This mansion in Kings Langley in Hertfordshire, England, looks like it was abandoned several years ago but it remains eerily well-preserved. Recently, an urban explorer who doesn’t want to disclose their name visited the mysterious estate and came back with a series of haunting photos, documenting all the mansion’s hidden treasures.

It looks as though its former occupants left hastily, maybe even in the middle of the night. A watch stuck in time lies untouched on a bedside table while designer clothes are still stacked up on rails in a bedroom. And [they] must have had some cash as the threads are by labels including Yves St Laurent, Gucci and Louis Vuitton.
