The college was opened as the Teachers’ Training & Registration Society College on 1 May 1878 in the Clergy House, Skinner Street, Bishopsgate (now Pindar Street). The Teachers’ Training & Registration Society was created by the Women's Education Union to promote women’s right to education and the professional recognition of female teachers. The Society was promoted by Maria Georgina Grey who had also been fundamental in the founding of the Union. In 1885 it moved to Fitzroy Square, and in March 1886 it was renamed Maria Grey College after its founder. In 1946 it moved to Twickenham. In 1976 the College merged with Borough Road College and Acton & Chiswick Polytechnic to form the West London Institute of Higher Education. In 1995 the West London Institute of Higher Education became part of Brunel University.
