A civic university at the heart of London

King’s Vision 2029 sets out our ambition to be a civic university at the heart of London, working in partnership to contribute to the success of the city in which we make our home. We recognise the contribution that London makes to King’s: its diversity, people, opportunities, agencies and institutions create a living classroom and an active laboratory. 

Through London, students can connect learning with real-world challenges while developing new insights, networks and skills. 

By drawing on the lived experience of Londoners as partners in the co-creation of new knowledge, King’s researchers can develop life-changing ideas with local impact and global relevance. 

And by collaborating with London’s businesses, policymakers, universities and further education institutions, and deepening our connections with our home boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark and Westminster, we can generate knowledge that benefits our local and global communities.
