London Metropolitan University

The London Metropolitan University, or simply London Met, is a public research university located in London, England. It is often usually referred to by its abbreviated name. The Institution of North London and London Guildhall University, both previously known as the City of London Polytechnic, amalgamated in 2002 to become the current university. The University of North London was once known as the Polytechnic of North London. The year 1848 marks the beginning of the University's history.

In addition to campuses in the City of London and in the London Borough of Islington, the institution also has a museum, archival collections, and library facilities. The TUC Library, the Irish Studies Collection, and the Frederick Parker Collection are examples of unique collections that may be found here.

The University of North London and London Guildhall University merged to become London Metropolitan University on August 1, 2002. This event marked the beginning of London Metropolitan University. In October 2006, the University opened a new Science Centre at the North campus on Holloway Road as part of an investment of £30 million in its science department. The new Science Centre features a "Super Lab," which is claimed to be one of Europe's most advanced science teaching facilities, and 280 workstations equipped with digital audio visual interactive equipment.
