The Heritage Park housing development occupies the 28 acre site of the institution built by the Metropolitan Asylums Board as Tooting Bec Asylum, later known as Tooting Bec Hospital. The hospital closed in 1995 and the buildings were demolished between 1996 and 1998. Some of the original boundary walls remain to the south and west. The original asylum railings on the north side facing Tooting Graveney Common were preserved.
The grassed area immediately south of the railings is legally part of the Common, having been inadvertently enclosed when the asylum was constructed.
