King's Merger
QEC re-merged with King's College London in 1985, and the "Kensington campus" became associated with biomedical sciences. However, the campus was closed and sold in 2000 with the contents being decanted to the Franklin-Wilkins Building, on Stamford Street near Waterloo Station. Part of the campus has subsequently been converted into high-quality apartments which retain some QEC branding.

Famous quotes containing the word king:
“Do we call this the land of the free? What is it to be free from King George and continue the slaves of King Prejudice? What is it to be born free and not to live free? What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom? Is it a freedom to be slaves, or a freedom to be free, of which we boast?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
