Our Lady’s Hospital, Lee RoadThis nineteenth-century mental asylum looming over the city may have largely been converted into flats, but you can still go and see the sections that have been deemed too dangerous to develop.

Try it!St. Kevin’s Hospital, Lee RoadWhile this place is thoroughly secured these days, it is still worth going up for a look. I was lucky enough to get in there a few years ago.
