Severndroog Castle, Exclusive Hire
Castlewood, Shooters Hill, Greenwich, SE18 3RT -
Up to
50 guests
Severndroog castle is a gothic-style tower, built in 1784 by Lady James. The castle was built as an expression of love to commemorate the achievements of Lady James’ late husband, Sir William James. With this romantic gesture as the foundation of the castle what better place to tie the knot. You don’t have to build a tower to celebrate your love but you can hire this romantic castle for your special day.
The castle is situated on the summit of Shooters Hill and is surrounded by an enchanted woodland which provides a perfect backdrop for ceremonies and photos. Severndroog is the perfect venue for intimate ceremonies in a unique setting.

March 2025Great local find. Will be back. On Sunday with market would recommend not trying to park in small car park.

January 2025Maybe more of a folly than a Castle but grand it is all the same, some of the best views in South East London. Include a walk through many of the neighbouring woods and fields to make a complete day out

March 2025Lovely experience visiting this somewhat of a hidden gem in southeast London. The staff at the castle were very welcoming, informative and kind. Best to come on a sunny/clear day so that you can see the furthest from the view point of this castle on its roof. Tickets are 5£ for adults and 4£ for students and it’s definitely worth the price. The history of the castle, though a bit colonially inclined, is quite rich and well presented. Takes around 45 minutes for the whole experience and that includes the views from the top of the castle. The best surprise we got was that there were binoculars provided to us in order to see the far reaches of gaze from the top of this 18th century feat of human engineering.
