History
The present College was formed in 1989 by the merger of Queen Mary and Westfield Colleges by Act of Parliament. In the same year pre-clinical students from St. Bartholomew's Medical College and The London Hospital Medical College were taught for the first time. In 1995 the creation of St. Bartholomew's and The Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry brought clinical medical teaching to the College. The nucleus of the College site is that of the People's Palace, predecessor of Queen Mary College, which has been extensively developed especially following the merger in 1989. The present day Queen Mary is the fourth largest college in the University of London.
