Welcome

We are located on the Mile End Campus of Queen Mary, University of London. The campus is near Mile End tube station just a few minutes from the City and Olympic Park.

Based in the state of the art Joseph Priestley Building, this modern purpose built chemistry laboratory has all of the facilities you would expect for conducting world class research at a Russell Group University.
