Holborn College

It was originally established as Holborn Law College in 1969 to prepare young lawyers from overseas for the University of London International Programme – and then Wolverhampton University External – LLB exams and received the Queen's Award for Export Achievement in 1982 for its role in international education.

The loss of the well-subscribed part- and full-time courses deprived the college of a vital source of revenue.

The school then moved to a site along the A206 (Woolwich Road), close to the Thames Barrier, in Charlton Riverside in South-East London.

The college had a diverse mix of students from the UK and the rest of the world, in particular from Africa, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Caribbean and Eastern Europe.

On the adjacent former playgrounds of this school new buildings were constructed for the short-lived Royal Greenwich University Technical College, which opened in 2013.
