Managed to find our way in through some pretty serious security. :smile

A bit of info lifted from wiki...

The buildings were originally built in 1848-49 as a workhouse, for the Board of Guardians of the City of London Union. It became an infirmary for the CLU in 1874, and in 1912 the Bow Institution for the long-term sick. In 1936 it became a psychiatric unit, under the St Clements name again. It became part of the London Hospital in 1968 and went through various organisational changes until closure in 2005. Services were transferred to a new Adult Mental Health Facility at Mile End Hospital in October 2005.

The site is now owned by the Homes & Communities Agency, who intend to create 275 new dwellings on the site. Local campaigners are advocating that it become the site of the UK's first urban Community Land Trust.

Not the best pics, again, need to get myself a camera instead of my phone. The basement of this place was like something out of a horror movie.
