Derelict wards at West Park Hospital
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.

Demolition at West Park Hospital
The old mental hospital occupied a substantial acreage, but the majority of the buildings had been demolished by the time this shot was taken. Most were two-storey red-brick structures dating from the 1920's or '30's. entirely institutional in style. The structure seen here is marked on the map as a chimney. To me it looks like the sort of tower which was once characteristic of old-fashioned laundries.
The bench in the foreground stands outside the Meadows Day Clinic, which offers monitoring and support for patients with dementia. I remember sitting here one summer's day a few years ago with my late step-father, then in his nineties.
The hospital site is currently being redeveloped for housing. Some of the old red-brick ward buildings will be retained and converted, but much of the area will be covered by 'new-build'.

Corridor, West Park Hospital
The last great psychiatric hospital to be built in the UK, West Park Hospital was part of the Epsom Cluster that consisted of 5 similar institutions located near Epsom. The design consisted of a central group of larger buildings and a prominent water tower with long corridors radiating outwards to link outlying villas. The corridors in the picture have now been demolished but some buildings have been retained during the ongoing conversion of the site into a housing development.
