O "University College de Londres" (UCL) é a universidade pública máis antiga e grande da Universidade Federal de Londres. Fundada en 1826, a UCL foi a primeira institución universitaria totalmente laica en Inglaterra, admitindo estudantes con independencia da súa relixión e mulleres en iguais condicións ós homes.
 
A pesares de non ter relación directa coa súa fundación, o filósofo Jeremy Bentham é considerado o pai da UCL, pois as súas ideas radicais sobre educación e sociedade foron a inspiración dos seus fundadores. A UCL foi unha das dúas universidades fundadoras do "University of London" en 1836. Desde entón ten crecido a través de fusións, incluídas a do "Institute of Neurology" en 1997, o "Royal Free Hospital Medical School" en 1998, o "Eastman Dental Institute" en 1999, o "School of Slavonic and East European Studies" en 1999 e a "School of Pharmacy" en 2012.
