London Stories brings together rich and varied examples of King’s staff and students who are working side-by-side with the capital, its organisations and its people to fulfil our role as a civic university at the heart of London.

The latest edition, London Stories 2020, is now live and includes examples of teaching, research and community partnerships from across the university and within every faculty. Examples featured range from King’s students creating change in their local communities through the award-winning Civic Leadership Academy, to pioneering research into sickle cell disease that’s made possible by our local patient communities and healthcare partners across the city.

The publication of London Stories, originally planned for March 2020, was paused while the university focused its collective efforts on meeting the challenges of COVID-19 and supporting London in a time of crisis.

Some of the projects featured have been put on hold until they can operate safely, while many others have transitioned online. The publication also includes examples of how King’s people are responding to the pandemic and, in doing so, living out our commitment to the city around us.

King’s Vision 2029 sets out the university’s commitment to London and our three home boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark and Westminster.  London Stories demonstrates what this means in practice, illustrating that through successful partnerships, King’s can have a transformative impact on the capital and the communities who live and work within it.
