Victorian Day at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home

Battersea Dogs and Cats Home is multi-tasking like mad, with an open day that combines the perennially enticing activity of drooling over cute critters with a chance to learn some nineteenth-century history. Take a tour of the kennels and cattery, and get an insight into what it would have been like to be an abandoned pooch arriving at what was originally called the Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs. Then cheer yourself up by playing traditional games and pigging out on pie and mash or a bag of proper old-fashioned sweeties.
