The City University dates back to 1894 when it was founded as the Northampton Institute (being located in Northampton Square). It achieved university status in 1966, as an independent institution outside the University of London federation. It has always had strong links with the City of London and the Lord Mayor is the university's chancellor. This attractive sign stands outside a rather less attractive concrete building on Spencer Street.
