About Imperial College
Imperial College has the largest operational estate of any university
institution in the country, including seven central and west London
campuses: South Kensington, Charing Cross, Hammersmith, Royal Brompton,
Chelsea and Westminster, Northwick Park and St Mary’s. It also has two campuses in South-East England: at Silwood Park,
near Ascot in Berkshire and at Wye, near Ashford in Kent.
Imperial College was established in 1907 in London's scientific and cultural
heartland in South Kensington, as a merger of the Royal College of Science,
the City and Guilds College and the Royal School of Mines. St Mary's
Hospital Medical School and the National Heart and Lung Institute merged
with the College in 1988 and 1995 respectively.
Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School and the Royal Postgraduate
Medical School merged with the College on 1 August 1997 to form, with the
existing departments on the St Mary's and Royal Brompton campuses, the
Imperial College Faculty of Medicine.
On 1 August 2000 Wye College and the The Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology
merged with the College. The Kennedy Institute became a Division of the
Faculty of Medicine and Wye College is now known as Imperial College Wye
campus.
