- Chelsea College of Science and Technology
-
Chelsea College of Science and Technology was established as a College of Advanced Technology on a single site on the corner of Manresa Road and King's Road, Chelsea, London as part of the University of London in 1966 and was granted its Royal Charter in 1971.
History
The site on Manresa Road had been earmarked for the college as early as 1890[1] and was opened as South West Polytechnic in 1895[2] and became the Chelsea Polytechnic in 1922[2]. By 1965 Parliament was considering a move of the College to St Albans in Hertfordshire [3].
In 1985 the college merged with nearby Queen Elizabeth College and soon thereafter the merged college was itself amalgamated into Kings College.
