Best Vets in Greater London

Arden House Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent clinic and says it has been caring for patients since 1946. From the reviews available, the practice is frequently used for routine surgeries such as spays and neuters, with multiple owners mentioning follow-up checks after procedures (including “three follow up visits” after a neuter, and a “smooth” follow-up after a spay). Experiences appear mixed: some owners praise specific vets and the front desk, while others report a “gone downhill” experience with rude reception and high/overstated costs, and one long-term client mentions seeing a different vet each time, making rapport difficult.

Brompton Veterinary Clinic is an independent practice established in 1993 by Kevin Clifford. Based on its own service list, it’s set up for routine preventative care (vaccinations, parasite control, neutering), alongside practical add-ons like pet passports, house visits, and grooming & baths, plus a Cat Hotel facility. From the latest reviews available, owners most often mention quick handling of requests and feeling able to trust the clinic’s advice and treatment. There’s also a clear pricing/continuity concern raised by one reviewer: they report being charged £100–£150 per visit (including brief check-ups), £90 for document processing, and seeing different vets across repeat visits with inconsistent alignment.

Parkvets Veterinary Clinic has a 4.5★ Google rating from 106 reviews, but the latest written reviews available to us are sparse (several are star ratings with no comments). Recent feedback includes one owner saying it’s “always the best vets” at this clinic, while another recent reviewer says it’s “far too expensive” and advises choosing an independent clinic (no ownership details are explicitly stated in the information provided).

Holders Hill Veterinary Surgery is used by some owners long-term (multiple reviewers mention staying for 5+ years or “many years”), with recurring comments about vets taking time to explain diagnoses and treatment options—such as when a “terribly ill” kitten was examined and the team taught the owner what to look out for and how to care for him. Several reviews also mention getting “loads of valuable advice” for puppies and feeling listened to when raising concerns about dogs. There is also a sharp negative account describing a failed nail-trim attempt, being sold sedatives to return later, and a dispute about whether cats had been microchipped—so experiences reported are not uniformly positive.

Ownership (independent vs corporate group) isn’t stated in the information available to us. Vet4Life Ltd is described on its website as aiming to provide “professional and compassionate pet healthcare.” From the services and reviews available, the clinic appears set up for both routine care and supportive, longer-term relationships with owners—covering small mammals as well as cats and dogs. Decision-relevant specifics owners mention include: - Small-mammal surgery: multiple reviews describe guinea pig neutering/castration with good outcomes, including a smooth recovery. - End-of-life care: one detailed review describes a humane euthanasia process with memorial touches such as paw prints on a card and a small keepsake (hair in a glass jar). - Reducing stress for nervous pets: owners mention “fun appointments” (positive visits with play/treats) to help pets avoid associating the clinic only with unpleasant experiences. - Communication and follow-up: several reviews describe unrushed appointments, time for questions, and at least one example of a post-procedure follow-up call—but there is also a complaint about promised vet call-backs not happening for 2–3 days.

Part of the Goddard Veterinary Group, this practice offers routine care plus on-site diagnostics (including blood testing and X‑rays) and surgical procedures (“operations” listed on the website). The clinic promotes a free new pet health check, and one reviewer describes getting practical first-time-owner guidance (including insurance and cost discussions) during/around that check—while another reviewer reports being charged £49.50 for what they expected to be free, with unclear explanation. From the latest reviews, owners frequently mention friendly, efficient front-of-house support, and specific care experiences ranging from kitten vaccinations and worming to discussions about dentistry (cleaning/extractions) and further investigation of a possible heart murmur (including a high-cost test quote).

Sidcup Vets4Pets Ltd operates under the Vets4Pets brand (described on its site as “locally owned”) and is set up as a modern, well‑equipped small‑animal practice with in‑house diagnostics (lab, pharmacy, digital x‑ray and ultrasound), an operating theatre, hospital ward, and separate dog/cat wards plus isolation facilities. The practice also lists exotic pet care (including birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and ornamental fish), and it’s marked as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews are mixed: several owners describe being seen on time, having realistic outcomes explained, and not feeling pressured into expensive treatment; others report very negative communication, including feeling rushed into paying for treatment without clear explanation.

Medivet Southfields is part of the Medivet group and is listed on its website as temporarily closed. Based on the clinic’s own service list, it’s set up for routine preventive care (vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping), procedures like neutering and dentistry, and on-site diagnostics (in-house lab and X‑rays), with 15‑minute consultations and nurse clinics. In the latest reviews available to us, owners describe both high-stakes care (one dog “walking on all four legs again” after a critical episode) and end-of-life support (“speed with which they were able to help him find comfort in his final minutes”). A minority of reviewers raise concerns about possible overtreatment/overprescribing and high pricing, while others emphasise long-term trust and continuity of care over many years.

Goddard Veterinary Group Tottenham is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group (one of the group’s original branches, established in the 1950s). The practice offers vet and nurse appointments with on‑site blood testing, x‑rays and operations, plus routine care such as vaccinations, microchipping, parasite treatment and neutering. The website states it is RCVS accredited and has Cat Friendly Clinic status, and the structured clinic data notes it is a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. From the latest reviews available, owners often describe pets being comfortable attending (e.g., dogs “not at all nervous” and even “loving” visits), and one reviewer specifically mentions a cat neutering that went well. There is also a conflicting report of a refusal to be seen near closing time for a sick dog, with the owner saying a vet did not assess the dog.

Pets Clinic Veterinary Surgery is an independent practice (as described by a long-term client) that opened in June 2009 and describes itself as a modern surgery offering “an excellent standard of veterinary care” (website). Based on recent reviews, the clinic is used heavily for cat care, including injury treatment (a cat’s paw after a fox attack) and end-of-life support (euthanasia on Christmas Eve with guidance through the process). Owners also describe the team as strong on clear explanations and answering questions, while a minority of recent reviews raise concerns about rudeness/shouting from an older vet, suggesting the experience can vary depending on who you see.
