Thumbs up for The Neighbourhood Vet on LL - never had any issues with them and have been using them since they started in Peckham Rye. They did a great job on one of my dogs who was viciously attacked towards the end of last year - I found them to be professional, friendly and knowledgeable.
We used to go to Ellie at Norwood Road Vets near Brockwell Park. She was really really amazing but with no car now we switched to Lordship Lane to make life easier. They seem fine, lots of nice young vets, very efficient and yes, expensive. It feels different from a small practice with only one or two vets but our experience has been positive so far.

Do you mean the Neighbourhood Vet at the old HSBC near the Co-Op or Medivet that used to be Lordship Lane vets further up towards Forest Hill?


It sounds like the former, in which case I can highly recommend them, they were so caring and professional in dealing with my poorly cat, especially Amber. Sometimes a bit less sharp on the admin side but good customer service always made up for it.


I have also been with Medivet/Lordship Lane vets previously who were OK but I had a generally much better experience with the Neighbourhood vet.

I recently made the decision to change from my long established relationship with a vet. I contacted Neighbourhood Vets and London Animal Hospital and went with the latter, even though further away. They responded to my on line contact by phone and e mail and I have recently had to use them and whilst it is a different feel from a smaller practice, very satisfied with the vets I have been in contact with. Also, I have taken into consideration they are not only a vet practice but also open 24/7 so for me, better to have everthing under one roof as opposed to going to an emergency service either in Streatham or them and then having all mailed to one's vet when they open but it is a personal choice. Never heard from Neighbourhood Vet at all and free tea and coffee is neither here nor there. Parking isn't that easy either but know people who are happy with them. Ultimately, vets charges are much of a muchness and one has to go with gut feeling and of course, plenty of chats with dog owners.
They were very honest with me after I had wasted a lot of money needlessly prolonging the life of a very poorly animal with another veterinary practice. So although they may be pricey, they don't overcharge. They were also really kind and supportive.

I moved from The Neighborhood Vet to Ellie in Norwood Rd ,Herne Hill .


One of our cats has a skin problem which the NV were unable to resolve after many v expensive tests and a v expensive prescription .I was defeated by seeing a different person each time and by being given conflicting advice eg bath skin with salt water v.absolutely don't do that .


Ellie is marvellous and sorted our cat out immediately .

    • Direct link to joint statement : https://thehaguegroup.org/meetings-bogota-en/?link_id=2&can_id=2d0a0048aad3d4915e3e761ac87ffe47&source=email-pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogota-breakthrough&email_referrer=email_2819587&email_subject=pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogot_-breakthrough&&   No. 26 | The Bogotá Breakthrough “The era of impunity is over.” That was the message from Bogotá, Colombia, where governments from across the Global South and beyond took the most ambitious coordinated action since Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began 21 months ago. Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
