London
Queen Mary has a long, proud and distinctive history built on four historic
institutions stretching back to 1785 and beyond. Our founding institutions are:
St Bartholomew’s Hospital Medical College, London Hospital Medical College,
Westfield College and Queen Mary College. All four institutions were founded to
improve the lives of people with less privilege. St Bartholomew’s Hospital
Medical College and The London Hospital Medical College were established to
improve the health of the local communities in the City and east London.
Westfield College and Queen Mary College provided education to women and working
class communities in the East End, respectively, at a time when these groups
faced extreme barriers to education.
