Founded in 1842 by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain as the College of the Pharmaceutical Society, it began offering University of London degrees in 1925. It was renamed The School of Pharmacy in 1949 when it became independent of the Pharmaceutical Society and was incorporated into the University of London. To its alumni and colleagues in the pharmacy profession, it is known as "the Square", which refers to the fact that it was originally located in Bloomsbury Square and now in Brunswick Square. It was granted a Royal Charter in 1952.
