Why South Kensington dogs come to King's
If you live in South Kensington, King's is not “near” you — it is your neighbourhood daycare. Most SW7 clients walk their dogs to us in the morning: down Onslow Gardens or Sumner Place and you are at our door. That walkability matters more than it sounds — no van, no crate, no motorway, just a short walk and a full day of company, play and rest, then a short walk home. Add a grooming slot in our salon, or stay for a coffee at drop-off. It is daycare the way it should work when it is genuinely local.
Getting to King's from South Kensington
On foot: from South Kensington station, down Onslow Square and Sumner Place to the Fulham Road — under 10 minutes for most of SW7. We are at 177 Fulham Road, SW3 6JW, close to the Royal Marsden.
