In addition to our core work of providing veterinary care for animals presented by RSPCA Inspectors we provide a subsidised (not free) veterinary service to animals whose owners are registered with us. We are not taking on new clients or registering any new pets for existing clients.

History

Finsbury Park Animal Hospital, located in Holloway, North London, was built in 1968 using money left by Sir Harold Harmsworth in his will.

Sir Harold Harmsworth, an animal lover who came from a prominent publishing family, wanted to provide a place where people who lived in the area could receive veterinary treatment for their pets.

The RSPCA has funded the hospital since 1968, providing a low-cost veterinary service to people on low incomes in the surrounding community.
