- Lily's Club Dog Grooming – 87 Kenton Rd, Harrow HA3 0AH, United Kingdom
Lily's Club is a dog grooming salon at 87 Kenton Road in Kenton.

De-shedding is included free of charge when a dog needs it, and there is a first-groom option for puppies. Weight bands run from toy and small breeds up to extra-large dogs over 29kg. The team says it has worked with pets for years, offering grooming, boarding and day care in London and Bristol, and describes itself as the first salon in the UK to introduce chromotherapy for pets. Every dog leaves with a bow, tie or stickers. Kenton and Northwick Park stations are each about three minutes on foot, and Harrow-on-the-Hill is about sixteen.
