Brief history

KINGS COLLEGE LONDON was founded by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington in 1829. When the University of London was established in 1836, Kings became one of its two founding colleges. The College has grown and developed through many mergers, including those with the Kings College Hospital Medical School in 1983; with Chelsea and Queen Elizabeth Colleges in 1985; with the Institute of Psychiatry in 1997; and with the United Medical & Dental Schools of Guys & St Thomas Hospitals in 1998. These mergers have brought institutions with their own distinguished reputations and traditions into Kings. The Institute of Psychiatry is closely associated with the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust which includes the famous Bethlem Hospital dating from the 13th century. The original Kings College School of Medicine was founded in 1831, while St Thomas Hospital dates from the 12th century, and medicine has been formally taught there since the 16th century and at Guys since the Hospitals foundation in the early 18th century. The Florence Nightingale School of Nursing & Midwifery is directly descended from the worlds UVWSURIHVVLRQDOVFKRRORIQXUVLQJIRXQGHGE\)ORUHQFHNightingale at St Thomas in 1860.
