With its landscaped courtyards, riverside walks, and concierge-managed entrances, St George Wharf in Vauxhall SW8 offers a premium lifestyle for city residents—but prospective buyers and tenants often ask: are pets allowed?
At Fraser Bond, we regularly advise landlords and leaseholders on residency conditions and block-specific rules, including pet ownership. This article outlines the pet policy at St George Wharf, who it applies to, and what permissions may be required before bringing an animal into the building.
Yes—but with restrictions. Most residential leases at St George Wharf include a clause stating that no pets may be kept in the property without the prior written consent of the landlord or freeholder.
This means:
Pets are not automatically permitted
Written permission must be requested and granted
Conditions may be imposed, including noise control, hygiene standards, and liability for damage
If you're a leaseholder living in your flat, you must:
Review your lease for any express “no pets” clauses
Apply to the managing agent or freeholder for written permission
Provide details of the animal, including species, breed, and size
Confirm in writing that the pet will not cause nuisance or damage
Approval is typically granted on a case-by-case basis, particularly for smaller, well-behaved pets (e.g. cats or small dogs).
If you rent out your flat, your tenants must also seek permission before keeping a pet. As a landlord, you must:
Confirm lease terms regarding pet ownership
Apply on behalf of your tenant or authorise them to do so
Update the tenancy agreement to include pet clauses and liability provisions
Fraser Bond assists landlords in preparing compliant AST agreements, referencing pets where necessary.
Tenants must not bring pets into the property unless:
They have express written permission from both the landlord and the building’s freeholder or managing agent
Their tenancy agreement contains a pet addendum outlining conditions of pet ownership
They agree to cover potential costs for damage, noise, or deep cleaning at tenancy end
Unauthorised pet ownership may result in breach of lease, eviction notices, or fines, depending on block enforcement policies.
Limit on number or size of pets
No dangerous or exotic animals
Animals must be kept under control in communal areas
Noise, odour, and hygiene must not cause nuisance to neighbours
The leaseholder remains fully liable for any resulting damage or complaints
Blocks within St George Wharf are generally strictly managed, and complaints from neighbours or concierge may lead to revocation of permission.
Pet ownership at St George Wharf is possible—but only with formal consent. Whether you’re a buyer, landlord, or tenant, it’s essential to follow lease terms and obtain written permission before bringing pets onto the premises.
