Discover new build and professionally managed developments across London where pets are welcome, with options spanning locations from Colindale and Wembley to Canary Wharf and Elephant & Castle.
Finding a home with a pet can be more complicated in the traditional private rental market, where permission may depend on the individual landlord and their willingness to accept pets.
Professionally managed rental developments can offer a more straightforward alternative. Many have an established pet policy, so renters can understand the requirements before applying rather than relying on an individual landlord’s discretion. Depending on the development, there may still be conditions around the number, size or type of pets permitted.
Some developments go further by incorporating amenities specifically for pet owners. At 8 Water Street in Canary Wharf, for example, residents have access to dedicated pet-friendly facilities including a dog agility area, alongside landscaped gardens and nearby waterside spaces.
For renters who don’t want pet ownership to significantly restrict where or how they live, professionally managed and Build to Rent developments can provide a much wider range of high-quality options across London.
Pet policies can vary between developments, so it is worth checking the requirements for your specific pet before choosing an apartment. A development being pet-friendly does not necessarily mean that every type or number of pet will be accepted under the same terms.
Under the Renters’ Rights Act, landlords must consider requests to keep a pet and cannot unreasonably refuse permission, although approval is still required and individual circumstances can be taken into account.
Things to confirm can include whether prior approval is required and whether there are any restrictions relating to the number or type of pets permitted. For dog owners in particular, you may also want to consider practical factors such as private outdoor space, nearby parks and green spaces, or dedicated pet facilities within the development.
