{{further|University of North London}}
Founded as the Northern Polytechnic Institute in 1896, it merged in 1971 with the North Western Polytechnic which was established in 1929, to become the Polytechnic of North London. Until the passing of the Education Reform Act 1988, the Polytechnic was under the control of the Inner London Education Authority – part of the then Greater London Council and awarded the degrees of the former Council for National Academic Awards. Under the Further and Higher Education Act 1992, the institution, a pioneer of widening participation and access to higher education, was granted university status and the right to award its own degrees. Following the merger with [[London Guildhall University]], London Metropolitan University became the largest unitary university in [[Greater London]].

The former UNL campus is now the Holloway campus and is located on [[Holloway Road]], near [[Holloway Road tube station|Holloway Road]] and [[Highbury & Islington station|Highbury & Islington]] tube stations.
