Maria Grey Training College

It was named for Maria Georgina Grey, a promoter of women's education and a founder of the organisation that became the Girls' Day School Trust.

In 1885, it moved to Fitzroy Square,[4] and in March 1886 it was renamed Maria Grey College after its founder.

[1] The college was attached to Brondesbury and Kilburn High School so that the trainee teachers could test their skills in a classroom situation.

New buildings for the college and high school were erected in 1892, designed by architect J. Osborne Smith, at a cost of £11,500 (£1.58 million as of 2025).

[1] In 1995, the West London Institute of Higher Education became part of Brunel University.
