Based in the heart of London's East End, Queen Mary's main campus is in Mile End with offshoots in Whitechapel, Holborn, and Smithfield. The campus is well served with tube and bus routes and the onsite accommodation offers canal-side living and views down to Canary Wharf.
Background and History
Queen Mary is the result of many mergers of smaller colleges over the years and can trace it routes back to the mid-Victorian period when there was a desire to improve the lives of those living in London's East End. Queen Mary College, Westfield College, St. Bartholomew's Medical College and the London Hospital Medical College have all merged to form Queen Mary which became part of the University of London in 1915.
Location and Accessibility
By Rail: The nearest tube station is Mile End on the District, Hammersmith and City and Central lines. Connections to the national rail network are available at Liverpool Street station, which is also on the Central line.
By Road: Queen Mary is outside the congestion charging zone so less of a hassle to visit by car than some other London universities, although driving is still not advisable due to traffic and parking issues. Numerous buses are available that go along Mile End Road and stop at the university.
