London Metropolitan University

London Metropolitan University (LMU), located in London, England, was formed on 1 August 2002 by the amalgamation of the University of North London (est.1896) and the London Guildhall University (est.1848).The University has campuses in the City of London and in the London Borough of Islington.The University operates its own archives, libraries and museum. The Women's Library houses the archives of the Fawcett Society, and other material on the history of feminism. The other collections are the TUC Library,the Irish Studies Collection and The Frederick Parker Collection.In 2011, LMU faced an uncertain future with 70 per cent of its courses cut and widespread speculation that it could close due to its history of financial crisis and mismanagement since the merger.
