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:
“The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail—its roof may shake—the wind may blow through it—the storm may enter—the rain may enter—but the King of England cannot enter!—all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!”
—William Pitt, The Elder, Lord Chatham (1708–1778)
