Since then, there have been various name changes: the Polytechnic of the South Bank in 1970, the South Bank Polytechnic in 1987, the South Bank University in 1992, and finally the London South Bank University in 2003.

In 1888, a local solicitor named Edric Bayley formed the South London Polytechnics Committee with the members of the London School Board. The committee was able to raise £200,000 from the public with the aid of charity commissioners.

A meeting was held at Mansion House for the public recognition of the varsity, and by 1891, enough funds had been gathered to form polytechnics at Battersea and Borough Road, Southwark, now known as London South Bank University.

In 1890, the previous buildings of Joseph Lancaster’s British and Foreign School Society were bought for the Borough Polytechnic Institute. In 1892, Lord Rosebery officially opened the Borough Polytechnic Institute to educate the local community and gain practical skills.

The institution's courses greatly impacted laundry, leather tanning, typography, metalwork, electrical engineering, boot and shoe manufacture, and baking. Lectures were held by some of the most prestigious personas, focussing on art, elocution, literature, and science.
