16th Century Gothic building with historical ties to India & the slave trade. Pleasantly restored roughly between 2014 and 2017. Has an awesome platform of views of London and beyond, rarely seen.

This is a fabulous little Keep/Castle. In a lovely wood. The surrounding view is nothing short of sensational!! Lots of lovely, friendly, helpful volunteers on each floor and a little cafe as you walk in for hot, cold beverages and snacks. Well worth a visit

This castle is an amazing place - mainly for the incredible view at the top. Photos cannot capture that 360 degree view - nir the distance. Apparently, on a clear day you can see as far as Rochester Airport (South) and Wembley Stadium, Essex hills, Windsor Castle, Crystal Palace, Croydon - breath-taking views. Inside the castle is a room with a timeline history and volunteers who are very knowledgable about the history. There is also a lovely tea room and charming walks through woodland. Highly recommend!!

This cute folly offers amazing views over London in all direction, and can be visited while exploring Eltham Common, Oxleas Wood, and the surrounding areas. There is a café on the ground floor with a nice selection of snacks and hot and cold drinks, looked after by a friendly team. Theres plenty of seating outside too. A lovely find and an oasis of calm in an otherwise busy and built up area of the city.

What a lovely hidden gem this is,.only recently found out it was here despite living 20 minutes away for 20+ years. The viewing platform, open Sundays, offers amazing views over the London skyline. We were lucky enough to have clear skies and could see as far as Wembley and Windsor Castle! The volunteers were very knowledgeable, kindly pointing out landmarks, offering us binoculars and providing a wealth of information. There is a gorgeous woodland area around the Castle, and the Rose Garden, a huge open green space with lots of fallen trees to sit on and views across Eltham, Bromley to Croydon and the TV tower at Crystal Palace are accessible via some sets of stairs. We parked in the little car park a short walk up and accessible path to Severndroog, but it started to get pretty busy as we were leaving around 1030 Sunday morning. There is a lovely cafe at the base of the tower, offering drinks and cakes, and there is also a toilet. There is seating outside, and well behaved dogs are welcome. Access to the tower is up a stone, narrow, spiral staircase (with no lift). Really enjoyed this little jaunt to find this little gem of a place 😊
