King's College London

King's College London in London is the largest college in the federal University of London, with 21,500 registered students. King's was so named to indicate the patronage of King George IV.

Campuses

King's began on a site adjacent to Somerset House in the Strand, still in use and still organized around the original building; the university has spread to several other campuses as well, including the Guy's campus near London Bridge; the St. Thomas' campus facing the Houses of Parliament across the Thames; Waterloo campus across from the BFI London Imax; the Hampstead Halls campus, formerly the site of Westfield College, since merged with Queen Mary and the Denmark Hill campus in south London. The current institution is the product of the merger of King's with a number of other institutions over the years, including Queen Elizabeth College, Chelsea College, the Institute of Psychiatry, and the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals.
