The college was originally founded in 1895 on Manresa Road and Chelsea Square (SW3). The area was renowned for many artists and craftsmen who had moved into studios and workshops for the purpose of The Great Exhibition of 1851. The forming of the prior 'Chelsea School of Art' was in 1964, an amalgamation with the late Polytechnic School of Art (The West London School of Art). Chelsea later expanded from one campus to four, having acquired Bagleys Lane (SW6) in 1975, a merger with the Hammersmith School of Art at Lime Grove (WC1) and lastly Hugon Road (SW6) in 1981. The college changed its name to the present 'Chelsea College of Art and Design' in 1986. This shortly happened after the formation of the London Institute, known now as the University of the Arts London. The college has recently relocated next to Tate Britain on Millbank in 2004-05, returning to one standalone campus.
