Address and Location
The University of West London is spread across three sites in Ealing, Brentford and a small healthcare unit in Berkshire. A fourth site in Reading has recently been closed pending future redevelopment. Those in Ealing and Brentford house the majority of the university's academic departments and facilities.
ÂBackground and History
UWL started life in 1860 as the Lady Byron School. A series of mergers and expansions led to the college being named West London Polytechnic, then Thames Valley University after 1992. In 2011 the institution changed its name once more to reflect its renewed presence in Ealing and Brentford.
Location and Accessibility
By Rail: Both London sites are accessible via Ealing Broadway, Ealing Common and South Ealing Tube stations. National rail services are also available from Ealing Broadway.
By Road: Both London campuses are close to the M4, meaning the university is exceptionally car-friendly compared to the majority of HE institutions in London.
Accessibility: Most university facilities are wheelchair-accessible and accommodation is provided for students with disabilities.
