Universities and research institutions in London

London brings world-class research into unusually close contact with industry, capital and government. Imperial College London, the Francis Crick Institute, the Alan Turing Institute, the Institute of Cancer Research and NPL anchor strengths spanning AI, engineering, biomedicine and measurement science. Around them, university accelerators and venture programmes help researchers turn intellectual property into companies. Few cities offer the same density of specialist institutions alongside investors, major employers and one of Europe’s largest technology ecosystems.
