London's top attractions and activities for Animal Lovers

There's plenty on offer in our guide

Japan is frequently ahead of the trends, so it’s no surprise that it was here where cat cafes really took off. The premise is simple: the venues offer hot drinks, snacks and feline company to guests, who can play, stroke or simply watch the animals as they go about their business. Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium isin Shoreditch (where else?)and you need to book a time slot in advance, this is because numbers of guests are kept low so as not to disturb the 12 resident cats.
