So kids safely at nursery we set off to West Park. A place I had read about extensively and longed to go to and it's kind of local.
Drive straight onto site, past MC Hammer in his hut (he's the security guy, thus called because he carries a hammer on his rounds to board up entry points and maybe even for his saftey or intimidation) park up in car park 5 and head down the outside corridoor.
Find a lot of odds and sods, like abandoned chairs
The water tower
sadly taken through a fence. Water towers at hospitals are always spectacular objects and some Urbexers climb them. I wouldn't given i'm not that sure of heights or any cop at climbing.
West Park also has wild deer running through the ground which are a source of either amusement or the need for a change of pants. They can catch you very unawares, especially when you are somewhere you shouldn't be. Its not illegal to take photos of such a building from outside the security fence, it goes that way if it's MOD. But security don't like it. It only becomes illegal if you tresspass but tresspass is a civil law so the ground is still shaky for the powers that be. Not that I condone tresspass.
So we come accross a 'villa' and an open door which I can't open. Mr Ant obliges with a shove and I step inside. Found a not-smashed-to-fuck toilet, peeling wallpaper, mildew curtains and this wonderful fella
shame I can't play....
It becomes apparent that this really isn't floating Mr Ant's boat so we head off to Heathrow to look at the planes. Not really my idea of fun but I did take a few pics and also got to see some hardcore horse porn.

Only when I got home and looked online did I realise we only ever saw a very small portion of West Park.
