About

Basic information and contact details for London Metropolitan University

institution

London Metropolitan University (LMU) was formed in 2002 from the merger of the University of North London and London Guildhall University.

LMU has invested heavily in its facilities, and now owns several state-of-the-art research centres. The university’s “superlab” has more than 280 workstations, with additional specialist laboratories for fields including sport science, phlebotomy and virology. Media students have the opportunity to work in a newsroom with its own radio station, while law students have access to a mock courtroom.

The university’s main campus is in Holloway, in North London, where the faculties of sciences and computing, social sciences and humanities and business and management are located. This area is 10 minutes from central London by public transport. Arsenal Football Club’s Emirates Stadium can be seen from LMU’s faculty, making it a great location for football fans.

Art, design and architecture students are based at the faculty in east London - a hub for brand name and independent designers, with the trendy markets and cafes of Shoreditch on its doorstep.

LMU’s most famous alumni include the comedian Vic Reeves, singer Alison Moyet and footballer Garth Crooks. A number of prominent politicians studied at the university, such as the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan and former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
