So I didn't get much time to research this place as it was a last minute thing, my friend was doing a photo shoot at this place for his friend who was setting up a clothing website so I tagged along to help. Got lost for the first half hour trying to find the place, finding out the hospital grounds where heavily demolished and was a housing estate but long story short there are three large buildings remaining.

Wiki Excert:
It was founded as the second, or East, Kent County Asylum in 1872. In 1948 the hospital became part of the National Health Service and was renamed St Augustine's Hospital. The hospital gained notoriety in the 1970s when it was the subject of a committee of inquiry into malpractice and mismanagement. St Augustine's Hospital closed in 1993 and the site is now occupied by housing, although a few of the original hospital buildings remain.

All taken with my new Canon 24-105 L lense <3

This place was a maze I got disoriented with the hallways.
