Derelict wards at West Park Hospital
Image: © Dan Gregory Taken: 4 Oct 2009
West Park Hospital began life as a large psychiatric institution opened in 1924 to house London's insane. Although the buildings and grounds take up most of the central area of this grid square, only a handful are now in use, the rest having closed in the 1990s-2000s. Most of the wards are now standing derelict.
