And the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth is in the building that used to be Bedlam.

I lived near there in the 70s. It was Purdown mental hospital then. We used to have to go for school country runs though that field in the picture...

...only it was the middle of winter and the field would be three foot deep in freezing cold water full of cowpats. It was like something out of Scum. Mind you, everything about school in the 70s was like something out of Scum, so I don't know what my point is really.
