King's Veterinary Centre

King’s Veterinary Centre is part of Linnaeus (an affiliate of Mars, Incorporated) and is RCVS-accredited. The website describes facilities including five consulting rooms, two theatres, plus dedicated dental and x‑ray rooms. It also states a 24-hour, 365-day service for registered clients, operated by their own vets at another branch.

From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe: being fit in quickly when needed (including one report of being seen despite not being registered), support through long-running/complex cases (a dog with neurological issues and paralysis over 12 months), and compassionate end-of-life care. A smaller but repeated theme is cost—one reviewer calls it “a bit expensive,” while another describes it as “about average.”
