Entrance to Repton Park
Repton Park was named after Humphry Repton, the last great English landscape designer of the 18th century. He advised on landscaping the parkland of the Claybury estate which was developed into a fine gentleman's estate from 1786 by James Hatch. Hatch built a new mansion, expanded the estate and it was he who commissioned Humphry Repton. In 1887 the estate was sold and Claybury Asylum was built by 1893 on the brow of a hill, the first mental hospital built by the new London County Council. From 1893 to 1918 it was called Claybury Asylum, from 1918 to 1937 Claybury Mental Hospital, and from 1937 to its closure in 1995 Claybury Hospital
In 1997 the Health Authority sold the Hospital estate for an exclusive private housing development, renamed Repton Park, but 18 hectares of ancient woodland and 38 hectares of parkland became part of a new public park, Claybury Park. This also incorporated Redbridge Open Space to the south, itself part of the Claybury estate until the 1880s.

Entrance Drive, Repton Park Executive Housing
The former Claybury Mental Hospital was originally Dr Barnardo's first Children's Home and is now converted to an executive housing gated community and re-named Repton Park (evidently after the landscape gardener Humphrey Repton, although he had no connection with the area).
