Brief history
K
ING’S COLLEGE LONDON was founded by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington in 1829. When the University of London was established in 1836, King’s became one of its two founding colleges. The College has grown and developed through many mergers, including those with the King’s College Hospital Medical School in 1983; with Chelsea and Queen Elizabeth Colleges in 1985; with the Institute of Psychiatry in 1997; and with the United Medical & Dental Schools of Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospitals in 1998. These mergers have brought institutions with their own distinguished reputations and traditions into King’s. The Institute of Psychiatry is closely associated with the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust which includes the famous Bethlem Hospital dating from the 13th century. The original King’s College School of Medicine was founded in 1831, while St Thomas’ Hospital dates from the 12th century, and medicine has been formally taught there since the 16th century and at Guy’s since the Hospital’s foundation in the early 18th century. The Florence Nightingale School of Nursing & Midwifery is directly descended from the world’s ƪUVW SURIHVVLRQDO VFKRRO RI QXUVLQJ IRXQGHG E\ )ORUHQFH Nightingale at St Thomas’ in 1860. Since 1996 academics from King’s Defence Studies Department have provided education and training at the Joint Services Command and 6WDƊ &ROOHJH DW 6KULYHQKDP :LOWVKLUH :KLOH UHPDLQLQJ SDUW RI WKH 8QLYHUVLW\ RI /RQGRQ .LQJśV KDV HQMR\HG ƪQDQFLDO DQG academic autonomy since 1994.

ING’S HAS FOUR Thames-side campuses within a
single square mile in the heart of London, together with the Institute of Psychiatry and some biomedical research and teaching at the Denmark Hill Campus in south London. King’s uses its location in central and south London to build and consolidate partnerships with many cultural, professional and political institutions, businesses and local communities. King’s acquisition of the East Wing of historic Somerset House in 2009 extends the College’s Strand Campus into one of London’s most beautiful and important EXLOGLQJV DQG IXOƪOOV D KRSH QXUVHG E\ WKH College ever since its foundation in 1829.
