WagWorks to open second London club
WagWorks, a membership club for dogs, is to open its second club in Islington Square, North London, later this month following the success of its Fulham flagship.
The company, which opened its first club in Fulham in 2022, says the new 8,000sq ft Islington club is a “major step in its growth plans” and delivers a “new level of convenience, expertise and holistic care” to North London dog owners.
Founded by James Netherthorpe and Rhi and Ollie Hudd-Williams, WagWorks clubs offer every aspect of canine care under one roof, including daycare, training led by in-house behaviourist Winkie Spiers, grooming, and healthcare.
The new Islington club, which is led by experienced vet Dr Steph Day, features:
- Non-slip textures, soothing colour palettes
- Spacious, temperature-controlled indoor parks, where dogs are grouped by size and temperament
- Designated ‘Scent Dens’ to stimulate scent, problem-solving and natural behaviours
- Cosy rest stables for calm and undisturbed sleep and relaxation
- A dedicated puppy socialisation area to support early development and confidence-building
- A spa-inspired grooming studio offering stress-free treatments in a home-from-home environment
- An on-site healthcare suite focused on preventative care and convenient access to expert veterinary advice.
WagWorks membership begins with an onboarding call followed by a meet & greet, where a dog and their owner are introduced to the space and team. Tailored care plans are created based on each dog and their family’s needs and lifestyle.
Ollie Hudd-Williams, WagsWorks Co-Founder and Chief Executive, said: “The response to our inaugural club in Fulham has been phenomenal; we’ve seen first-hand how much people value thoughtful and expert-led holistic care, especially in a busy city like London. North London has long been on our radar, and Islington Square is the perfect setting for our second club.
“We’re so excited to welcome a new community of people who want the very best care for their dogs. This launch is just the beginning of our journey to reimagine dog care across London and beyond.”
WagWorks Islington will be open from 7am to 7:30pm Monday to Friday, and 10am to 6pm on Saturdays.
