The main front of Bethlem Royal Hospital, London, 1926. This hospital is the oldest institution for the care and confinement of the mentally ill in England, and one of the oldest in Europe. It was a priory in 1247, and c1400 the building was converted to its later usage. The hospital moved in 1675, in 1815, and to its present location near Croydon in 1930. The word bedlam, which is derived from the hospital's name, has long been applied to any place or scene of wild turmoil and confusion. Presently, Bethlem Royal Hospital is connected with the University of London's Institute of Psychiatry, and is part of the Maudsley Hospital. © The London Archives (City of London)/Heritage Images
