20 Scary Images of the Creepiest Asylum Ever Built

Cane Hill Asylum – Croydon, London

It is a psychiatric hospital owned by GLA Land and Property. By the late 1980’s the number of patients had greatly declined due to the recommendation of The Mental Health Act (1983) with its emphasis on care in the community. The entire hospital with the exception of a small secure unit had closed by late 1991. The demolition of Cane Hill started in March 2008 and was completed by the end of 2010. Only the chapel, administration building and water tower remained.
