Towards the New Cross end of the Old Kent Road is Asylum Road named for a large complex, a building built in the classical style. This building used to house the Licensed Victualler’s Asylum. I have often wondered what the criteria were for admittance. Anyone want to post a polite suggestion? Please do :-) More stories of asylums and other stuff related to them in the Branch Magazine of the Central London Branch on their website www.cwucentrallondon.org.uk May 2004 issue
