Its been an exciting trip with lots of surprises. I was wondered by the history of the castle. The top of the castle was accessible for mesmerizing view. The area has incredible view with lots of woods. Perfect for kids, pets and elderly people to have a healthy and happy walk. It got tea room and toilets. The parking is free. Perfect for weekend trip with family. The Sunday markets are cherry on top. We had lots of fun, activity at Nan and Van workshop. Many artisans were there too. Interesting food and sweets as well. Enjoy 😊

Unfortunately, the information was not correct in that the castle itself is only open for visitors on a Sunday. There is a coffee and cake shop on the ground floor which had an interesting selection of home made cakes. I bought three slices a tea and a mocha for around £15. The wait to get in was because the shop is small. They have seats inside and some outside too.

Wonderful views from the top and a lovely story. Amazing place with a really quiet and peaceful atmosphere that takes you centuries ago. We paid 4£ each and they are both worth it and valuable + important to keep this stunning building standing and well preserved. Lovely attention from the volunteers, who are amazingly kind and helpful.

Open Sundays 10am-4pm. 30-minute bus486 ride from North Greenwich to Memorial Hospital Bus stop took us to the smallest castle on the highest point in London, and from the viewing platform we were mesmerised by the spectacular 360-degree views over London. The staff were friendly and lent us a telescope. We bought a castle keyring as a souvenir. The rose garden was still in bud. Severndroog Castle was designed by architect Richard Jupp in an ornate Gothic style with no practical utility at all, called a Folly, 63 ft (19 m) high and triangular in section, with a hexagonal turret at each corner. It is commonly referred to as a castle because of its turrets, but due to its small size and the fact that it never functioned as a castle. It was built in April 1755 to commemorate Admiral Sir William James, who attacked and destroyed the Maratha island fortress Svarnadurg (Severndroog in English) on the west coast of India between Mumbai and Goa. James died in 1783 and the follies were erected as a memorial to him by his widow, Lady James of Eltham.

Visited here when the market/craft was on Sunday. Took a trip to the viewing tower £4 for adults. Unexpected history great views very pleasant staff. Had a walk around the woods also. beautiful! Tight parking so I’d suggest to do so before turning in snd walk the short walk.

Well worth a visit - the view from the top is amazing and the local history info is fascinating. Friendly helpful staff and a tea room with some tasty looking treats (we didn't eat). The one thing I'd say is check opening status thoroughly in advance - it took me three tries to visit successfully!

Amazing view, friendly staff, ice cream, homemade cakes and coffee all you need for a Sunday walk.

Great way to speed a day outdoors, nice view and history 👌 👍 Maybe next time, we'll be more lucky to find it open even if we check the website and is supposed to be open on a Sunday 😕

Honestly this was a surprise that everyone should experience. Went for the Sunday market and decided to climb the castle "just because" and that was the best decision. Rich in history, they sell hot drinks, and such an amazing view of several boroughs in a panoramic setting. A must see for everyone!

Pretty folly with absolutely amazing views across London. Enthusiastic volunteers on the viewing platform with binoculars and labeled photos to identify landmarks, and a nice little tea room at the ground floor. Well worth the visit.

Great place near my home to meet friends, look at the view on top of Shooter's Hill and over London. One of the high points between Kent and London. They' serve food and drink, so good with any social actives with friends. You can have cake 🍰 drinks, sandwiches,et al.

The 360° view of London as seen from the top of Serverndroog Castle is beyond compare. The gardens and woods that surround it welcome lovers of nature and dog walkers. Unique features, not to miss!

What a lovely little gem this place is. Very attractive castle. Love the story behind it. The Cafe is a lovely little touch with great coffee and lovely homemade pastries and cakes. The sausage rolls are another level. The staff are really nice too. If you get a chance to visit the viewing platform at the top of the castle, do it. The views are awesome.

I lived locally as a child and knew this as a disused building. So lovely to see it restored. We bought croissants and drinks from the cafe and shared it with a mama Magpie and her baby and then a Robin. Set in a beautiful spot in the Woods. Well worth a visit. I wish we'd been able to go up to the viewing platform.... We should have googled before we left.

I visited here in February. This oddly shaped (and named) castle is hidden amongst woodland at the top of a hill. There was a small cafe, but the castle wasn't open.

Great little museum. Open on Sundays, 4 pounds to go to the tower. On a sunny day great view, and park around is nice and not crowded )

Attended a rare evening musical performance, timed our climb up, for an equally rare view of the city at night

Looking nice from the outside, not as big though. I'd really appreciate if it was announced the day it was closed though. We came all the way driving from a distance
