Putney Hospital closed in 1998 and has remained vacant since. Wandsworth Council plan to demo most of it to make way for a new primary school, to be financed by also building 24 flats on the north end of the site.
I figured I'd pay a visit before the wrecking ball arrives...
It's had a few visitors recently so I thought access shouldn't prove too tricky. Sure enough it didn't take long to find an entrance. Not long in and I hear secca on his rounds, whistling a happy tune. Few minutes later I hear him at the access point, so take a peek and he's hammering the 'door' shut. Deciding it's not a day for hide and seek I make my way downstairs and stroll out the opposite side of the building, just as he walks round the corner! Give him credit, he just carried on whistling his tune and never missed a note while I made for the fence and a rather ungainly exit.
The basement is dark, wet and generally unpleasant...
Thanks for looking
