About Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine
Address and Location
The main Imperial campus is situated in South Kensington - London's Albertopolis', which includes the Natural History Museum and Royal Albert Hall. The college also has lecture halls and classrooms in Paddington, Chelsea and Hammersmith. Outside of the capital, Imperial has facilities in Wye, Kent and Ascot, Berkshire.Background and History
The foundation of the Wye campus dates back to 1447, while the university medical schools were opened in the mid-nineteenth century. Imperial College in its current form was created in 1907 by the merger of City and Guilds College, the Royal School of Mines and the Royal Science College. Although originally part of the University of London, Imperial became independent in 2007 and now awards its own degrees.Location and Accessibility
