University College London was founded on February 11th 1826, the third University in the United Kingdom after Oxford and Cambridge.
The Universities main building, pictured in this panorama, was designed by William Wilkins and constructed between 1827 and 1828. The building is centered on a Corinthian portico which is reminiscent of the British Museum, (constructed a couple of years earlier).
After the building of University College London Wilkins went to design the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square.
