## About The Property

Residential outdoor activity centre for youth and charity groups - no hens, stags or families - sorry.

Woodrow High House, part of the charity London Youth, is nestled within 26 acres of private grounds at the end of London's Metropolitan Line. We work with over 7,000 young people every year, helping them to be the best they can be, and are open year-round to organisations like schools, youth organisations, charities, faith groups, corporates. We offer a wide range of exciting activities including high ropes, archery, swimming and team-building exercises.

Our fully qualified instructors work with groups of all abilities and ages, to develop confidence and resilience, build relationships and promote a healthy lifestyle, as well as having fun. We work with each of our groups to create a bespoke activity programme to meet your outcomes, whether this includes a full activity programme, partial or completely self-led. We also offer corporate team building days.

After a day of activities you can make use of one of our relaxing lounges. With food freshly prepared on-site, our helpful kitchen team are happy to discuss your dietary requirements. Bedrooms vary in size (containing 2-5 bunk beds), with group leaders in single or twin rooms. Spread over 3 floors and split into 4 areas, each group will have their own space. All bed linen is provided. Up to 113 can be accommodated.

Meeting room facilities are available if required for your programme; these can be set up with tables, chairs, a projector and screen, and can be hired for the day too, for a group get together.

Your group can also make use of our sports hall, Astroturf and swimming pool facilities. In the evening you can use our games room complete with tuck shop, table tennis, football table and music.

Our beautiful grounds provide an ideal setting to get away from a busy lifestyle and enjoy the countryside. An evening round the camp fire, is the perfect way to round off the day.
