A message from Embassy Gardens management to our dog loving community
We’re very proud of our community of pets at Embassy Gardens and it’s our pleasure to look after both owners and their pets. We are committed to further improving the lifestyle for our furry residents. We have worked hard in recent years to evolve with the times and have welcomed more dogs to EG, especially since Covid propelled the demand. There are, of course, some processes that have to be followed, including pet licenses so that we can allocate resources appropriately and protect the interests of those with pets and the wider community.
Embassy Gardens benefits from 14-acre Nine Elms Park that spans between Battersea Power Station and Vauxhall, and we are currently reviewing the future use of our green spaces – continuously working alongside the Residents Association to look after the interests of all. We are delighted that most our commercial tenants’ welcome dogs within their premises, including Linnaean, District Coffee, Homeboy, Bar Rex and The Alchemist, and soon Embassy Gardens will have its very own pet shop called Furmily.
As part of our commitment to our pet loving community we are very excited to host our very first on-site party dedicated to humans and dogs. There will be additional dog waste bins installed prior to the event, which will be left there permanently. We look forward to seeing you at the Embassy Gardens Pawfect Street Party on Saturday 3rd September and hope it will be the first of many events to bring dog lovers together whilst helping dog charities.
We welcome any feedback or suggestions on how we can further improve and ask that you do so by raising a ticket via Eg:Life so these can be appropriately addressed, or alternatively by speaking to a member of the team at Concierge.
Kind regards,
Embassy Gardens Management Team
