- The asylum opened in 1851, and was the largest asylum in Europe at the time. By the 1880s, public perception of Colney Hatch and its patients caused the words "Colney Hatch" to be used to refer to anything unusual or irrational. This is similar of how the Tanjung Rambutan in Malaysia, in which it's insane asylum, the Ulu Kinta Mental Hospital or Hospital Bahagia is situated. One such example was the scene involving Jadis, the former Empress of Charn, when she declared herself Empress, in The Magician's Nephew.
- Colney Hatch (/ˈkoʊnɪ ˈhætʃ/ is the historical name for a small district within the London Borough of Barnet in London. The name Colney Hatch was originally that of a hamlet in the parish of Friern (once spelt Fryern) Barnet, first recorded in the early 15th century. It became well known from the mid-19th century following the building of Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, which gained such notoriety that the name "Colney Hatch" appeared in various terms of abuse associated with the concept of madness.
