My boyfriend and I made a stop here during our wander in the town and thoroughly enjoyed yourselves. Unfortunately we couldn't get a tour of the place. It turns out that whether you can tour depends on whether they're too busy or not. During our particular visit they apparently had too many meetings. But the gardens were very relaxing the solarium was a great place for tea. The tea brands are decent quality and their carrot cake was perfect. My bf had the latte, which was quite tasty. Don't expect to spend an entire day there, but certainly it's a great spot to chill out at for an hour or two.

When in full working order the castle is available for weddings and parties and I have had the pleasure of hiring this venue twice.

We had a couple of coffees, a cream tea (without the tea), and one of THE BEST sausage rolls I've ever tasted (but I'm America - living here 6 years, so please assess that statement as you see fit). We ate on a bench right outside the folly, but I recommend continue walking for about 60 seconds and there are some more benches with wide open views! Only 4 stars as I live in north London and I'm not sure it's worth a way out of the way trip, but definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Around four years ago my friends and I walked past here on one of the green chain walks around South London...and we all thought it was a shame that this place was all boarded up and empty. Yesterday, we were walking in the other direction (this time on the capital ring walk...) and it was a lovely surprise to see that it is all in use. Now they have a café on the ground floor, selling cakes, teas and pretty decent ice-cream. Apparently if you pay £2.50 you can climb up to the top and explore, and hear about the history of Severndroog. The lady in the tea room also mentioned that it is possible to hire the whole place for events / weddings. Apparently Severndroog Castle's opening times are 11:00am - 3pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays Oct - March. So pop in if you're wandering along one of South London's pretty walks.

There are a lot short courses that are run here such as IT, Music and Poetry for young people as well as adults. They're an information shop as they provide information about on what's going on currently within Stratford Circus as well as offering other information, with receptionists to help. If they are offering dance lessons which they often do they'll often hold the auditions there (they sometimes hold auditions because they get a large number of individuals wanting to take on this particular course). It's clean and well maintained they have quite a few mini rooms on the first floor (two floors) and when your in there, there is a sense you feel you won't be disturbed while in that space. Ground floor they have two theatre halls on either side with a café that serves hot drinks in the middle which you see as soon as you enter right in front of you and chairs with tables.
