Birch Selsdon

Swap concrete jungle for natural wilderness. Just 30 minutes south of London, and set within 200 acres of rolling hills and green space, you’ll find Birch (Selsdon).

 

Birch (Selsdon) is the great escape. Get the space to go slow, go wild, and go forward. Our intention? Revival. Yours. Ours. The land’s.

A space that bleeds green, stimulates connection, and sparks creativity. A pottery studio, screen printing workshop, and interactive kitchen to get creative in. Arcade and screening rooms to switch off in. A Lido, tennis court and The Wellness space with gym, yoga and spin studios and treatment rooms.
Two restaurants and three bars for feasts and flavours. Meeting spaces and communal areas for working hard or hardly working.

Rooms

 

Immediately comforting with a sunshine appeal. That’s the aim with our bedrooms. Expect soft peachy hues, burnt orange tones, and smooth oak detailing. Oh and big beds. Relaxed, warm, and more cosy than a candle-lit bath.
Each bedroom celebrates craft and nature, with bespoke artwork and wardrobes that are more like sculptures. Features we’re particularly proud of include a carbon- negative light cork floor, recycled linen curtains, wall lights encased in handblown recycled glass, and furniture made with wood from our grounds.
We have 180 bedrooms (Suite, Large, Medium, Double). Whichever bedroom you
bag, you’ll get an access-all-areas pass to everything we have on offer (including
free workouts).

 

Meetings & Events

 

Led by nature, and with endless views of our rewilding project, our meeting and
event spaces take you to a new world (despite only being a stone’s throw from
London). Eight event spaces – ranging from 10 to 200 capacity – are ready for company away- days, private dinners, big parties and secret celebrations. Retreat, reset and refresh with family, friends or colleagues.

And when you’re done there, dive into our bedrooms, pottery studio, workshop spaces, heated lido or Wellness Space with spin and yoga rooms. We can create a bespoke activity program for you and your guests. Just ask and we’ll answer.

Want an example? Dive into our monthly plant dye workshop to create a local seasonal colour palette. You’ll use materials grown and harvested from the surrounding landscape, or re-generated from kitchen waste.

Wellness

 

Birch (Selsdon) has your wellness – both mental and physical – at our heart.
In the gym you can lift our weights (and your endorphins), take a turn on the treadmill, box clever, stretch long, and work up a sweat in free daily classes.

A range of stress-busting and mood- boosting treatments and massages are
available. Some to help you look good and some to help you think good. All to help you feel good. Across our 200 acres we run a range of workshops focused on health and wellbeing. Sound baths, motivational talks, nature walks… This is Wellness 2.0. Taking care of mind, body, spirit, and soul.

Nature

 

We’re caretakers of over 200 acres of nature. What was once a golf course is
now one of London’s largest rewilding projects. A project that will revive the
land, biodiversity and nature. All of this creates an environment for guests
and members to escape to. By immersing themselves in nature, they get the space they need to flourish. Whether they’re coming to work with friends or stay with family. Walk in wound up. Walk out all loosey- goosey.

 

Lido

Opening this summer, we’ve given the Lido an Art Deco-inspired makeover and
added a yoga deck to keep it company. Expect colourful patterns, shapes and styles with an anti-traditional elegance. Get your bathers on. It’s time to dive back into the 1930s.

 

Our Food and Drink

 

Enjoy food that’s super seasonal, super tasty, and super duper. At Birch (Selsdon) we use our 200 acres to grow a lot of our own food, and sustain and use livestock for our kitchen. Two restaurants and three bars await. With the Michelin-starred chef Lee Westcott in charge of all things flavour. We have a signature restaurant for something a bit special, and an all-day dining affair with space to spare. Oh and there’s a private room for celebrations and secret hideaways.

 

What about the kids?

 

Outside you’ve got nature, animals, open spaces and the Lido. Inside you’ve got Birchlings – a kids club with arts, crafts and cabinets full of fun. Our activity schedule changes with the seasons, and school holidays, so there’s always plenty going on. Wander the woods and get hands dirty. Birch (Selsdon) is a playground for all.
