Norbury Pet Health Centre – Vets in Lambeth

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

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.

People

Named staff mentioned in reviews

  • Barbara (vet): described by one owner as “a star” (review does not add specifics beyond the endorsement).
  • Nicky (vet): repeatedly mentioned in emotionally difficult situations and clinical follow-up
  • Performed a home euthanasia visit alongside Daniel; explained the procedure gently and later sent a condolence letter (review).
  • Mentioned by another owner in relation to spay aftercare, including reassurance and follow-up checks (review).
  • One reviewer reports Nicky said she checks on admitted pets overnight (reported by the reviewer).
  • Daniel: mentioned as the person who took an urgent call about an elderly dog and called back within 30 minutes after speaking to the vet to arrange a home visit (review). Another reviewer also refers to a person usually on reception who also does pet check-ups and has an easy manner with their cat (not named in that review).

Front desk experience is mixed: multiple reviews praise helpfulness, but one recent review describes a cold response and being told to wait until the next day despite reporting severe symptoms, with no suggestion to seek emergency care.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 286 reviews. “”

  • Support during end-of-life care is a standout theme: home euthanasia described as compassionate and well-explained, time given for goodbyes, and a condolence letter afterwards.
  • Follow-up and reassurance after procedures: one owner said their cat’s spay included two follow-up checks as standard, and they were encouraged to bring the pet back when worried.
  • Access and communication: WhatsApp messaging is repeatedly mentioned for advice and arranging care.
  • A serious negative account about urgency/triage: one reviewer reports no tests or further investigation were offered for worsening symptoms and that they were told to wait, followed by the dog later being found to have lost significant blood and subsequently passing away. This contrasts with many other reviews describing fast help and empathy.
