Parking
There is access to the front of the practice through our front door, please be aware it is locked for security so please ring the bell. Parking is limited outside of the practice, however, there are some pay and display spaces on Ellenborough Road (just off Lordship Lane, next to the primary school) which is a 5-minute drive from the practice. Parking is free after 6:30 pm in the residential bays on Tintern road and on Saturdays.
If you are coming to us in an emergency, you may park directly outside the practice in the loading bay while we help transport your pet into the practice.
Please do not park on the double yellow lines, electric charging points or residential bays as you could face a fine from the council. If you have any other questions or need some more help please call the practice directly on 0208 881 0240.

Here is a shortlist of just some of the plants which can be hazardous to our pets that grow in the summer months to watch out for.

While we’re enjoying the hot summer sun 🌞, our pets might not be. We can regulate our temperature 🌡️ and take off layers of clothing but our pets can't do this. As a result they overheat and suffer from heatstroke.
This summer, please take the time to read our blog to make yourself aware of the signs of heatstroke so you can keep your pets safe in the warmer months. If you suspect your pet has heatstroke, remove your pet from the hot environment immediately and call us.
