Overview
London Business School was established in 1964 as the London Graduate School of Business Studies, following the Franks Report’s recommendation that Britain needed major postgraduate business schools. It was registered as a company in 1965, recognised by the University of London, and in 1970 Queen Elizabeth II opened its Regent’s Park campus. In 1986 it took its current name and was incorporated by Royal Charter, giving it the right to award its own degrees.
Today London Business School is a postgraduate-only business school and a member institution of the University of London, with around 2,275 students from more than 130 countries. Its flagship programme is the full-time MBA, lasting 15 to 21 months, alongside Executive MBA degrees in London and Dubai, a Global Executive MBA with Columbia Business School, Masters in Finance and Management, and a PhD programme.
The school’s faculty includes leading researchers in finance, economics, management and marketing, and its alumni network spans the world’s major companies, banks and consultancies. Its location in central London, beside Regent’s Park, places students at the centre of one of the world’s great financial and business capitals.

Rankings & Recognition
London Business School does not appear in the overall QS World University Rankings 2027, Complete University Guide 2027 or Guardian University Guide 2027 tables, which are designed for large multi-faculty universities rather than postgraduate-only business schools. It is ranked in specialist MBA and business master’s tables, where its MBA is consistently placed among the best in the world.
The school’s standing rests on its faculty, its research and its graduates. Its MBA and Masters in Finance programmes are ranked among the world’s leading business degrees, and its alumni hold senior roles in finance, consulting, technology and entrepreneurship around the world.

Accommodation
London Business School does not operate its own halls of residence. Instead, its student support team provides advice on private rented accommodation in London, including flats, shared houses and lodgings near the Regent’s Park campus, and guidance on tenancy agreements, deposits and travel costs.
Students are advised to arrange accommodation early, and the school can help them find housemates among other students and connect with private providers and agents. Many students live in Marylebone, Baker Street, Camden and nearby areas, within walking distance or a short Tube ride of the school, while others choose areas further out on Tube and bus routes.
