Yes, it's another Battersea report! Well it had to be done really, I've put it off long enough, what with stories of ruthless security and a guaranteed night in the cells if you got caught, the place being like a maze if you didn't know it well, the chances of actually getting across...

I visited this place last year when I was trying to see as many asylums as possible before they were knocked down or converted.
I must have got to this one just in time, as last time I visited there were people living in it.

Visited this site with OliverGT - big thanks to him for getting in contact with me.
This was my second attempt, but first successful visit. What an amazing place, I am so glad I've seen it. Pictures just don't do it justice.
