Kingswood House

Kingswood House, Seeley Drive, London, SE21 8QN

Kingswood House is a stunning 19th century Grade II listed building. This hidden gem, nestled in the middle of the Kingswood Estate, close to Sydenham, Dulwich and Crystal Palace, was first commissioned in 1811 by William Vizard, a well-connected solicitor who leased 30 acres from Dulwich College. The house was extended in the 1890s by John Lawson Johnston, the inventor of Johnston’s Fluid Beef (Bovril) and was affectionately known as Bovril Castle. The house was used during World War One as a convalescent home for Canadian Soldiers and during World War Two the basements were modified into a bomb shelter.

Kingswood House combines the charm and character of a grand Victorian building, with the versatility of a modern wedding and event venue - offering the benefits of both for your celebration. Across 3 grand reception rooms we can host parties of up to 150 guests for dinner plus 150 evening guests. Our Ballrooms can separately be hired for smaller weddings and events.
