Bedlam was the Bethleham Hospital formerly on the present site of Liverpool Street Station (no change there!). Maudlin or Maudsley was the female counterpart named after Mary Magdalen. The two were eventually merged and moved out to the countryside (Walworth) in the building that now houses the Imperial War Museum (no change there!).
