The Maudsley Hospital in Denmark Hill. The Maudsley Hospital in Denmark Hill, Camberwell, South London is unique as a psychiatric hospital in that it was always intended to be a centre of treatment and research rather than confinement and "asylum". The South London and Maudsley NHS foundation trust is a provider of mental health and substance misuse services in Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark; substance misuse services in Bexley, Greenwich and Bromley; and specialist services for people from across the It is also a provider of the most extensive portfolio of mental health services in the United Kingdom, the largest mental health training institution in the country and a world leader in research, working in partnership with the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London. In 1907, Dr Henry Maudsley collaborated with London County Council to found the Maudsley Hospital by donating £30,000, a new mental hospital that would treat early and acute cases, and have an out-patients clinic. The hospital also housed teaching and research. The buildings were ready in 1915, and a new Act of Parliament made voluntary treatment possible. In 1948, the hospital merged with Bethlem Royal Hospital.
