OUR CAMPUSES While Imperial’s main campus is located in South
Silwood Park
Silwood Park is located about 25 miles West of Central London, near the village of Sunninghill in Ascot, Berkshire. Situated in about 100ha of natural parkland, it has been part of Imperial College since 1947. It was first famous as a centre for applied entomology before developing a world-wide reputation as a centre for excellence in pure and applied ecology. Since the 1990s research interests have expanded to include evolution, biodiversity and conservation.
Kensington, it has six other locations in London based at Charing Cross, Chelsea & Westminster, Hammersmith, Northwick Park, the Royal Brompton, St Mary’s Hospital as well as cutting-edge research facilities at our White City Campus. The College also has the Silwood Park Campus near Ascot, focusing on ecology, evolution and conservation.

South Kensington
Faculty of Medicine
South Kensington is our main campus and it is here that most undergraduate and postgraduate activity takes place. It’s a compact site in the heart of ‘Albertopolis’ and is home to a huge range of architectural styles from the Edwardian Royal School of Mines building to the ultra-modern Norman Foster-designed Business School. There’s plenty of green space too, including a beautiful landscaped square, with our famous Queen’s Tower at one end. The history behind the monument can be viewed at Queen’s Tower.
The Faculty of Medicine occupies approximately 58,000 sq.m of space
which includes a diverse mixture of highly specialised laboratories, office spaces and teaching facilities. The footprint is distributed across c.35 buildings at the White City and South Kensington campuses, and at the Hammersmith, St Mary’s, Charing Cross, Chelsea and Westminster and Royal Brompton hospital campuses. The faculty’s interaction with its partner NHS trusts is critical for the delivery of many of its education and research outputs; in addition to occupying College owned buildings, a significant proportion of the faculty’s footprint is embedded within NHS trust owned buildings. As a result, working effectively with NHS counterparts is crucial to maintaining the Faculty of Medicine estate and successfully completing capital projects in non- College owned buildings.
