Not much to say history wise as we all know The Royal London’s history, Elephant man, jack the ripper, new hospital, derelict old one etc….
So this was a little different
Whilst checking out the actual hospital, I missed seeing the chapel, I was reminded again on seeing it that the Outpatients Department was boarded up and had recentish hoarding around it. It’s a nice looking building so I thought I would take a better look.
I wasn’t really expecting anything special but was pleasantly surprised by the main entrance hall
It was obvious on closer inspection that this had been massively modernised and all of the old building was nicely hidden behind in all. Judging from the audit paperwork attached to a lot of the rooms, it closed around 2013/14.
So I started having a wander around, slowly finding more and more to get excited about. It looks like at some point it’s had squatters or junkies inside as a lot of doors are broken off and there’s a few sharps bins knocking around.
Sadly the lift was out of action.
I found the Audiology department, now this was pretty ace, with a couple of soundproof rooms for testing hearing, and a small fairly untouched ward. The signage in here was awesome.
