The grand portico of University College London, Gower Street, Bloomsbury, London, UK.
The University College London was founded in 1826 by a committee of liberal thinkers amongst whom James Mill, Jeremy Bentham and Henry Brougham were prominent. It was intended especially for those debarred from Oxford and Cambridge by reason of non-jurancy ( not being confirmed members of The Church of England ), and therefore was of immediate benefit to able Scots, Quakers, Jews and Catholics and eventually to those of any faith worldwide.
Alumni include Alexander Graham Bell, Gandhi, Jonathon Ross and Ricky Gervais.
UCL, as it is usually known, although technically part of The University of London, is a vast university in its own right, with an endowment of £90 million pounds and 21,620 students of whom 9,650 are postgraduates. There are 3,800 teaching faculty many of whom are active in research. In 2004 UCL was permitted to grant its own degrees alongside University of London ones.
UCL is a member of the “G5” British universities recognised by The Times as of “international standing” ( the others being Oxford, Cambridge, The London School of Economics and The Imperial College of Science and Technology ). UCL accounts for 40% of the entire UK university research expenditure, and occupies much of the inner London suburb of Bloomsbury, which, however, it shares with The British Museum, a number of big hotels, and numerous smaller colleges.
It boasts 19 Nobel Laureates and 3 Fields Medal recipients ( mathematicians ). Currently, 35 Fellows of the Royal Society ( of scientists ) are employed.

UCL likes fining people. You get fined if the alarm goes off when you take books out too.
It seems pretty primitive tbh.
