Royal Holloway University

Day 298 - Today we took our daughter on a visit to a potential University.

Elizabeth Jesser Reid founded Bedford College in 1849 and Thomas Holloway founded Royal Holloway College, he built the stunning Founder's building, which was opened in 1886 by Queen Victoria. The colleges were among the very first institutions in the UK to give women access to higher education. In 1900, the colleges were admitted to the University of London and merged in 1985 to form what is today known as Royal Holloway, University of London.
