Our activity and hosting instructors are first trained, and the night call team to offer support through the night. All of our accommodation is single story and several of our dormitories have ramp access. One in particular has facilities which cater for individuals with disabilities, and groups are advised to visit to see if they need to hire additional equipment such as a hoist and all terrain wheel chair to access our woodland activities.
Our paths at the heart of site are easily accessible, along with some of our activities. Yes Sayers Croft believes everyone should have the right to outdoor experiences, and advise leaders to contact us to discuss how we can best meet the needs of all the individuals in their group.
Sayers Croft has been providing safe, fun and educational residential and day visits for schools and community groups, any age and ability, for over 70 years. We have 56 acres of woodland, meadows, fields, ponds and streams.

The blueprint of the camp huts was designed by the Scottish architect T. Each camp was to be made of essentially the same components, but would be configured in slightly different ways depending on the physical constraints of the site. Flexibility and speed were therefore essential; Tait designed a prefabricated system which allowed parts to be transported and constructed quickly and easily, with prefab wall units of Canadian red cedar boarding erected directly onto the floor joists.
These lie on a foundation of concrete posts cast in-situ which allows good air flow beneath the huts, thereby preventing damp. Roofs are covered in cedar shingles.
Many of the huts have covered entrance porches with inbuilt wooden seats and coat pegs, and multi-paned hinge windows retain their solid black-out shutters. As well as these huts, Sayers Croft has a steel and timber water tower, an Anderson shelter and several air raid shelters one recently excavated which survive in excellent condition.
Throughout the war years Sayers Croft was home to boys who predominantly came from two schools in East London — Catford Central and Brownhill Road, although as the war continued boys from other schools were accommodated. The camp was first occupied on Wednesday 15th May with the boys moving from their temporary billets in Ashford Kent.
At the end of the war when it was safe for the boys to return home, Sayers Croft continued to host contingents of Dutch children between October and June , flown over from the recently liberated Netherlands to receive medical attention and to recuperate from the deprivations to which they had been subjected under Nazi occupation.
Then from the Centre was run by the National Camps Corporation and provided opportunities for city children to experience the countryside. In ownership passed to the LCC and was run for many years by the Inner London Education Authority until , when ownership passed to Westminster City Council who retain the site today.
