History

Cruciform building
Cruciform building

It was founded in 1834, eight years after UCL (then known as the University of London), as the North London Hospital in order to provide clinical training for the "medical classes" of the University, after a refusal by the governors of the Middlesex Hospital to allow UCL students access to that hospital's wards. The first major operation under ether in Europe was conducted at University College Hospital by Robert Liston in 1846. It was split from UCL in 1905, and a new building (designed by Alfred Waterhouse), known as the Cruciform building, was opened in 1906, which survives to the present day.

University College London - definition of University College London in Encyclopedia (1129 words)
UCL was founded in 1826 under the name "University of London" as an alternative to the strictly religious universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
However it was not until 1836, when the University of London was established, that the college was legally recognised and granted the power to award degrees of the University of London.
It has also been said that, since the charter of King's College London (granted in 1829) predates that of UCL by five years, UCL should not even be regarded as the oldest college in the University of London.
