	Lambeth Asylum was designed by the architect Arthur Hayes, his first and only project, in 1850.

With the assistance of [[Charles Darwin]], the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Jacob Frye]] discovered that one of the institution's [[doctor]]s, [[John Elliotson]], was a Templar and was distributing the drug [[Starrick's Soothing Syrup]] to the asylum's patients. Jacob subsequently infiltrated the hospital to assassinate Elliotson and end the distribution of the syrup.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[Overdose]]</ref>
