Kingsley Green is a mental health and learning disability site located in Hertfordshire, England, just southeast of the village of London Colney.
Located on Harper Lane, Shenley, the facility was known as Harperbury Hospital for 61 years and has been a fixture of the area's mental health scene since 1928. It had two sister institutions, Shenley Hospital and Napsbury Hospital, within a few miles of its location.[1] A scaling down process began in the 1970s, and resulted in many of the old hospital's buildings becoming abandoned. By late 2001 Harperbury had only about 200 patients and the hospital was officially closed.
The new Kingsley Green mental health facility opened on the site in May 2009.
