmed alongside microchipping/neutering). - A thorough adoption process, including a home visit and checks of home “catproofing,” which some reviewers say reassured them about safety. - Staff providing post-op recovery suggestions after spaying.

Blue Cross Animal Hospital is part of the Blue Cross animal charity and appears set up to provide veterinary care based on eligibility/financial need, alongside routine and urgent treatment. Reviews include multiple examples of serious, high-stakes support (life-saving treatment for cats, and end-of-life care for an elderly dog), plus practical operational details like a responsive phone line and staff allowing time for questions. However, some recent reviews describe being refused help because they were “not on benefits,” and one reviewer says they were not offered a referral elsewhere.

Rosemary Avenue Veterinary Clinic is a veterinary practice that offers emergency veterinary services and is a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews suggest it handles routine and surgical care (for example cat spaying, post‑op checks, and management of issues like eye infections), with some owners describing thoughtful aftercare such as monitoring pets after surgery before discharge and providing a post‑surgery suit. Owner experiences are mixed: several reviews highlight vets who are notably gentle with cats and explain options clearly, while a couple of recent reviews describe problems around front‑desk interactions, delays in being called back, and being asked to settle balances before being seen.

Richmond Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets network; the clinic website describes practices as “locally owned.” In the information available, the clinic is most clearly evidenced for routine consultations and ongoing condition management, with surgery also mentioned (including an abdominal procedure to remove an undescended testicle) and end-of-life care. Concrete details owners mention include: - A dog’s abdominal surgery for an undescended testicle, with the owner reporting supportive care and good recovery. - Euthanasia support where staff reportedly gave time and space to say goodbye and helped the owner feel reassured about the decision. - A dispute about in-clinic retail pricing and refunds for a dental supplement (ProDen PlaqueOff Powder), where a reviewer says an unopened return was refused. - A serious complaint alleging misdiagnosis/overmedication in a cat and delayed escalation/referral despite the owner requesting further diagnostics; other reviewers describe long-term condition care as trustworthy.

Amwell Veterinary Practice is described on its website as a “friendly” clinic offering advice and treatment for pets “at all stages of their lives,” with consultations by appointment only. Reviews suggest it works with both cats and dogs, and that owners use it for everything from first-time new-pet visits with lots of questions to repeat care over multiple years, including surgery. Experiences with the front desk are mixed: several owners mention helpful scheduling and information, while one recent review reports an unprofessional response when requesting a price estimate for a cat kidney blood test. Concrete specifics supported by available sources: - Puppy training is listed on the clinic website. - Owners mention long-term care for dogs, including “two surgeries” for an older dog. - New-cat appointments are described as question-heavy, with staff answering in detail and helping with scheduling. - One reviewer reports being told the practice was not taking them on as a new client and felt repeatedly pressed to name their previous vet when asking for an estimate.

Medivet Woolwich is part of the Medivet group (a corporate veterinary chain). The practice is set up for routine consultations and diagnostics on-site, with 15‑minute consult slots, an in‑house lab and X‑ray listed. Reviews repeatedly describe vets taking time to explain options and answer questions, including for nervous dogs, and reception trying to accommodate last‑minute appointments. A few concrete touches owners mention include designated cat and dog seating areas at the entrance to help keep visits calmer, and clear follow-up planning (one owner booked a follow‑up in two weeks).

Eden Park Veterinary Surgery is an RCVS-accredited practice that’s been established for over twenty years. From its own service list, it’s set up for routine preventive care (vaccinations, parasite treatment, microchipping), dentistry, and surgical work (including neutering and other major surgery), with on-site X-rays and laboratory testing. Reviewers repeatedly mention being able to get help for urgent problems (“great availability for emergencies”) and describe charges as not “eye-watering.” However, a small number of recent reviews describe serious concerns around emergency communication and follow-up (messages not returned during urgent situations), alongside distress about outcomes.

Medivet Clapham is part of the Medivet group. The clinic appears set up for routine preventive care and in-practice diagnostics/procedures (for cats and dogs), with facilities and services listed including an in-house lab, imaging, and surgery options such as keyhole surgery. Recent reviews include owners describing a free initial kitten check, email advice instead of always requiring an appointment, and a neutering procedure that came in under the quote. One recent 1‑star review describes a serious adverse experience during a routine check-up, with the owner alleging their dog left unable to walk and later required cruciate ligament surgery elsewhere (the vet reportedly denied causing the injury).
