University of London

The University of London is a university based primarily in London. It is the second-largest university in the United Kingdom. It was established by the Royal Charter in 1836. A federal mega university of 31 affiliates, 19 colleges and 12 institutes, the university owns an estate of 160 buildings centered in central London. Each building is architectural brilliance. Some modeled after Greek and Roman influences such as the Parthenon, others are uniquely English in design, and some are conservatively modern. Lush green lawns are dotted with trees and artfully placed landscaping. All of these elements combine to convey honor, distinction, and power.
