Queen Elizabeth College had its origins in the Ladies' (later Women's) Department of King's College London, opened in Kensington in 1885, later King's College for Women. Home Science and Economics classes started in 1908. In 1915 the Household and Social Science Department of King's College for Women opened at Campden Hill, Kensington, while other departments were amalgamated with King's College on the Strand site. In 1928 the department became completely independent as King's College of Household and Social Science and the title King's College for Women was extinguished. The buildings were completed in 1930. The College had a pioneering role in establishing nutritional science as a subject of academic scholarship and John Yudkin was a Professor from 1945 to 1971. A Royal Charter was granted in 1953, the name changed to Queen Elizabeth College, men were admitted, and the existing degree was replaced with BSc (Nutrition) and BSc (Household Science). Recognition as a School of the University of London in the Faculty of Science was granted in 1956. The BSc (General) began in 1957. Following financial difficulties the amalgamation of the College with King's College London and Chelsea College was completed in 1985.

Records from Queen Elizabeth College were transferred to King's College London after 1985.
