Only in London would you find a castle in the middle of a mile of council flats, and within this castle find a rock climbing gym. This place is amazing, and having gotten a small taste of it, I now want to go back for more. Plenty of wallspace, lots of variety, good vibe, nice cafe, fair prices, etc, etc, etc. Definitely rad.

I think that climbing centre inside a castle is amazing. There are enough castles that are like museums. I like that they used the building on a different way. And halls are huge so it's nice for climbing.
