King's College London was established by Royal Charter in 1829 by patrons wishing to challenge both the supremacy of Oxford and Cambridge and the explicit secularism of the new University College London founded just three years prior. Today it is the second largest college of the 50 federated institutions that comprise the University of London. From its inception, academic innovation and excellence were at the heart of King's, and its modern record is a testament to its success in attaining that foundational goal. King's three main campuses are ideally situated within a single square mile of Central London. From this central locale, students are within walking distance to Covent Garden, with its brimming market streets lined with street performers, and the theatre district surrounding Trafalgar Square. King's combination of intellectual distinction and optimal location offer study abroad students the opportunity to expand their boundaries both academically and socially.
