On a recent trip to London with Humpa, raisinwing and dweeb we decided to swing by Springfield just to see what it looked like currently really. Turns out we timed the trip pretty well as a big chunk of the left hand side of the hospital had closed about a week prior. This section of the building was most recently the South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust Headquarters who have been having a phased move into the new ‘Trinity’ building behind the former asylum.
There were a few ‘disused’ older sections but mainly it was modernised office spaces, although the bones of the asylum could be seen hiding behind it all with individual seclusion rooms repurposed as tiny offices and bigger wards kitted out with desks, etc.
Seems strange they removed the fountain, path and trees!
What we were greeted by upon entering

Repurposed wards
Did I mention how incredibly hot it was in the officey bits?
A few shots from some disused sections. Apparently I didn't really take many in these bits.
One of the towers contained the hospital radio. It was pretty empty apart from a stray wheelchair.
Dunno if any London folk have already been poking about in here, be interested to see if we missed anything. Basement level looked like they could be of interest?
