Quintin Hogg also served as alderman of the first London County Council, encouraging the founding of other polytechnics, or, as they were known then, working men's (or mechanics') institutes.

He married Alice Anna Graham, daughter of William Graham, on 16 May 1871 in the St George Hanover Square area. They had three sons and two daughters:

  • Douglas Hogg, 1st Viscount Hailsham (1872–1950)
  • Elsie Florence Hogg (1873- ? ), married Vincent Robertson Hoare (1873–1915)
  • Ian Graham Hogg (1875–1914), lieutenant colonel, died September 1914 of wounds.
  • Ethel Mary Hogg (1876–1970), married Herbert Frederick Wood. She wrote a biography of her father as Ethel M. Wood;
  • Malcolm Nicholson Hogg (1883–1948)

Hogg was the grandfather of Quintin Hogg, Baron Hailsham of St Marylebone.

He died in 1903.

Aside from the university, Hogg is commemorated by a Caribbean island (Hogg Island in Guyana), a sports team (Middlesex league QUINTIN Rugby Football Club), the statue depicted above, and a Blue Plaque on the house he occupied for many years, which abuts the university but faces onto Cavendish Square.
