Pet-friendly buildings near the Q10 bus in Kew Gardens

It means the building is flagged as allowing pets under its own policy for at least some residents. You still need to confirm the exact rules for your pet (type, size/weight, any breed limits, the maximum number of pets, and required documentation) before signing.

Filters and signals don’t replace an in-person assessment. For any concern, ask the building directly about current remediation, recent inspections, and the process they follow for recurring issues.
