The Kingswood Estate behind Sydenham Hill Station has a hidden gem. 'Bovril Castle' built over 200 years ago has been under conservation work for the past few years, and is offering free tours of the building.

its most famous owner was John Johnston who bought it in 1891 and added the stone facade and castle battlements that now make it so distinctive. It was Johnson who invented Bovril - hence its nickname.
