A Campus at the Core of Culture
KCL is spread across five distinct campuses in central London, each brimming with its unique character and academic prowess.
Strand Campus: A Historic Epicenter
The Strand Campus, with its iconic Grade I-listed King’s Building, forms the cornerstone of the university’s rich legacy. This historic building, designed by Sir Robert Smirke in 1831, resonates with timeless architectural splendor. From the Chapel of King's, revamped by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1864, to the modern touches of Bush House, the Strand Campus harmonizes tradition and contemporary education.
This campus is a hub for the arts, humanities, law, and natural sciences, making it a vibrant center of cultural and academic exchange. Located minutes away from the Temple Underground Station, it thrives at the heart of London's cultural landscape.
Guy’s Campus: A Legacy in Medicine
Guy’s Campus, adjacent to London Bridge, serves as a pivotal base for the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine. Home to the renowned Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience, this campus seamlessly merges medical excellence with historical architecture, such as the Hodgkin Building and Shepherd's House.

One iconic figure uniting students is "Reggie the Lion," KCLSU’s official mascot, seen in its many forms, including the celebrated papier-mâché version outside the Great Hall.
Award-Winning Student Media
King’s boasts an exceptional student media presence.
