London Business School is an international business school and a constituent college of the University of London. It is considered one of the world’s most highly regarded business schools and its MBA program is frequently ranked among the global top five. Moreover, it has been ranked the best business school in the world by the Financial Times' Global MBA Rankings 2009,[2] a ranking it shares with The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

It is located in central London, beside Regent's Park. It was established in 1964, after the Franks Report recommended the establishment of two business schools, as part of existing universities (London Business School and Manchester Business School), but with considerable autonomy.[3] It has close collaborations with the nearby University College London and the Modern Language Centre at King's College London.
