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 .

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
