Spurgeon's College
United Kingdom / Croydon, England
Location ID: #10137732
Built in 1890 in the grand Victorian style and set in six acres of woodland, this large mansion with over 30 rooms is now a college. Public rooms form the main point of the house, with kitchens and former servants' quarters reached via the back stairs. The main cantilevered staircase and original features including fireplaces, balconies and spectacular ceilings remain in situ. Other features include a wood panelled dining room, extensive library, 1960s style chapel and a full sized snooker table in the games room. A surprisingly peaceful location near central London.
