It merged with the Medical College of St Bartholomew's Hospital in 1995 to form Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, which in 2022 became known as the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London.

From the 1740s onwards, permission had been given to members of the staff at the London Hospital to give lectures on the hospital's premises, and in 1873 two members, William Blizard and James Maddocks, proposed to the committee that a medical school be established, organised along the lines of a university.

Although the hospital made no fincancial contributions, the committee did allocate a plot of land to the east of the hospital on which to build a lecture theatre and museum, which opened in October 1785.

In 1995 the two colleges, along with Queen Mary and Westfield College (now Queen Mary University of London), merged to form Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.
