Parts of Cane Hill Hospital in Coulsdon were left gutted by an arson attack last Saturday morning.
The first, second and third floors of five derelict hospital buildings were damaged by the fire, which started at about 8am.
Forty-three fire engines from 11 fire brigades, as far as Old Kent Road, came to tackle the blaze, which took nearly six hours to extinguish, pictured above.
Crews worked in shifts throughout Saturday and Sunday to damp down the scene.
