Best Vets in Lambeth – Complete Local Guide

Veteris Clapham Mobile provides mobile urgent and emergency veterinary care, with a focus on home visits after phone triage by veterinary surgeons. Based on the website, they treat cats, dogs, and exotic pets needing urgent care. Recent reviews describe overnight/weekend support, including a home visit for a sick cat to avoid the stress of travel, medication provided after an in-home check-up, and intensive day-and-night care for a very unwell cat—one vet reportedly staying several hours beyond their shift to continue care.

Streatham Hill Veterinary Surgery has a 4.6★ Google rating from 1,025 reviews. Ownership (independent vs corporate group) isn’t stated in the information provided. From the latest reviews available, it appears set up for both routine consultations and urgent, hands-on treatment: one owner describes their cat needing surgery/sutures after a serious injury, with follow-up afterwards. Reviews also show mixed experiences around consultation communication—some owners felt reassured and that their pets stayed calm during the visit, while another describes feeling rushed, not listened to, and not receiving a promised callback.

Paxton Veterinary Clinics Ltd is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and as offering emergency veterinary services. Recent reviews describe a practice that sees a mix of routine care and more complex cases, including behaviour-led consultations. Owners give concrete examples such as being fitted in after arriving on the wrong date, emergency assessment of a sick kitten with a “get to the bottom of the problem” approach, and vets offering alternative treatment options rather than a single path.

Medivet Streatham - Vale Veterinary Clinic is part of the Medivet group (not independent). Based on the information available, it handles routine vet care as well as urgent cases, with owners describing surgery, ongoing care for cats over many years, and support around end-of-life situations. The clinic also advertises a FREE Mobility Pain Check (until 30 November) and publishes a nationwide overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 for consultations between 7pm and 9am. Review experiences are mixed: several owners describe clear communication and support (including being kept informed during an emergency and receiving out-of-hours results calls), while one recent reviewer alleges repeated paid rechecks with different vets, a referral they felt was premature/expensive, and a slow complaint response.

Norbury Pet Health Centre describes itself as an independent, small veterinary practice that’s been established for around 55 years, with digital x‑ray and ultrasound listed on its site. For out-of-hours care, it states cases are handled by The South London Emergency Veterinary Centre. From the latest reviews, owners most often mention: - WhatsApp messaging for advice and arranging appointments, including reassurance and next-day check-ups for a newly rescued kitten. - Routine surgery with structured follow-up, e.g., a cat spay where two follow-up checks were included as standard. - End-of-life support, including a home visit euthanasia (during a lunch period), time given to say goodbye, and an unexpected condolence letter afterwards. There is also a clear conflict in experiences: one recent reviewer describes a lack of urgency and no blood tests/further examination offered for a deteriorating dog, while many others describe the team as responsive and supportive in stressful situations.

Independent emergency and referral clinic operating since 2000, set up for acute cases that may need rapid diagnostics and hospital-level monitoring. The website highlights an intensive care unit, in-house lab work, and imaging (digital X‑ray/ultrasound), and reviews describe pets being seen quickly late at night and kept in overnight care when needed. Recent reviewers mention treatment for a blocked bladder in a cat and urgent management after a dog ingested something toxic, with staff keeping owners informed and explaining the plan. A small number of reviews report gaps in availability and a less empathetic bedside manner during euthanasia, suggesting experiences can vary depending on timing and clinician.

Voo Vets Battersea describes itself as a family-owned and run veterinary group, combining general practice with specialist support, plus a dedicated 24-hour emergency and hospital-care team. The website highlights practical offerings like keyhole spay and a free second opinion. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention not feeling “sold to” on treatments, and one client specifically contrasts their experience with previous misdiagnoses elsewhere, saying issues were diagnosed and addressed in a single visit. Vaccination visits are also mentioned, with one owner noting their kitten’s first vaccination was handled gently and attentively.

Part of the Goddard Veterinary Group (this practice has been in the group since 2008) and set up for routine care with on-site diagnostics and procedures: the website states blood testing, X‑rays and operations can be done in-house. For urgent problems outside normal hours, the group runs a 24/7 emergency hospital year-round (named as Stone Lion Veterinary Hospital). From the latest reviews available to us, owners frequently mention helpful, friendly staff and practical touches like reception working to fit appointments around schedules and free treats for dogs—but there is also a recent account of a very negative phone interaction (being shouted at and the call being ended).
