Best Vets in Southwark – Complete Local Guide

The Neighbourhood Vet is an RCVS-registered practice and is accredited as a Cat Friendly Clinic. It also states it is a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on recent owner accounts, the clinic is set up for both routine care and more involved cases: reviews mention supporting a rescue cat with complex health issues over years, a dog spay with aftercare check-ins, and a Sunday visit for a very unwell cat where the vet provided a careful assessment and reassurance. Several reviewers also describe follow-ups/check-ins after treatment and clear explanations from staff.

London Prime Vets is an independent veterinary clinic. Based on its website and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and same-day urgent problems, with on-site diagnostics and surgery listed (including emergency surgery). Recent reviewers describe rapid response to urgent situations (a puppy seen late in the evening after potential xylitol exposure; another seen immediately on a Sunday for an eye injury) and active follow-up (a late-night check-in call after treatment; monitoring over the following week). Concrete specifics supported by the inputs: - Emergency presentation for a possible xylitol ingestion was treated within about an hour, with late-night follow-up from a team member named Dagmar. - Eye injury care for a puppy (scratched in the eye) was seen immediately on a Sunday and monitored over the next week. - The website lists advanced diagnostic tools such as ultrasound, echocardiography (heart scans), endoscopy, in-house lab testing, and dental X-rays.

Cat-only veterinary clinic with a named founder (Dr Jeremy Campbell) and a stated role as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews repeatedly describe a set-up designed to reduce feline stress (quiet feel, private rooms offered quickly, “calming mist” used), plus proactive follow-up after visits (owners mention staff checking in several times after a vaccination reaction). Recent feedback is mixed on administration: alongside praise for the vets’ care, some owners describe problems with healthcare-plan flea treatment deliveries and having to chase for updates, and one review alleges records were withheld over an unpaid balance from a previous owner.

Norwood Road Veterinary Surgery provides routine pet healthcare (health checks, neutering/spaying, puppy/kitten checks, and dental advice) and also sees small pets including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters. It’s described by one reviewer as corporately owned (group not named), and multiple reviews mention higher fees than other practices. From the latest reviews, owners frequently point to efficient admin and digital communication (prompt email replies; booking via the website), and a clean, “spotless” clinic environment. However, a few recent reviews report serious frustrations around pricing and consistency—specifically a disputed ear problem diagnosis and a stressful, last‑minute cancellation around travel paperwork.

Medivet Southwark is part of the Medivet group (a corporate veterinary provider). The practice offers 15‑minute consultations and has on-site diagnostics (in‑house laboratory, X‑rays and ultrasound), with dentistry also listed. Out-of-hours care is handled by another Medivet 24‑hour site, and the website states there’s no charge for assessment by phone (with an out-of-hours consult fee of £130). From the latest reviews, owners often describe calm, well-managed appointments and vets taking time to explain ongoing problems (including seizures and multi-condition care in an elderly dog). However, two recent 1‑star reviews describe serious concerns around communication and follow‑up (e.g., owners saying promised call-backs didn’t happen and delays around an urgent referral), in contrast to other reviews praising support during emergencies.
