Established as the Borough Polytechnic Institute in 1892, the original aim of London South Bank University (LSBU) was 'to promote the industrial skill, general knowledge, health and well-being of young men and women', which remains remarkably similar today. Our continuous focus on vocational education and professional opportunity allows us to produce graduates who can meet the challenges of today's workplace.
London South Bank University is one of London's largest and oldest universities Since 1892, we've been providing vocationally-relevant, accredited and professionally recognised education. The University Archives Centre curates LSBU's history – preserving photographs, documents, academic material and landmarks from its foundation in 1892 to the present day.
