Reasons to go
Full description
The Castle Climbing Centre occupies a genuine 19th-century pumping station in Stoke Newington, its castellated brick exterior giving the gym an unusually dramatic setting for indoor climbing. Spread across four floors, it offers a wide range of routes from bouldering to roped climbing, and reviewers frequently mention the welcoming community atmosphere alongside the variety on offer.
It functions as a serious training venue for regular climbers as much as a one-off activity for visitors. The building's history adds character that's rare among climbing gyms.

Wow what an amazing time I’ve had here! The best rock climbing gym of all time! I truly believe anybody who comes here would love rock climbing so much they would have the best experience ever, and if you’re travelling from far make sure to go to the outdoor area! My favourite of the gym. Thank you so much for having…
