University of West London Student Accommodation
Not many students outside of the University of Cambridge can boast of having ties to the renowned romantic poet Lord Byron – and yet, those studying at the University of West London can count themselves among the lucky ones who can. Originally the Ealing Grove School (England’s first co-operative school), the institution now occupied by UWL was first founded by Lord Byron’s ex-wife, the abolitionist and social reformist Annabella Milbanke. A progressive icon and genius in her own right, Lady Byron laid the foundations for the University of West London and all that it is today, paving the way for improved education both in Victorian-era and 21st-century Ealing. Thanks, Lady Byron!
