London Theological Seminary was founded in 1977 by a group of ministers led by Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who was chairman of the Board of Trustees until his death in 1981.
Its theological position is Conservative Evangelical in the Reformed tradition, and only admits men on the seminary pastoral training course.
However, the seminary also runs a separate women's course called Flourish on nine days throughout the academic year.
London Seminary used to be licensed by the Home Office[3] to enrol international students and in past years students have come from Argentina, Armenia, Brazil, Burma, Cameroon, Canada, China, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Honduras, India, Italy, Korea, Madagascar, Malaysia, Nepal, Netherlands, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, and the USA.
