A civic university at the heart of London

King’s Vision 2029 sets out our ambition to make the world a better place through education, research and service, building on our strong foundation as a university that is of London, for the world.

By the time we reach our 200th anniversary, we aim to be regarded globally as a civic university at the heart of London, working in partnership to contribute to the success of the city in which we create our home.

This means close collaboration with London’s businesses, policymakers, universities and further education institutions, as well as with the communities in our home boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark and Westminster. And it means connecting the global to the local, extending the reach and benefits of problem solving to generate knowledge that benefits London and the world.

 

King's Civic Charter sets out our commitment to London

King's College London will:
  • Contribute to the vibrant and thriving communities of which we are a part: listening, sharing information and identifying opportunities for partnership 
  • Respect the lived experience of our communities, seeking ways in which we can work together to generate knowledge that contributes to the health and success of our home boroughs and the people who live and work in them
  • Welcome our communities to take part in activities across our campuses
  • Support our communities in challenging disadvantage and inequality through research, teaching and service activities in collaboration with residents, local authorities, schools, businesses, civil society organisations and community groups.

Working with, for and in the city in which we make our home
