Holloway Sanatorium was an institution for the treatment of those suffering mental illness, situated in Virginia Water, west of London. The sanatorium itself was closed in December 1980, but its largest buildings have been restored for modern apartments now called Virginia Park.
The main building was used in numerous movies and TV series as well as music videos. Among them: The Cure with Charlotte Sometimes, Ozzy Osbourne with Bark At The Moon, Bonnie Tyler with Total Eclipse Of The Heart, and Alphaville with Forever Young.
